Facebook tab and mobile optimisation for Web Bookings

Today we rolled out some changes in our web app which make the structure clearer and support a bundle of new features for Web Bookings (=our booking engine which is available to the paid plan subscribers).

Web Bookings  in now working as a facebook tab.  All you have to do to add it to your facebook page is:

  1. Go to Settings > Web Bookings and scroll down at the Facebook page tab section.
  2. Press the following button.

Also, Web Bookings is now optimised for mobile devices. As increasingly many people access the web from mobile phones or tablets it is paramount for a booking engine to be mobile optimised.  Web bookings auto-detects the device of the users and serves a mobile version to the mobile devices. It looks like this:

If you do not have a website and you are using web bookings as your website, you just got a mobile website, too!

To make clearer what areas of our web application are related with the setup of Web Bookings  or affect its operation, we have marked them using the following image. You will find it at the right side of each relevant page section header.

Another feature that Web Bookings supports, and which we had silently added a few days ago, is the integration of Google Analytics. If you want to track visitors and page views of the booking engine as if it were a separate website, you can create a new property in Google Analytics and add the tracking code to Web Bookings. This will give an abundance of stats that will help you to determine which actions you need to take to determine where your prospects are coming from, and what you need to do to optimise conversions.

Since a lot of people are missing the opportunity to get a taste of these features, being reluctant to give their credit card in order to start a trial, we have dropped this requirement. Now you can start a 15-day trial at sign up without having to give a credit card. For the existing users, we have added an option to start a trial from the dashboard.

Last but not least, the new version of the web app is translated in Italian too.
