Dolphin Dynamics launches Web 2.0 based online booking solution offering unprecedented design flexibility and website management control
Travel companies looking for faster and more cost-effective ways to deploy bespoke or white-label online booking systems are to be offered a new innovative solution by Dolphin Dynamics.
Its new web publishing system has been developed in partnership with Telerik; who already supply the industry-leading Sitefinity web publishing system to more than 8,000 companies globally. The newly integrated solution provides travel companies with the ability to easily ‘skin’ or apply entirely new designs to Dolphin’s suite of modern booking websites templates – independently or using a Dolphin Dynamics preferred design partner.
Significantly, the Dolphin solution goes beyond providing simple website content management to enabling customers to easily integrate a range of pre-built website ‘widgets’. Such as blogs, email newsletters, enquiry forms, newsfeeds and surveys, alongside the travel search and booking pages provided by Dolphin. All without the need for any specialist ‘in-house’ programming expertise. For those that require something entirely bespoke Sitefinity’s open .NET based platform facilitates the creation of custom ‘widgets’ without having to invest significantly in further XML-based development.
As part of this new initiative, Dolphin Dynamics is also developing a new set of its own travel-specific widgets that will be released exclusively to its customers. The first of which is an innovative map-based search facility enabling online visitors to launch content driven map-based searches across all suppliers at a country, region and city and suburb level.
Dolphin Dynamics will showcase the new integrated solution at World Travel Market in November and has already signed-up three of its existing customers for the new web publishing system prior to its full market launch.
This major new product launch signals Dolphin Dynamics intent to significantly grow its online booking solution business. The company’s Founder, Roberto Da Re explained, “Sitefinity is totally integrated within our platform allowing for seamless interaction of Dolphin’s booking engine within Sitefinity’s industry-standard page design and publishing environment. This innovation is a departure from the common approach of booking engine suppliers providing restricted design access or basic proprietary content management functions within their online booking engine. Our Sitefinity based offering provides customers with a cost effective way to create a unique web identity, whilst leveraging the rich functionality that Dolphin’s booking engine delivers. We also remain committed to supporting and enhancing our comprehensive XML API for those customers with the business need to build a totally bespoke website from the ground up. Our goal is to enable our customers to compete successfully online by providing leading edge solutions to match their requirements and budget.”
