To add content for a website built with Exely Hotel Website Builder, go to the “Website builder” > “Content management” section. It is very important to add up-to-date information about the property and high-quality photos. A well-designed website attracts guests and sells rooms.
The website pages consist of sections. The sections layout on pages depends on the selected layout type (template). For example, in one template, the service images are located on the Services page, and in another template — on the home page.
The website content is added on different tabs of the “Content management” page:
Home page
Tick the check-boxes for the sections that you want to be available on the main page of your website.
About hotel
Select a name for the section with the information about your property from a drop-down list. For example, “About us”.
This section name will be displayed on the website main page.
Add a photo and short description.
If the property has received any awards from booking services or traveler’s websites, add them in Exely Hotel Website Builder.
If you have a YouTube video about your property and a presentation in PDF format, add them in the “Video and presentation” section.
Enter the property name.
Specify the current accommodation and cancellation conditions of the property. Check-in and check-out time is the check-in and check-out time defined in the property settings.
The “Update check-in and check-out time” button synchronizes the check-in and check-out time with the time in the property's general settings. Click this button, if you have changed the time in the settings.
Click “Add a term” to add several terms of stay.
Add cancellation terms.
Rooms
Select the name of the menu item with the list of rooms. The page is filled in automatically based on the data from the “Room types” and “Rate plans” sections.

Booking

Add a text that will be displayed above the form.
You can enable the automatic room offer in the booking engine. By default, the option is disabled.
If the automatic room offer is enabled, the number of guests is indicated on the booking form.
If you want to offer your guests a discounted rate plan available only on the website, use a promo code. To do this, create a promo code “Express” in the “Property settings” > “Promo codes” section, link it to the required rate plan in the “Rate plans” section. Then in the “Content management” → “Booking” section, tick the “Enable the ‘Express’ promo code” check-box.
On the website, a guest clicks the “Use promo code” link and gets access to booking at the rate plan with the promo code.
The “Express” promo code is added.
After selecting dates, the guest will see a closed rate plan for website visitors.
For details on how to create a closed promo code rate plan, refer to the instruction “How to create a special offer only for website visitors”.
