How a Search can be Implemented on Hotel eCommerce?

Want to go for a vacation with family? with friends? or on a business tour, your customer will definitely find your hotel online but what makes your hotel site for effective from others? to make if more user friendly & the most important thing your customer finds in your hotel site is the “Search bar”.

So, here i am, my self Varun Soni & i am a professional UI/UX Designer & the main responsible person for the Design of Qloapps— An Open Source Hotel Booking & Reservation System.

A search bar can attract your user to make him desperate to search on your site because the first thing your user find in your hotel booking site is a “Search bar” & it’s in human behaviour, you can’t change it and because it’s the only way for your users so, they can search anything comes to their mind about the luxury or amenities of the Hotel Room they want.

Qloapps v0.9

When we launched Qloapps v0.9 back in December 2015, it was the bold move to make such a gigantic tool as an open source platform for all the hoteliers worldwide & as a UI designer it was worth a learning experience for me to get thousands of reviews about the design & off course the performance of this platform.

Qloapps v1.0

The most important part i’ve came to know which was lacking on v0.9 was the “search bar”. the search bar wasn’t that much effective on that version as it wasn’t attracting the user to search on it. so, we made it change in its next version which was v1.0 so make it more user friendly.

In the above version 1.0 we tried to make the search bar more bold for the user. so, that user will have the clear indication that we want his input to be get searched on our site.

Transformation

Full width search bar you can make your users to keep coming back to your site to again & again to check new plans & availability of rooms.

For sure other factors are always there for a good theme of any hotel eCommerce site but we cannot neglect the roll of a good & user friendly search bar in online hotel rooms booking for more conversions.

So, these are the experience i have got here during all the transformations of qloapps versions.
