On a cold Maine morning like today it's hard not to fantasize about sipping Mai Tai's while lounging on a beach chair somewhere warm. Now you can make that fantasy a reality with a single click.
Flyte recently launched a new Web site for Hewins Travel, a Maine travel agency serving both business and personal travelers.
Visitors to the site can book their entire trip online: hotel, air, car, cruise, vacation packages, the works. The challenge in this site was in taking widgets from a wide variety of providers and making them conform to the look and feel of the Web site.
For travelers who want a little more old-school support, Hewins has offices throughout the state of Maine, with real live travel agents ready to help! (I didn't believe it at first, but it's true! Travel agents exist and Hewins has them!)
Interestingly enough, the very first post I ever did on this blog, back on November 3rd, 2004, announced our design for Hewins Travel's home page. They had a backend system through another provider, so we only got to play around with the first page. A few years later they decided that the old system was holding them back and they engaged flyte for the entire Web site.
Flyte also provided some custom programming to capture email leads and direct them to the appropriate travel agent.
If the cold is getting to you, or business travel is required, be sure to check out Hewins Travel.
