5/11/09 - Exciting Update on the Bookt Platform

Last week was another great week of development on the Bookt platform. Here is your weekly update.

Site and Control Panel SPEED – Over the last couple of months, site speed (webpage loading time) has become a top priority. We understand that a slow site can result in a higher bounce rate, higher abandonment, and ultimately fewer conversions on your website. We monitor the load time of every single page platform wide and capture a mountain of data that helps us more effectively optimize the speed of your site. Late last week, we put in place a series of tweaks that have already resulted in a vast improvement. By the end of this week we expect to see average page loading time reduced to almost half of what it was early last week. To quantify that, we expect to see the average page load time to drop to less than 0.6 seconds, with a overall goal over 0.3 seconds or less.

Property Comparison – Last week we announced the new property comparison feature as a new release available for your website. This feature has now been activated for your website and should be visible for you and your site visitors later today.

Instant Software Partial Sync – For those of you who use an application of Instant Software, we have now enhanced out connection and provided a partial sync solution. This means that instead of having to drive all of your content/data through your Instant Software application, you can now manage that content directly from your Bookt Control Panel. For instance, you can upload new, higher resolution photos to your website, and also setup limitless amenities. Please contact your success manager to understand all of the capabilities and limitations before working through.

For any questions regarding this new release, please contact your Bookt Success Manager.
