Socotra CheckFront

Project Description

Team Socotra has been granted the opportunity to work with one of the fastest growing tech companies in Victoria, Checkfront. Checkfront provides third-party online booking and reservation service for tourism companies’ websites. Recently, Checkfront has released a new service called SiteBuilder. SiteBuilder is a CMS site-building tool that allows customers to choose from six themes designed specifically for tourism and booking websites. We will create a Site Builder Lite theme to update the current customer-facing booking portal so that it provides a modern look and greater functionality for those customers that choose not to use their CMS tool.
