Project Detail

Description

Hi,

I am a registered affiliate of HotelsCombined.Com. For my affiliate website (details will be revealed to the candidates that make an offer) I need a full blown implementation of their "private branding" (white label) method guaranteeing that my website looks professional and that no-one can see that HotelsCombined.Com is behind in reality.

More info about private branding @ HotelsCombined.com :
========================================================
http://www.hotelscombined.com/Affiliate/WhiteLabel/Samples/Default.aspx

Examples of other sites that did private branding @ HotelsCombined.com :
=======================================================================
http://search.lowestpricedhotel.com/City/Sydney.htm
http://hotels.completehotelguide.com/city/Sydney.htm
http://www.hotels.travelsignposts.com/City/Sydney.htm

What do I want exactly ?
=========================
Similar to the 3 examples mentioned above I want someone who configures my private branding from A=>Z based on my input and based on the input I give after initial reviews.

From layout point-of-view I want a website that looks similar to Booking.com. Attention : layout is important, it may not look cheap and must look original.

1) On top, I need a logo for my domain that looks professional and that is related to hotel bookings/searches. You should create a basic logo for this. The selected provider will receive more details.
2) On Top left, I need a language selector
3) On Top right, I need a menu structure with Home, About & FAQ section , Hotels By Country (see http://search.lowestpricedhotel.com as an example) and Hotel Search (=home). Advise must be given on how to create texts for the About section and where to place them on my own server.
4) In the Body section the Search must be implemented (looking well with regards to my layout) with the following options :
City, Check-In, Check-Out, Guests, Rooms.
Furthermore I also want the additional filters (Price, Star and Hotel Brand) as seen at http://hotels.completehotelguide.com/ but it must be done better from layout point-of-view.
5) Below the Search I want to see the top destinations : exact copy of http://www.hotelscombined.com. 6) At the right to Search and Top Destinations I want the "Why is Hotels Combined different?" which you can see at http://www.hotelscombined.com. But I must be able to customize the text ofcourse.
7) Just below this "Why is Hotels Combined Different" I want a "Sign-up for our top deals e-mail" as seen on booking.com. Advize must be given on how to store these emails and send out (automated) newsletters.
8) At the bottom I want a footer with "Home", "Bookmark", "Print" and a Copyright Statement.
Important : No vertical scrolling wanted : everything must fit on one screen with the most common resolutions.
9) No Google Adds should be displayed on my homepage but on the 2nd hotel results/booking pages the Adds like see on HotelsCombined.Com must be there.
10) The Hotel results/booking page should look similar to http://www.hotelscombined.com but should fit to my layout.
11) I must be able to analyze all visitors & their surf behaviour. Google Analytics must be installed
12) Everything must be developed SEO friendly as this is the next project that will be started
13) The provider should install the website on my server.
14) Payment via Escrow after succesfull sign-off of the project.

Further questions can ofcourse be answer. Bidders that have experience with Affiliate configuration for http://www.hotelscombined.com will be given priority. In that case, include examples of your previous work.

Please get back to me with your proposal.

thanks

UPDATE :

Since some of you don't have experience with Private Branding at HotelsCombined, I included a small Word Document attached to this project.

Please go trough it and adjust your bids if needed. The document contains a link with more information but then you should register for free first.

Please note that I need the whitelabel implementation and not the API implementation.

thanks
