Client Since 2010

The Galadari Hotel is probably one of the strongest brands in the island. It is one of the most established five star hotels in Sri Lanka. With its sleek architecture fused with an ambience that is royal the hotel is poised to give its dwellers a comfortable and luxurious stay. What was required was a website that would complement its royal ambiance. With the post war boom appealing more and more tourists into the country the need for an online facelift was obvious.

While placement in the search engines was important, we were also called to come up with a design that would match the grandeur of the hotel - a design that would give a user a feel of the hotel and its exclusive facilities. Our strategy was to retain the design theme to that of the hotel; the goldish brownish feel.

Client's Objectives

• o Have a user-friendly website that's displays all the facilities of the hotel
• o Create an appealing look that would trigger the browser to stay longer in the website and even make an inquiry.
• o Position website high on search engines with the aim to reach target audience (travellers, tourists etc.).
• o The website be designed using latest designing and development tools that would enhance the web presence of Galadari.

The theme for the website was settled, it had to be something elegant to match the shades of brown and gold. Apart from a sleek our designers also thought it would be best to give the website a visual impact. Creating a sensual impact was of utmost importance, therefore plans were underway to use advanced tools to present the website with plenty of images, to stud every area with visuals of the hotel giving the visitor a quick grasp of the hotel and its facilities.

• A creative design - the home page was designed using CSS & Flash. The combination gave way to the inclusion of creativity and strategy. The theme as you may see is the ambience of the hotel itself. Coloured and painted to give the visitor a sensual impact. Images were used extensively as the policy images speak more than words were followed at all pages.


• Advanced CSS menu - having in mind a browser who is not only checking this website but probably is also visiting many other website probably even simultaneously made us go for a system that would give access to the important areas of the website quickly. The advanced CSS menu was nothing short of a brilliant idea, as it gave the user a quick sneak preview into the inner pages along with triggering images.


• Link to online reservation system - the website is linked with the hotel's centralized online reservation system directly calling the user to action. While giving complete information about the hotel, facilities, amenities and suites the online reservation facility gives the user to make a reservation on the same note itself.


• Frequently Updates through CMS - frequent updates was a must for Galadari Hotel, be it the rooms, the facilities or restaurants - all areas of the website are updateable instantly through the easy to use content management system we have provided them. The hotel has a galore of promotions all year around, and for this purpose we have also placed an interactive footer that exhibits all current promotions in the home page itself.


• SEO solutions - Galadari Hotel being a reputed name in the internet and off the internet the strong brand presence was al by means an added advantage. Our aim was to bring the website to high ranks in Search Engines through continuous assessments and strategies.
