What was the objective behind your collaboration?Our hotel has over more than 10 years’ experience in the industry but we had never owned a website. Most of our client were just from East Africa and few from Europe and other continent, we were in need of advertising our hotel so we hired a team of expert from Watabe Digital to provide the design and development of a website for our hotel. We were hoping of increase our traffic as well as booking within the period of three month.
What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?They provided us with the best professional website which is easy to use and simple to update., My team had never managed a website before and after their simple training now we are able to manage everything seamless and they were always available when we need any assistance.
Are there any areas for improvements?They exceed our expectations
