What is an app home page template?

Overview

A home page template is a predefined design and structure for the guest app's home page, created by corporate teams to ensure consistency across all hotels within a chain or brand.

Inside Brand control, corporate users create the home page templates, applies them to specific hotels, and each hotel then customizes its content according to the editing permissions defined within the corporate template. This ensures a unified look and feel while preserving each hotel’s unique content.

 

What can you do with the home page templates?

Templates allow the corporate team to enforce control and standardization over the guest app across a brand or chain's hotels. With templates, corporate users can:

  • Define permissions: Control which content elements are fixed and which can be edited by hotels.
  • Create unified structures: Ensure all hotels share a common navigation and home page layout.
  • Enable customization: Allow individual hotels to showcase unique services through the Custom widget within a standardized structure.

Key benefits

  • Consistency control: Guarantees a unified look and feel for the guest app across the entire chain or brand.
  • Local flexibility: Provides individual hotels the necessary freedom to showcase their unique services and offerings within defined parameters.
  • Efficient updates: Automatically applies published template changes to all linked properties immediately.
