Case Study: Ansonborough Inn achieves streamlined room availability, deal management, and easy content editing with Kentico

Ansonborough Inn - Customer Case Study

Ansonborough Inn, a boutique hospitality property, needed a website that would serve both as an online brochure and a portal for guests to check room availability, promote special room deals as individual product pages, and provide two distinct contact forms (newsletter signup and general inquiries)—all while remaining easily editable by the client. The project also had the constraint of using the free Kentico CMS license and required consistent form element styling across browsers.

DataSpring built the site using a simple HTML form with JavaScript to build a URL query to the Inn’s external availability system, and implemented special offers as a custom document type displayed via a repeater so the client can create and edit deal pages easily. To work around Kentico’s single BizForm limit, they used an altform custom layout to handle both contact types (same destination email), and applied the jqTransform jQuery plugin for consistent form styling. The result is an editable, standards-compliant site that meets the Inn’s booking and marketing needs within the free Kentico license.
