One visual editor for your whole website

Why a tour website needs more than a general page builder

A general website builder knows about headings, images and buttons. It does not know that a tour has departures, that prices change with the season, or that a Book now button has to lead to a date with seats left. Operators who build on a general tool end up typing prices and dates into text boxes, and those copies go out of date the moment something changes in the booking system.

In Tourtify the website and the bookings share one source. The tours, upcoming departures, booking, reviews, voucher, pass and rental widgets read live data, so when you change a price or close a departure, every page that shows it changes too. You design the page once and the content keeps itself current.

Set global colours and fonts before you style anything else

Site styles hold your primary and accent colours, page, card, text, header and footer colours, and your heading and body fonts. Elements that use a global colour follow it. If you later change the primary colour from a deep green to a navy, every button, link and badge set to Primary changes with it, on every page.

The trade-off is control against consistency. You can give any element its own colour, but each one you set by hand is one you will have to find again when you rebrand. A good rule is to use global colours for anything that repeats and a custom colour only for a one-off, such as a seasonal banner.

The same applies to devices. Each setting has device dots that show whether tablet or phone has its own value; a device without one uses the larger size (Same as Desktop). Start on desktop, then change only what needs to be different on a phone, such as a smaller hero heading or a single column.

Worked example: launching a winter sale page without touching the live site

Say you want a Winter departures page live at 08:00 on Friday. On Monday you create a page in Website › Pages, choose Page builder and start from the Seasonal offer template. You add an upcoming departures widget, a featured testimonial and a call to action. Everything autosaves as a draft and the status pill reads Not published yet.

On Tuesday you choose Copy preview link and send it to your business partner. The link works for seven days without signing in. On Wednesday you change the hero photo after their feedback. On Thursday you press Publish, read the list of what will change, and choose Schedule for Friday at 08:00. The draft goes live as it stands at that time, and you can cancel the schedule if plans change.

If the page needs to come down after the sale, History › Published versions keeps the last 30 published versions, so you can load an earlier one into the draft and publish it again.

Header and footer: what travellers look for first

Travellers who have already booked look for My bookings; travellers who are ready to book look for a phone number or a Book now button. Put both in the header, and use the separate phone header so the menu drawer, logo and one clear button fit on a small screen. A sticky header keeps those links in reach on long tour pages.

Footer widgets such as Contact and About read from your business details and site details, so update your phone number once in Settings and every page follows. The Tours, Destinations and Review rating widgets stay current on their own.

Common mistakes to avoid

Activating a different theme discards unpublished changes in the editor, so publish or save them first. Previewing is safe: Live preview shows any theme with your content and changes nothing.

Do not rely on Hide on phones to remove important information. If something matters to a traveller on a phone, rework the layout instead. Use hiding for decoration, such as a large background photo that slows a small screen.

Keep custom CSS for small adjustments. Element styles are checked on the server, and Custom HTML removes scripts, styles, iframes and event handlers when you save, so it is not a way to add widgets from other services. Embeds accept YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, Instagram posts, OpenStreetMap and Spotify only.
