Established in 1991, Gilpin Travel Management is as a leader in corporate travel and event management, providing an unwavering commitment to the needs and expectations of its clients today and tomorrow.
Gilpin Travel Management has enjoyed remarkable success and growth for twelve years due to its unique business model, which places emphasis on delivering value and providing its clients with access to the highest quality providers and the most efficient and desirable routing.
With offices in Australia and India, Gilpin Travel Management is an American Express Travel Services representative; however, the firm is proudly independently owned and operated.
Having recognised the importance of the Internet as an effective communications and promotion medium, Gilpin Travel Management had already taken the step online in the mid-1990s. However, the website had become dated over time and had inadvertently fallen into disrepair.
Gilpin Travel Management wanted to overhaul its existing Web presence with a striking, fashionable visual design to echo the company’s energy, growth and unique positioning.
Furthermore, Gilpin Travel Management did not want to have to employ a full-time Webmaster to maintain the website in-house, nor did it want to spend valuable time tooling up its staff with HTML skills.
Having spoken to several vendors and Web design agencies, Gilpin Travel Management finally turned to websteps for a result.
Gilpin Travel Management’s Managing Director, Mr. Peter Dick, recollects that after seeing everything else, websteps was like a breath of fresh air:
“The web services I was pitched were convoluted, suspiciously cheap or dreadfully expensive. websteps is different – it takes a ‘colour-by-numbers’ approach to getting a business website up and running”, says Dick.
“There is no jargon, no confusing contracts, no pitfalls. Everything is clearly defined an in plain English. What’s more, there is hardly any waiting – www.gilpin.com.au was up and running before I knew it.”
After thorough consultation, Gilpin Travel Management opted for websteps entry-level solution, websteps Standard. The solution came complete with several customised, professional design templates and was integrated with the websteps Control Panel – a lightweight, innovative content management tool that allowed regular business users to modify the Gilpin Travel Management website without any programming knowledge.
Dick explains, “The addition of a content management tool means that my staff and I are free to update the site directly. I don’t have to employ a full time web master or engage in costly maintenance contracts with a web designer.”
