Publishing workflow

From idea to bookable article

One repeatable flow for destination guides, supplier news, policy notices and campaign posts.

  1. Draft

    An author writes the post in the editor and saves it as a draft.

  2. Media

    Add images from the media library and set the featured image.

  3. Optimise

    Fill in the meta title, description, slug, category and tags.

  4. Review

    An editor checks the draft before anything goes public.

  5. Publish

    Go live now or on a scheduled date, in each language.

  6. Update

    Refresh prices, dates and rules as offers and policies change.

Content and commerce

Posts that link to what you sell

The blog lives on the same site as your booking engine, so readers are one click from a product.

  • Hotels, tours and flights

    Link a guide to the hotels, tours, cars or flight search for that destination.

  • Offers and deals

    Point campaign posts at live offers so readers can book the deal they just read about.

  • Menus and site pages

    Add the blog, its categories and featured posts to menus, the footer and CMS pages.

Back office

Run your content from the booking admin

Writers, editors and managers work in the same dashboard as your sales and support teams.

  • Roles and permissions

    Decide who can write, edit, publish or delete posts.

  • Drafts and approvals

    Keep drafts private until an editor approves them for publishing.

  • Translations

    Manage each language version of a post from the same screen.

  • Theme templates

    Posts render in your site theme, so articles match your booking pages.

  • Backup and restore

    Back up content before big changes and restore it if needed.

  • One admin

    One login for content, bookings, customers and agents.
