SkyJet Airlines finds a partner in WebsiteExpress.BIZ

MANILA, Philippines - When SkyJet Airlines chief executive officer Joel Mendoza was contemplating on choosing a partner-developer for the company’s website, he took the chance… and it paid off.

After all, he had a not-so-good experience with previous developers. “To me, accountability is one of the key considerations. It’s not just about finding an experienced developer but finding a reliable and dependable one. Everything was uncertain, but we had to take our chances,” said Mendoza.

And these attributes are what the youthful CEO of today’s most dynamic airline company found in WebsiteExpress.BIZ, the Web development group of listed company Now Corp., formerly known as Information Capital Technology Ventures Inc. (ICTV).

Mendoza found WebsiteExpress.BIZ’s work portfolio impressive, especially its track record in developing custom-built websites and mobile apps for private enterprises, advertising agencies and the public sector. 

“We knew we found the right company for us who will take care of our IT needs specifically with our website. They also took care of the maintenance, support and content management. We both share in our advocacy of helping more people discover communities in other parts of the country that are perfect as eco-cultural destinations,” Mendoza said.

Aside from marketing, Mendoza said having a website is an important tool in reaching out to people and help them understand their advocacy about eco-cultural tourism.

Through the website, he hopes that the country’s newest full-service boutique airline would be able to convey its vision to be the airline of choice of both local and foreign travelers in going to niche destinations like Batanes, Busuanga, Caticlan, Virac, Surigao and soon in Coron, Palawan.

So when SkyJet Airlines’ website, www.skyjetair.com, went up last February, Mendoza was excited.

“We had a very good response from the market which made us very happy. There was an opportunity in challenging WebsiteExpress.BIZ to build a custom website for us in less than 14 days. We had a major presentation in one of the world’s largest international aviation conference and we needed to launch our brand new website. We have made the right decision,” he said.

With the combined efforts of the team from WebsiteExpress.BIZ and SkyJet Airlines, the website also became the first in the country to roll out a fully responsive design that is optimized for browsing either via tablets or smartphones. Now anyone who has a tablet or smartphone can book a flight.

“We realized also that it is not only important to have a website but a good website run by a reputable company. Definitely, my other clients would benefit taking on WebsiteExpress.BIZ as their website partner-developer,” Mendoza said.
