This page explains how to use and customise the responsive version (beta) of the booking page.
The design of the responsive booking page is fully modular. This allows you to fully control the layout. We provide a set of default layouts which can be used as they are.

Go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE and select "Booking Page Version" = Responsive. This setting will activate Layout 1.

The responsive booking page consists of sections: "Offer" contains the standard offer for a room or unit.

For each section you can choose from a set of modules.
