Around Locarno many businesses live by the season: restaurants, grotti, accommodation, shops, guides, event and course organisers. A large share of their customers come from north of the Alps and look for information in German, often on a phone and shortly before setting off. The site therefore has to show quickly what you offer, when you are open and how to reach you, in your guests' languages.
Opening hours, seasons and events always up to date
MIDGARD Pro, at CHF 290 a year all-inclusive, is designed for businesses whose information changes often: a browsable calendar with up to 48 entries for evenings, markets, courses or tours, with a link to the sign-up page; up to 12 offers with an indicative price and expiry date that disappear on their own at the end of the season; dedicated subpages, for example for the menu or events. The changes you ask us for are included in the fee, and the page goes live within 48 hours of payment, hosted with Infomaniak in Switzerland.
If you only need to present yourself with photos, opening hours and contact details, MIDGARD Base at CHF 99/year is enough. The page is published at elarateq.ch/m/name.
What MIDGARD does not do
MIDGARD does not handle room or table bookings, ticketing or online payments. If you already use a booking platform, we link to it. If you need an integrated system, your own domain or a larger website, we design it to measure, priced on quote.
German matters
For a tourism business the German version is not a detail. We handle copy and translation through our editorial service and set titles and descriptions so the page also appears in German-language searches. For seasonal promotion we can add social media.
A page that keeps pace with the season
At the end of the season just tell us what changes: new opening hours, winter closure, the spring programme. We update the page at no extra cost, or you do it yourself in the MIDGARD Studio editor, which lets you change text, photos and colours. A page with outdated information loses more customers than a simple one.
Getting started
Send contact@elarateq.ch your business name, opening period and two lines on what you offer. We tell you which package makes sense and what we need to go live.
