What is the InBe Widget?

The InBe Widget lets your customers find unforgettable places with just a couple of clicks. It works on any website and looks great out-of-the-box. Best of all, you can customize it to match your brand, and intelligently manipulate its data and behavior to suit your needs.

What do people use it for?

The widget is versatile enough to be used for a large number of circumstances. Here are some examples:

  • A travel service that allows customers to find the best restaurants, bars, or cafes to visit based on their preferences when they arrive at their destination
  • A magazine or blog that allows their readers to find the amazing locations
  • A hotel or accommodation booking service that allows customers to find places close to their accommodation that perfectly match their preferences
  • A pageremium feature, or an improvment to their existing customer experience
  • An internal tool for marketing, analytics, or sales teams to find great locations

Why use the InBe Widget?

  • Help your customers discover places based on their needs and preferences
  • Beautiful UI with search, preferences, and results built-in
  • Works with your existing site — no rebuilds, no framework, no technical experience required
