Industry, venue and professional pages: what each one is for

These are the marketing pages for particular visitors: a hotel, an estate agent, a venue manager who has photos or a camera or neither, a 360° photographer, or anyone who wants to try the tool. The home page's Are you… chooser sends people to them. This page lists each kind and what it explains.

Who sees them. Everybody, with no account. A signed-in person gets buttons for creating a tour in place of buttons for signing up. Nothing on them needs a plan. Their prices, plan names and limits are read from the plans on the day, never typed. Words about Vaults show only while Vaults are on sale.

What every page has. A headline, a summary, a short video where one exists (it loads only when played), the steps or points of that audience, questions and answers, and a button to start. They promise only what a Help Center guide explains.

The pages

Industries

The list of every industry page.

Where: Industries, linked from the About page and the site map. Default: Always shown. What it does: Shows a card for each of the industries, with its name and one line, a link to the pages for 360° professionals, and one to the page about creating a tour of your venue. The industries are, in order: estate agents and lettings, hotels and resorts, holiday lets, restaurants and event venues, attractions and tourism, schools, colleges and universities, museums and galleries, gyms and clubs, care homes and clinics, shops and showrooms, cars, boats and aircraft, offices and coworking, construction and architecture, factories and warehouses, 3D renders and games, parks, gardens and campsites, and marketing and web agencies.

Industry page

One page for each industry.

Where: www.panoramr.com/industries/<name>, from a card on Industries. The old address for photographers and creators moves for good to the professionals page. Default: Always shown. What it does: Explains, for that industry, what a tour is for, what to photograph, how to put the brand on the tour, which features it uses most, and which plan or Vault fits. Real estate, for example, goes from the photos to the listing and the plan for an agency.

A page for people who search for a free tool.

Where: Free virtual tour maker. Default: Always shown.

Troubleshooting

A page says "not found". Only the industries, professionals pages and venue pages listed above exist. Use the Industries page.

The start button asks me to sign up. The Try page is switched off in TourHQ, so a visitor without an account cannot start a try tour. Free account covers signing up.
