Why the splash page is the highest-traffic screen a venue owns
A venue website is visited by a fraction of the people who walk through the door. The splash page is different: it is shown to essentially everyone who wants WiFi, at a moment when they have already decided to stay. That combination of complete reach and captive attention makes it a uniquely valuable piece of owned media. Treating it as a compliance formality wastes it. Treating it as a one-screen conversion surface, with a single clear action, is what separates venues that build a usable guest list from venues whose list is mostly typos and throwaway addresses.
Design rules that hold up in practice
The page renders inside a small OS mini-browser on most phones, often with no address bar, no back button and limited JavaScript patience. Design for that constraint: one column, large tap targets, the login action visible without scrolling, and total page weight small enough to load over a saturated venue uplink. Ask for the minimum data you will actually use. Every additional field is one more thing to type on a phone keyboard, and a field you never query is pure friction. Say plainly what the guest gets in return, and make the consent checkbox a real, unticked choice rather than a pre-selected one.
What to put after the login
The redirect destination after a successful login is the second most valuable moment and is usually wasted on a generic success page. Point it at something that serves both parties: a menu, a today-only offer, a booking page, a loyalty signup, or a review link if the guest is on their way out. In VoqadoWiFi you set this destination per location in the portal builder, so each venue can send guests somewhere that is relevant to it.
Run a guest WiFi login on your own network
VoqadoWiFi runs branded guest portals on TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti UniFi networks. The Starter plan is free forever: one location, 500 logins a month, consent logging included.
Common questions about splash page
How many form fields should a splash page ask for?
As few as you will genuinely use. Email plus consent is enough to build a marketing list. First name helps personalisation. Birthday is worth asking only if you actually run a birthday campaign. Each extra field slows the login down, so add one only when a specific campaign depends on it.
Can the splash page be different for different locations?
Yes. In VoqadoWiFi each location can have its own branding, welcome wording and after-login page, while guest data still rolls up to one account. Guests sign in with an email address on every location.
