Web design for hotels and B&Bs

The rooms are beautiful; the website says 2012. We build pages where the photograph leads and the booking closes on your own site, without going through a portal and without paying commission.

What the portals cost you

The guest arrives from a portal, compares the price and books there. Between 15 and 20 % of every night goes in commission, and the hotel never gets the email of the person who slept in its bed. The next stay is booked through the portal too, because that is the only place the guest knows.

What we build

A site where the hotel is seen the way it is lived — the rooms from the inside, the garden, the breakfast, the beach — and where the dates and the price are on the page. The guest picks the nights, sees what is left and sends the booking without being handed to anyone else’s engine.

What the hotel gets

The margin of the direct booking, the guest’s email for the next season, and a site that answers in the language they searched in. The portals keep bringing people; the difference is that now they land somewhere of your own.

What the site has

A booking engine inside your own site: dates, rooms left and the price of each night, without sending the guest anywhere else.
A page per room, with its own photographs and its walk-through.
The languages your guests actually come from — up to seven, with hreflang so Google serves the right one.
WhatsApp and an assistant that answers and quotes, so the enquiry closes the same day.
A site that loads fast on a phone, which is where the decision is made.
Hotel structured data for Google, and your Maps listing pointing at your own site.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take bookings without paying commission?

Yes. The engine lives on your own site and the booking arrives straight to you — there is no intermediary taking a cut. What you pay is the site, once.

Does it make sense if I am already on Booking?

That is exactly when it makes sense. The portals bring you people who have never heard of you; your own site is where the ones who already know you — and the ones who come back — should land, at a better price for them and a better margin for you.

How long does it take?

Days, not months. You get the full site to look at before anything goes live, and we only publish when you say so.

How much does it cost?

We send a fixed quote within 48 hours, with the price closed before we start. There is a guide with real numbers in the blog.

Which languages?

The ones your guests search in. We have built sites in seven, each with its own address and its own pages, not a translate button.
