Direct bookings for US lodges and inns
Online travel agencies are useful for discovery, but every booking they take costs commission. A strong website gives guests who already found you a reason to book direct: better photos, clearer information and a booking engine that is quick on a phone.
We connect the booking engine you already use, add each room, rate and policy, and build guides to the area that answer the questions guests search for before they travel.
Approach
How we design hospitality websites
Sell the place, then the room
Guests book an experience first and a room second. The home page sets the scene with your best photography and a short promise, then leads to the rooms, the rates and the booking engine without detours.
Every unit gets its own page
Each room, cottage or suite needs its own page with a gallery, sleeping arrangements, inclusions and a “Book this” button. Those pages answer the questions that otherwise arrive by email, and they can rank for searches about your area.
Content that brings guests in
Guides to activities, attractions, walks and directions are what people search for while they plan a trip. We build them with you and keep them easy to update, and a blog lets you share seasonal news.
Fast with lots of photos
Hospitality sites live and die by their photography. We serve every image in modern formats at the right size for each screen, so galleries stay fast on mobile data.
Run the property, not just the website
Properties that want more than a website can add HotelOps, our guesthouse software for the room chart, reservations, housekeeping, maintenance and staff rosters.
Hospitality website questions
Will the site work with our booking engine?
In most cases, yes. We link the engine you already use from every booking button, and can add availability widgets where your provider offers them.
Can we update rates and specials ourselves?
Yes. Rates, specials and seasonal notices are simple pages or sections that you edit in the admin.
Can you move our current site?
Yes. We move existing content and photos, set up redirects from every old address, and check that search visibility carries over. Berghouse moved from WordPress to WDS Prism this way.
Do you take care of the photos?
We optimise and present the photos you have, and advise on what is missing so a photographer can fill the gaps.
