What they needed
The cottage was let through a listing site that took a commission on every booking and presented it like any other property. The owners wanted to put their own welcome across, in their own words and pictures, and to take bookings directly.
What I built
A website covering the cottage, the local experiences, availability and booking, with payment through Stripe. Behind it sits a content console where the owners edit the copy and choose the images, and a dashboard that shows how guests move through the site. Errors are reported to me so they are fixed before a guest notices.
- Availability-led booking with payment through Stripe
- A content console for copy and images
- A dashboard showing how guests use the site
- Error reporting straight to the developer
The outcome
Guests book and pay on the owners' own site, with no commission in between, and the welcome they read is the owners' own.
