A direct-booking site for a small guesthouse
A five-room guesthouse site built from the owner's own Google listing, with a four-step booking flow that shows how commission-free direct booking would feel.
The brief
Small guesthouses lose a share of every booking to listing platforms. The concept shows what a site that takes bookings directly looks like, using only information the business already publishes.
What we built
- Five individually named rooms, each with its own page, built from the guesthouse's public listing and photographs.
- A booking flow in four steps: dates, room, guest details, and payment by EFT reference.
- A house story page, policies, a contact page, and a preview-notes page listing exactly what we would still need from the owner.
How we did it
The demo is honest. Availability and rates in the booking demo are made up and labelled as such on the page.
Making it real. We would connect a booking engine such as NightsBridge so the calendar shows live availability and bookings update automatically.
Concept. Business name, address and photographs removed. This is concept work and no client relationship is implied.
