Websites

Lodge websites built to take the booking.

Lodge website development and hotel website development, under one roof. We design and build the site, connect your booking engine, set up tracking from day one, and look after hosting and updates afterwards. The same team stays with you from the first sketch to the first booking.

Your booking engine, properly connectedNightsBridge, ResRequest, Profitroom, RoomRaccoon, HTI, SiteMinder, Hospitality Solutions, Benson, Booking Button or your own system.

Tracking from launch dayGA4, Tag Manager and booking conversion events set up before go-live, so you know what the site earns from week one.

SEO and redirects handledEvery old URL mapped, so a rebuild doesn't cost you the rankings you already have.

Ready for AI searchStructured data and answer-first content that ChatGPT and Google's AI can read, then tracked weekly in Sully.

Fast on a phoneBuilt mobile-first and tested on slow connections, because that's how many guests first find you.

Approach

Two paths for lodge and hotel website development.

For most properties

WordPress

Our own starter theme and plugin set, refined over many lodge sites. Quick to launch, easy for your team to update, and cheaper to run.

+Single lodges, boutique hotels, small collections
+Rooms, rates, specials and experiences you manage
+Hosted and maintained by us

For groups and operators

Custom platforms

Modern headless builds for collections that need more than pages: agent areas, live availability across properties, and connections to Tourplan, ResRequest, Opera or your PMS.

+Multi-property and representation companies
+Trade and agent log-ins with rates and resources
+Custom integrations with your PMS or channel manager

How a build runs

Brief and sitemap

Week 1. Goals, markets, booking engine, and what to keep from the old site.

Design

Weeks 2 to 3. Homepage and key templates, shown as a clickable preview rather than a PDF.

Build and content

Weeks 4 to 7. Our copywriter and photographer fill gaps while the site is built.

Test and launch

Week 8. Bookings, tracking and redirects checked before we switch over.

Hosting and care

Ongoing. Updates, backups and security, plus a monthly check on how the site performs.
