Two holiday cottages in the South Pennines, an interior styling service and a pre-loved furniture shop, all under one brand. We designed, built and branded a site that gives each its own space without losing the thread between them.

What holiday and travel website design actually needs to do

Holiday and travel website design has one job above the rest: get guests booking direct, so a stay stops costing a commission to the big booking sites. That means working availability and booking integration, photography that actually sells the place, and enough about the local area that someone can picture the trip before they commit. It has to work first on a phone, because most people are browsing a caravan site or a cottage from the sofa or on the move.

It also needs reviews on the page where people are deciding, and a simple way to put up a seasonal offer without waiting on a developer, because the quiet months and the peak weeks need different messages.

What it includes

Built in from day one

  • Bookings straight to you

    Availability and booking built into the site, so a stay gets booked direct instead of through a commission cut.

  • Photography that sells the place

    Rich, real photography of the rooms, pitches or vehicles, not a handful of stock shots that could be anywhere.

  • The local area, not just the stay

    What's nearby and why it's worth the trip, so a guest can picture the holiday, not just the room.

  • Reviews where they matter

    Guest reviews shown on the page where someone is deciding, not buried on a separate site.

  1. Learn the trade

    A free call about your business, your customers and the one job your website has to do well, whether that is a booking, an order or an enquiry.

  2. Plan the pages around that job

    We map out the pages and features a business like yours needs, and leave out the ones it does not.

  3. Design and build

    The site is designed around your brand, not a template, then built to be fast, secure and easy for you to update.

  4. Launch and keep it working

    After launch we keep the site fast, secure and backed up, and can carry on with SEO and marketing if you want to keep growing.

Common questions

Have you built a website for a holiday or travel business before?

Yes. CamperFun is a campervan hire site we built, and we've worked with businesses in touring and holiday lets too. The same approach applies: direct bookings, real photography and content that helps someone picture the trip.

Can the site take bookings without going through a booking site?

Yes, we build in availability and booking so guests can book direct, without paying a commission to a third-party booking site.

Can I add seasonal offers myself?

Yes, you can put up and take down seasonal offers yourself, without needing a developer to do it for you.

Can the site show guest reviews?

Yes, reviews are shown on the page where someone is deciding whether to book, not tucked away on a separate site.

Can the site cover more than one property or pitch type?

Yes, the site can list several properties, pitches or vehicles, each with its own photos, availability and details.
