I need a developer who can build a full-featured website for my chain of hotels, centred around a real-time room-booking engine. Guests must be able to search each property, see up-to-the-minute availability, select their dates, and complete the reservation in one seamless flow. Key requirements • Real-time availability across all hotels in the group, with instant confirmation once a room is locked in. • A clean, responsive front end that guides users from search to booking in as few clicks as possible. • An intuitive admin panel where my staff can add properties, upload room types, set rates, block dates, and track bookings. • Secure user account creation so returning guests can view or amend their reservations. • Modular code that lets us add payment gateway integration or customer reviews later without re-architecting the core. I’m flexible on the tech stack—feel free to suggest the framework or CMS you’re most comfortable with (Laravel, Node, Django, WordPress + custom plugin, etc.) as long as it supports high-traffic performance and is easy for my team to maintain. Please outline: 1. Your proposed architecture and tools. 2. How you’ll handle real-time inventory to prevent double bookings. 3. A rough timeline from design to launch. Deliverables are the ready-to-deploy website, documentation, and a short hand-over session showing my staff how to manage day-to-day operations.
