I run a small guest house and need a website that lets visitors see the charm of the property and book rooms instantly. I still own the original domain but must pay the registrar to reactivate it, so the first step will be securing and pointing it to the new host. The look and feel should be rustic and charming—think warm tones, natural textures and plenty of inviting photography that reflects the house’s character. From there, the site structure is straightforward: a homepage that sets the tone, dedicated room-detail pages, a section for guest reviews, a “What we offer” area covering tours and activities, and a clear contact page. The heart of the project is Direct Bookings. I need: • A real-time availability calendar tied to each room • Secure payment-gateway integration (major cards & ideally Apple/Google Pay) • Automated confirmation and reminder emails so I’m not sending them manually Please build on a platform I can update myself; I’m comfortable with WordPress or a similarly user-friendly CMS and would like a short hand-over session once the site is live. Deliverables • Domain reactivation guidance and DNS setup • Fully styled, mobile-responsive website with the pages listed above • Integrated booking engine with calendar, payments and email automation working end-to-end • Basic SEO (titles, meta descriptions, image alt tags) so I can be found easily • One-page reference guide or recorded walkthrough for future edits I’ll supply photos, copy and pricing details as soon as we start. Let me know the typical timeline you need to get the booking engine connected and I’ll coordinate content delivery to keep things moving.
