Website with direct bookings
Almary Dream
The website of a luxury B&B on the Costa Smeralda, in four languages, with availability synced from booking portals and commission-free booking requests.
The problem
The B&B only existed on Booking and Airbnb: no website of its own, no channel for direct requests, commission on every booking and no control over the brand. Without a site there was no way to see where visitors came from either.
What I built
A multilingual showcase site with a direct booking request system, designed mobile-first: over 90% of visitors come from phones.
Showcase
- Opening video, rooms with full-screen galleries, services and beaches
- Italian, English, German and Romanian, each with its own URL
Bookings
- Calendar that automatically reads booked dates from Airbnb and Booking
- Guided request: email to the owner and a row in Google Sheets, no commission
- Technical SEO, consent-based analytics and a managed Google Ads campaign
Technologies
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- Tailwind
- Vercel
- iCal
- Google Analytics 4
The result
The B&B now has its own channel: guests check dates and get in touch directly, with no commission, and every contact lands in one place. With the linked campaign, the ad click-through rate rose 44% in September compared with the previous month, with a lower cost per contact.
