Websites for resorts and venues

More bookings, booked direct

Websites for lake resorts, lodges, golf courses, wedding venues, and tour operators. Rates on the page, a book button on every screen, and wedding prices before the first email. Three fixed prices, published in full.

The real problem

Every booking through a travel site costs you twice.

Online travel agencies charge a commission on every booking they send. They also own the relationship with the guest, so next summer that guest often books through them again.

A guest who books on your own site costs no commission, and joins your list.

Most resort sites make that harder than it should be. Rates hide behind a form, the book button lives on one page, and wedding prices take three emails to find.

What the site has to do

Make booking direct the easy choice

Guests book wherever it is easiest. Every package below does these six things.

  • Rates on the page

    Every room, cabin, and package shows its rate, so guests compare on your site, not somebody else's.

  • A book button everywhere

    The booking engine you already pay for, styled to match the site, one tap away on every page.

  • Weddings priced up front

    Couples pick a date, a guest count, and a package, and see a range before they write to you.

  • A reason to book direct

    A perk you choose, like late checkout or a free paddleboard, for guests who book on your own site.

  • Seasons handled

    Season dates, hours, and closures stay current, so nobody drives up to a locked gate.

  • Guests come back

    Email sign up on every page builds the list you write to in the quiet months.

Three packages

Priced as products, not proposals

Each package is built from products on the pricing page, so you can check the math. The price is the same for a twelve cabin lodge as for a resort with a golf course.

Before you ask

Questions resorts and venues ask first

Will the website replace our booking engine?

No. We connect the booking engine you already pay for and style it to match the site. If you do not have one yet, we help you choose one.

Can couples see wedding prices online?

Yes. The estimator asks for the date, the guest count, and the package, then shows a range labeled as an estimate. You get the answers with the inquiry, and your coordinator still quotes in writing.

How do we get more guests to book direct?

Make your own site the easiest place to book: rates on the page, a book button on every screen, and a perk for booking direct that you choose. Then keep in touch by email, so next year they come straight to you.

We run a golf course and a restaurant too. Can one site handle all of it?

Yes. The Destination package connects two booking systems, such as rooms and tee times, and gives lodging, dining, events, and activities their own pages.

Which businesses do you build for?

Lake resorts, lodges, golf courses, ski hills, wedding venues, and tour operators across the Okanagan and Greater Vancouver. Okanagan businesses get in person sessions at no charge.

Twenty minutes, then a fixed price in writing.

Tell us about the property, the season you want to fill, and the system you book with now. The call ends with a written scope and a number. There is no charge for it.
