Hotel website design that earns the booking
I've spent 20 years designing hotel websites — Marriott, Hard Rock, Loews, Edition, Savoy among them. Now I do it for independent properties: a site that carries your brand, sells the stay, and hands guests to your booking engine without losing them on the way.
From $9,000
Template-based build (Aurelia) from $9,000 · fully custom design from $25,000. Fixed price, agreed up front.
What you get
- A hotel website designed and built by one senior person — no handoff between a design agency and a dev shop
- Booking-engine integration treated as design, not plumbing — SynXis, OPERA, Cloudbeds, Mews, or direct
- Brand, photography direction, and copy structure that sell the property, not a template with your logo on it
- Fast, indexable, and yours — modern code (Next.js), no platform lock-in, no monthly platform tax
- Launch support: analytics, SEO fundamentals, and the pages OTAs can't give you
Why this, from me
Most hotel websites come from either a booking-platform template that can't do brand, or a traditional agency that hides its pricing and takes six months. I've designed for the brands guests already trust — and I publish my pricing. You talk to the person who designs and builds it, start to finish.
- 20 years of hospitality web design — Marriott, Hard Rock, Loews, Edition
- 90+ industry awards, incl. 9 Adrian Golds and a Best of Show MobileWebAward
- Transparent fixed pricing — rare in this market
- Designer and developer are the same person
Hotel websites I've designed
Real properties, real launches — each one opens the full case study.
How it runs

02
Direction
Brand, structure, and the story the property tells — agreed before pixels.

Design + build
Designed and coded in parallel by the same person. You review real pages, not mockups.

Launch
Booking engine wired, analytics in, SEO fundamentals done. You own the code.
Who it's for
A fit
- Independent hotels and boutique properties that outgrew their template
- New properties launching a direct-booking site
- Groups tired of paying platform fees for a site that doesn't feel like their brand
Not a fit
- Properties happy with their booking platform's stock template
- Projects that need a committee, not a site

Questions
With me: from $9,000 for a template-based build on Aurelia (my hotel template), from $25,000 for fully custom design. Traditional hospitality agencies charge $30,000–$100,000+ and rarely publish prices; platform builders are cheap but can't do brand. Fixed price, agreed before we start.
Yes — SynXis (Sabre), OPERA Web Self-Service, Cloudbeds, Mews, and direct OTA feeds. The booking engine is a connection problem, not a design problem; I design the surrounding experience so the handoff doesn't leak bookings.
A template-based build ships in weeks, not months. Custom projects are scoped up front with a fixed timeline — no six-month agency drift.
The site ships with SEO fundamentals done — fast pages, clean structure, schema — and the content pages OTAs can't give you. Direct booking only wins if guests can find you and the site sells the stay.
