Hotel Website Design · From $12,000 · three ways to buy, fixed price agreed up front
Hotel website design that earns the booking
Twenty years designing hotel websites: Marriott, Hard Rock, Loews, Edition, Savoy among them. Now for independent properties and small groups: a site that carries your brand, sells the stay, and hands guests to your booking engine without losing them on the way. Designed and built by the same person, at a published price.
Or book a 20-minute call first. No pitch, just fit.
01
Designer and developer, one person
No handoff between a design agency and a dev shop. You review real pages, not mockups, and the person who designed the booking flow is the one who wired it.
02
The booking engine is design, not plumbing
SynXis, OPERA, Cloudbeds, Mews, or direct: the handoff is designed so it does not leak bookings, then connected. Most hotel sites lose the guest exactly there.
03
Published, fixed prices
Rare in this market. Three tiers, each a fixed number agreed before we start, with modern code you own and no monthly platform tax.
Receipts
Hotel websites I have designed.
Real properties, real launches. Each one opens the full case study.
What ships
A site that sells the stay.
Every tier ships the same fundamentals. The difference is how much is designed from the property up, and how many properties it has to carry.
Design
- Brand and photography direction. The story the property tells, agreed before pixels.
- Every page and every state. Rooms, offers, gallery, events, weddings, amenities, contact, and the ones OTAs cannot give you.
- The booking flow. Designed as part of the site, so the handoff to the engine does not lose the guest.
- Copy structure. Sells the stay, not the amenities list.
Build and launch
- Modern code you own. Next.js, fast and indexable, no platform lock-in, no monthly platform tax.
- Booking engine wired. SynXis, OPERA Web Self-Service, Cloudbeds, Mews, or direct OTA feeds.
- SEO fundamentals done. Clean structure, schema, fast pages, and analytics at launch.
- Accessible and multilingual-ready. WCAG AA contrast and keyboard paths as standard; a second language added as a build option.
- Photography. Directed by me and shot by a partner photographer at cost when the property needs new images.
- Launch support. The first weeks after go-live with me on the other end, then the Website Care Plan if you want it kept that way.
Pricing
Three ways to buy it.
Every number is fixed and agreed before we start. Custom work is quoted from a short call; the range is what it usually lands in. After launch, the Website Care Plan at $1,500/mo keeps the site hosted, edited, and monitored by the person who built it.
Aurelia template
$12,000
Your brand on the Aurelia template. Live in about three weeks.
- Eight pages: home, rooms, offers, gallery, events, weddings, amenities, contact
- Your palette, type, photography, and copy structure applied
- Booking engine wired
- Analytics, schema, and SEO fundamentals at launch
- Modern code you own, no platform fee
Custom design
From $30,000
Designed from the property up. Typically $30,000 to $45,000, quoted before it starts. Six to ten weeks.
- Brand and photography direction, then a site designed around them
- Every page and state designed and coded by the same person
- Booking flow designed, not just connected
- Launch support, analytics, SEO fundamentals, and the pages OTAs cannot give you
Multi-property platform
From $75,000
For groups: one system, every property. Scoped on a call.
- A design system shared across the portfolio
- Per-property pages that feel local, not templated
- Central booking and offers, group-wide analytics
- A roadmap for the properties that come next
How it runs
From audit to launch, on a fixed timeline.
01
Week 0
Audit
Your current site, booking flow, and where guests drop. Run the free Hotel Website Grader first if you want a head start.
02
Week 1
Direction
Brand, structure, and the story the property tells, agreed before pixels. The tier and the fixed number are locked here.
03
Weeks 2 to 8
Design and build
Designed and coded in parallel by the same person. You review real pages, not mockups. About three weeks on Aurelia, six to ten for custom.
04
Launch
Live, with support
Booking engine wired, analytics in, SEO fundamentals done. You own the code, and I stay on for the first weeks.
Fit check
Built for some, not everyone.
This is for you if
- 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 built for
- Properties happy with their booking platform's stock template
- Projects that need a committee, not a site
Hospitality first, for twenty years

Most hotel websites come from either a booking-platform template that cannot do brand, or a traditional agency that hides its pricing and takes six months. I 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.
The Aurelia demo is live on this site, so you can judge the template tier before you write to me.

The fine print
Questions, answered.
With me: $12,000 for a build on Aurelia (my hotel template), from $30,000 for custom design (most land between $30,000 and $45,000), and from $75,000 for a multi-property platform. Traditional hospitality agencies charge $30,000 to $100,000 and up and rarely publish prices; platform builders are cheap but cannot 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.
The Aurelia build ships in about three weeks. Custom projects run six to ten weeks with a fixed timeline agreed up front, no six-month agency drift.
The first weeks after go-live are included. After that, the Website Care Plan at $1,500/mo keeps the site hosted, edited, updated, and monitored by the person who built it, with a quarterly conversion review; Conversion Optimization at From $2,500/mo runs tests on the booking path. Both are month to month.
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.
