Hotel and resort website design that sends bookings direct, not through an OTA
Short answer: We design hotel and resort websites that show each room type with real photos, rates and inclusions, and take reservations on WhatsApp or through online payment. Plans cost ₹8,000, ₹12,000 with an admin panel or ₹16,000 with online payments to your bank. The first year of hosting, domain and maintenance is free, then ₹4,000 a year.
Every booking that arrives through an online travel agency costs you between fifteen and twenty five percent in commission. A hotel website earns its build cost the moment it starts taking direct bookings instead, and the guests who book direct are usually the ones who spend more once they arrive.
We build hotel and resort sites around that single goal: show the rooms honestly, make the direct rate obviously worth taking, and make enquiring take one tap on a phone. It is the same direct enquiry thinking behind our website design for travel agencies, pointed at rooms instead of packages.
What a hotel website has to do that an OTA listing cannot
You will never beat a booking platform on reach, and you should not try. What you can beat it on is honesty, detail and the direct rate, because the platform will never show a guest your actual property the way you would. Everything below is built around that gap. Properties that also run tours should look at the tour operator website page as well.
Room pages with the detail the platforms cut
Real photos of each room type, actual size, bed configuration, what the view is, what is included and what is not. A guest choosing between two similar properties picks the one that answered more questions before they had to ask.
A direct rate worth the extra tap
Say plainly what booking direct gets them, whether that is a lower rate, a free upgrade, late checkout or breakfast included. Without a stated reason a guest defaults back to the platform they already have an account on.
Reservations on WhatsApp, answered fast
Indian guests overwhelmingly prefer to ask a question before they pay. A prefilled WhatsApp button on every room page brings the enquiry to you already carrying the room type and dates, and speed of reply becomes your advantage.
Business sites we have shipped
Every link below is a live build you can walk through rather than judge from a screenshot. These are client businesses on their own domains, so you can see the build quality and speed we deliver. More sits in the portfolio.
What is included in a hotel or resort site
- One page per room or villa type with real photos and full detail
- Gallery split by rooms, property, dining and surroundings
- Amenities, house rules, check in times and cancellation policy
- Direct booking enquiry with dates, room type and guest count
- Prefilled WhatsApp reservation button on every room page
- Location page with map, distances and how to reach
- Offers and seasonal packages section you can update
- Hotel structured data so Google can show the property properly
Basic at ₹8,000 builds up to five pages on your brand, and properties that change rates and photos often usually want Premium at ₹12,000 for the admin panel. Professional at ₹16,000 adds online payments straight to your bank and bookings around the clock. Full detail on the pricing page. As a website designer in Ahmedabad we work with properties across India over WhatsApp and video calls, so you never need to visit us.
If you want to change rates and offers yourself through the season, ask for the admin panel option. You log in, edit a room, update a rate or publish an offer, and the site changes without a call to us.
One honest note on payments. Full online booking with live inventory is a large project and for most independent Indian properties it does not pay for itself, because guests want to talk before they pay anyway. Taking a booking amount online while confirming the rest on WhatsApp gets you most of the benefit at a fraction of the cost.
Questions we get asked before every project
- Will a website really reduce our OTA commission?
- It reduces it for the guests who were going to come back or who found you by name, and those are a bigger share than most owners expect. It will not replace the discovery reach of a booking platform, and anybody who tells you it will is selling something. The realistic goal is to stop paying commission on repeat and direct search guests, which for a small property is often several bookings a month.
- What does a website actually cost?
- Basic is ₹8,000: up to five pages, WhatsApp, call and Instagram buttons, an enquiry form that lands on WhatsApp, Google Maps and SSL. Premium is ₹12,000 and adds your own admin panel to edit packages, prices and photos, an enquiries dashboard and basic SEO setup. Professional is ₹16,000 and adds online payments straight to your bank, bookings around the clock, a reviews section and Google Business and Analytics. The first year of hosting, domain and maintenance is free, then ₹4,000 a year. Anything larger is quoted in writing.
- Can we take payments online?
- Yes, usually as a booking amount rather than the full stay, through a standard Indian payment gateway. That fits how Indian guests actually book, and it avoids the cost and complexity of a full inventory system. If you genuinely need live availability across room types we will scope it, and we will also tell you if we think it is not worth the money for your property size.
- Who writes the room descriptions and takes the photos?
- We write the copy from a short WhatsApp conversation about the property, and you approve it. Photos have to come from you, and they matter more than the design. Phone photos in good daylight beat old professional photos of a room you have since renovated. If your photos are weak we will say so, because it is the one thing that will hold the site back.
- Do I need to buy the domain and hosting separately?
- No. Every plan includes the first year of hosting, domain and maintenance free, with the domain in your own name so you own it. From the second year it is ₹4,000 a year for all three together. We set everything up with you and hand over the logins. We never hold your domain hostage.
- How long does it take?
- Three to five days for a reskin of our hotel layout once your photos and rates arrive. Seven to ten working days for a four to five page original build. Twelve to fifteen for a larger site with several room types, offers and a blog.
