The Challenge
An Doras Bui needed a website that could showcase the beauty of their boutique accommodation while reducing dependence on third-party platforms. They required a reliable direct booking system that synced with Airbnb in real time, alongside a scalable eCommerce foundation for future offerings. The design also had to capture the character of their coastal location and perform well in search rankings.
The Solution
We developed a bespoke WordPress and WooCommerce website featuring a fully integrated iCal booking system for live calendar syncing with Airbnb. The new site combines a clean, modern design with responsive functionality and strong SEO foundations. This solution empowers the client to manage bookings directly and attract guests through an improved online presence.
The Results
- Real-time Airbnb calendar integration via iCal
- Increased direct bookings through the new website
- SEO-optimised structure improving online visibility
- Scalable eCommerce-ready platform for future expansion
Thinking About a Website for Your Glamping or Hospitality Business?
Can you help if I have never built a website before?
Yes. For An Doras Bui, the client had no previous experience with setting up a website, buying a domain name, choosing the right platform or understanding how payments would work online. We guided her through each step in plain English, from the domain setup to the website structure, booking system, payment gateway and launch process.
Can you help with domain name setup?
Yes. If you do not already have a domain name, we can guide you through the process of choosing, registering and connecting it to your website. For An Doras Bui, this was part of the early setup process, helping the client understand what the domain was, how it worked and how it connected to the finished website.
Can you create a simple logo if I do not have one?
Yes. An Doras Bui did not have a logo at the start of the project, so we created a simple logo that could be used across the website and brand materials. This gave the site a clearer visual identity without making the early-stage branding process overly complicated.
Can you explain payment gateways and help set them up?
Yes. Online payments can feel confusing if you have not used them before, so we explain how payment gateways work and what is needed to take payments through the website. For An Doras Bui, this was important because one of the main goals was to process payments directly without relying fully on outside agencies.
Can the website sync bookings with Airbnb and other platforms?
Yes. For An Doras Bui, the website was synced with Airbnb and also set up with the ability to connect with additional OTAs if needed. This means bookings can stay aligned across different platforms, reducing the risk of double bookings and giving the client more flexibility as the business grows.
Can the website sync with specialist booking platforms?
Yes. Alongside Airbnb, the An Doras Bui website was also synced with Glamping in Ireland, helping keep bookings connected across key platforms. This was important because the client needed a direct booking website while still keeping external listing platforms in sync.
Why is a blog useful for a glamping or hospitality website?
Can the website help guests discover things to do nearby?
Yes. A good hospitality website should sell more than the room or accommodation. It should help visitors imagine the full experience. For An Doras Bui, content around the Sperrins and nearby places to visit helps guests understand the destination, plan their trip and feel more confident booking.
Do you provide support after the website goes live?
Yes. Support does not stop once the website is launched. We continue to provide advice when needed, whether that is helping the client understand part of the website, answering questions, or offering guidance as the business grows and new ideas come up.
