Hotel & B&B Website Design · Skipton, Yorkshire & the UK
Hotel and B&B website design for more direct bookings.
I'm Steve. I design and build WordPress websites for hotels, B&Bs, and guest houses. Not a template with your logo slapped on. Strategy, design, build, launch, and ongoing care. All from one person who understands hospitality.
The Coach House: 0→1 from no website to direct bookings.
Why hotels need a different kind of website
Hotels and B&Bs have specific needs that generic web designers don't understand. You need a site that drives direct bookings, integrates with your property management system, and competes with the OTAs that are eating your margins. I build websites that do exactly that.
- ✓Direct booking integration that actually works
- ✓Designed to compete with Booking.com and Expedia listings
- ✓Room galleries and availability that look professional
- ✓Local SEO to capture 'hotels near me' searches
- ✓Mobile-first, because most guests book on their phone
- ✓Fast, secure, and built to handle peak season traffic

Success story
The Coach House, Skipton.
A Skipton institution that had no website at all. Every booking came through Booking.com and Expedia, each one taking a cut. We built a site that drives direct bookings weekly, cutting out the middleman and putting more money back in their pocket.
“We'd been relying on Booking.com for years — it worked, but the fees were killing us. Steve built us a proper website and now we get direct bookings every week. Guests find us on Google, book direct, and we keep more of the money. Should have done it years ago.”
Common questions
Hotel websites start at £2,000 due to the complexity of booking integration and room showcases. I quote every project once I understand what you need: number of rooms, booking system requirements, and whether you need PMS integration. You'll know the full price before I start.
Yes. I work with most major property management systems and booking engines. Whether you use Freetobook, eviivo, Little Hotelier, or something else, we can integrate it so guests can check availability and book direct.
That's the whole point. Your website should appear alongside OTA listings in search results, and when guests land on your site, they should find it easier to book direct than go back to Booking.com. Proper local SEO, a smooth booking flow, and clear 'book direct' benefits all help.
Most hotel builds take 4-6 weeks from our first call to launch. The variable is usually photography, content, and booking system setup, not the build itself. I'll give you an honest timeline up front.
Yes. I build on WordPress so you can update room rates, add seasonal offers, change photos, and manage content without calling me every time. You get a training video and a site you can actually run yourself.
I handle both. I register your domain in your name, so you own it. Hosting is fast, secure, and managed. Everything is yours to take with you if you ever want to leave. No lock-in, no hostage fees.
