A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Something else on your mind?
Just ask Josh.
How much does a hospitality website cost?
It depends on the size of the site, the content you need and the booking or business systems it connects to. After an initial conversation, you’ll receive a clear proposal with scope, cost and any ongoing or third-party charges identified. There’s no obligation to go ahead.
How long does a new website take?
We’ll agree a realistic timeline once the scope, content and integrations are understood. If you have an opening date, campaign or seasonal deadline, mention it when you get in touch so we can plan around it.
Can you work with our existing booking system?
Usually, a website can link to or embed your existing booking or reservation system. Deeper integrations depend on the provider’s API and access. We’ll check what your system supports before agreeing the work.
Do you build the websites in WordPress?
WordPress is the main platform, with editing set up around the content your team needs to manage. If your project needs a different approach, we’ll discuss that at the start and explain the options.
Will our new site be optimised for SEO?
Technical and on-page SEO are part of the planning: useful page structure, titles, descriptions, crawlable content, relevant structured data and performance. For rebuilds, we also plan redirects. Ongoing content, local SEO and competitive search campaigns can be scoped separately; rankings cannot be guaranteed.
Can our team update menus, offers and room information?
Yes. The editing experience is built around your day-to-day content, with a handover so your team can make routine updates. More complex changes and ongoing maintenance can be covered by a separate support arrangement.
Do we need to use AIVA?
No. The studio works with hospitality businesses whether or not they use AIVA. If you do use it, we can explore how your website and AIVA’s guest communication tools work together.
Can you improve an existing website?
Yes. If a full rebuild isn’t needed, we can discuss focused development, a performance audit or improvements to important booking and enquiry pages. The right starting point depends on your site and your goals.
