The Business Challenge & Our Solution
The Starting Point
Before working with us, the client had experimented with website builders, WordPress templates, and third-party booking platforms. While these solutions provided a basic online presence, they did not fully support the booking experience the client wanted to offer.
The Challenge
The client relied heavily on third-party booking providers and paid commission fees on every reservation. The existing website was based on a generic template and lacked the flexibility needed to support package bookings, pricing management, and availability controls.
Our Analysis

The Result
The completed platform now serves as an additional direct booking channel for Hej Hus. Travelers can explore the property, request reservations, and inquire about travel packages directly through the website. The client benefits from greater control over bookings, lower commission costs, and a reservation system that continues to generate direct inquiries alongside third-party booking channels.
