Context
- The client needed a premium website and booking system that matched the value of their high-end chalet offering.
- Standard plugins couldn't support their complex pricing, seasonal rules, and availability logic.
- The backend also required a clean admin workflow so staff could manage pricing without friction.
What I owned
- Engineered the full site experience, with custom backend architecture, PHP logic, and MySQL data models.
- Implemented advanced search and filtering across dates, budgets, resorts, and amenities.
- Engineered a custom pricing & availability engine with an admin interface that lets staff manage complex rules without technical knowledge.
- Developed an enquiry workflow that passes all required context, dates, pricing info, and chalet metadata directly into their inbox for quick follow-up.
- Handled infrastructure setup, caching, and performance optimisation for a fast, premium-feeling experience.
Outcomes
- Delivered a high-end booking UX aligned with the premium nature of the chalets.
- Enabled staff to manage complex pricing entirely through a clean, custom admin interface.
- Reduced manual work by ensuring enquiries arrive with all relevant data pre-structured for quick responses.
