Hotel Websites
Professional websites for accommodation businesses, with the booking engine built in. WordPress with VikBooking, or a custom site wired into the PMS you already use.
More direct bookings, no OTA commission
The OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia and the rest) take between 15% and 25% commission on every reservation. A professional website with a built-in booking engine lets you take direct bookings at no cost at all.
There are two routes: a WordPress site with VikBooking and VikChannelManager if you are starting from scratch, or a hand-coded custom site integrated with the booking system you already run (Booking Expert, Slope, Zak, 5stelle and others).

Hand-coded sites wired to your own PMS
Already running a PMS or channel manager? I build bespoke sites around the booking system you already have.
Integration with existing systems
If you already use a hotel management system such as Booking Expert, Slope, Zak by WuBook, 5stelle, Scidoo, Beddy or any other PMS, I can build a professional hand-coded site with your system's booking widget embedded in it.
That gives you a fast, SEO-ready, fully bespoke website while keeping the system your team already knows, with no data migration and nothing new to learn.
