I design websites for boutique hotels and eco-resorts in Perak and the states around it. One design, made for your property and used on nobody else's, with your booking engine built into it — so a guest goes from the photograph to a confirmed night without ever leaving your name.
Four situations, not four industries. If two or more of these are yours, we should talk.
Agoda and Booking.com found you guests you could not have reached, and they will keep doing it. But the guest who already knows your name and books through them anyway is the expensive one, and that is the booking a good site takes back.
Somebody spent real money on those rooms and real money photographing them. Then the pictures got cropped into a listing thumbnail next to forty other properties. The site is where they get to be the size they deserve.
Is breakfast included, do you have a family room, can we bring a dog, how far is the jetty. Every one of those is an answer that should already be on the page, and every one of them is a booking slowed down.
Template sites make a heritage shophouse in Ipoh and a rainforest chalet in Belum look like the same business. The whole reason somebody pays your rate instead of a chain rate is that you are not the same business.
This is the part most designers leave until you ask, so here it is plainly. Which of the three you are decides what we build.
Most properties do — Cloudbeds, Little Hotelier, Beds24, SiteMinder, whatever is on your invoice. I build it into the design instead of hanging it off the side, so the guest never feels handed to another company halfway through. Nothing about how you run the property changes.
Then the enquiry form does the work. It takes the dates, the number of guests and the room, writes the message and opens WhatsApp with it ready to send. That is how these bookings already happen at your size. The site just stops them getting lost.
That is its own piece of work and its own quote. I set up and configure a proven engine rather than writing one from scratch, deliberately — your rooms are real, and a double booking is a real guest standing in your lobby.
Not a hotel — I will not pretend otherwise. It is a real seven-page site for a real Perak business, built and handed over, and it is the closest thing I have to show you until the first property says yes. Judge the craft on it, not the category.
Heritage ceramics, workshops and cultural programming
A business doing two completely different things at once — selling ceramic painting sets to families, and running heritage programmes with government agencies. Those two audiences want nothing alike, and everything the business had was pointed at neither. The craft itself is the thing worth seeing, and none of it was visible.
Seven pages that make a small Perak craft business look like what it actually is — one with a fifteen-event track record and named government partners — without claiming a single thing it can't back up.
One decision from you, made by looking rather than by reading a description. This step is the whole reason the result is your property's and not a template with your logo on it.
Three genuinely different directions — not three colours of one layout. Real pages you open on your phone, with your name, your rooms and your rates on them.
One. Not a committee, and not a compromise between all three. Then one round of changes to the one you chose.
Plus two more rounds of changes. And you get the design system written down — your colours, type and spacing as a document you keep.
I'd rather be clear now than awkward later.
Deliberate, and it protects you. Availability and payments are where these things go wrong, and a double booking is a real guest with nowhere to sleep. I integrate an engine that thousands of properties already run, or I set one up for you as a separate piece of work.
Keeping your rates and availability in step across Agoda, Booking.com and your own site is what a channel manager does, and your engine is where that lives. I build the site around it.
Deliberate too. You send me changes and I make them, and that's covered by the monthly fee. New season rates, new photographs, a new room. It keeps your site fast and keeps you off a software subscription.
That's the other product, for shops. This one is ten working days, and the clock starts when your photographs and details arrive — not when you pay.
Every property is a different size, so every one gets its own quote. This is where it starts.
RM3,500
Half to start, half when it goes live.
RM150/mo
Hosting, the security certificate, your domain name, daily backups, uptime monitoring — and changes when you need them. New season rates, new photographs, a room coming back online after a refit. Send a WhatsApp and I do it.
An agency quoting this same work will tell you six to eight weeks. They're being honest when they say it — they just aren't working the way I am.
Scoped and quoted with the project rather than picked off a list, because what each property needs here is genuinely different.
Choosing the right engine for your size, configuring your rooms, rates and seasons in it, and building it into the site. For a property still taking bookings in a notebook or a WhatsApp group.
A chat that handles the twenty questions your guests ask every day, and a follow-up after they check out. I am building this now and it is not running on anybody's site yet, so I would rather tell you that than sell it to you. Ask me where it has got to.
None of these have a price on this page on purpose. Ask on the call and you get a real number for your property, not a menu price.
That's the whole first conversation. Twenty minutes, and I'll tell you straight whether this is worth it for you — or whether you'd do better spending the money on a photographer first and calling me after.
