Websites for hotels & B&Bs that win the direct booking.

Every booking that comes through an online travel agent costs you a chunk of the room rate in commission, often fifteen per cent or more. Guests use those sites to find you, then a good number will search your name to check you out and book direct if you make it easy. If your own website looks tired or has no clear way to book, you hand that booking, and its commission, straight back to the OTA. Page Forge builds hotels and B&Bs a website that shows the rooms and the setting and makes booking direct the obvious choice, so more of the room rate stays with you.

You run a property and greet guests, so the tech is our job, not yours. Tell us about your rooms, your rates, your setting and how you take bookings, and we design it, write it, handle the domain and host it. We build it light so it loads fast and looks right on a phone, because that is where most trip planning now happens, often late at night from the sofa. We write it so Google reads you as the place to stay in your area, and we set up your Google Business Profile so your photos, location and reviews show when someone searches for somewhere to stay near a beach, a wedding venue or a station.

We are based in Hassocks and work with independents across Sussex and beyond. A hotel or B&B is often more than one page: room-by-room detail, live availability, a booking engine, packages, dinner and policies all add up quickly. Where that is the case, we quote the bigger build per project rather than force it into the one-page price and leave guests short of the detail they need. A small B&B with a couple of rooms, though, can do very well with a single clear page that leads straight to a direct enquiry or booking button.
