Examples, not templates

Lodging website designs you can try live.

Three example sites, built the way I build client sites. Search dates, open the rooms, try it on your phone. Then tap Make it yours to try your own colors, fonts, name and photo. They show what works for speed, search and AI visibility. How your site looks is up to you.

  • Cedar Hollow Inn demo homepage with a waterfall photo, the headline "A quiet inn on Hollow Creek" and a date search

    Mountain inn or B&B

    Cedar Hollow Inn

    A five-room bed and breakfast in the Tennessee hills. Room pages, a "day at the inn" section, and things to do nearby.

    Why it's built this way

    • Dates go in on the homepage

      Guests pick dates and guests in the first screen and land on live availability in your booking system, already filled in. One less step than a plain Book button. How booking links carry dates

    • One photo, not a slider

      Heavy homepages load slowly on phones, and the lodging website studies keep finding them. One strong photo loads fast and still sells the place. What the lodging website studies found

    • A page for every room

      Each room has its own page with beds, sleeps, bathroom and pet policy, so guests can compare and search engines can match a room to a search. On-page SEO for direct booking sites

  • Cholla Springs RV Park demo homepage with a river canyon video, the headline "Room for big rigs under big skies" and a date search

    RV park with cabins

    Cholla Springs RV Park

    A West Texas RV park with six kinds of RV sites and three casitas. Shows how one site handles more than one kind of stay.

    Why it's built this way

    • "Will my rig fit?" filter

      RV guests filter by rig length, 30 or 50 amp, pull-through and full hookups, and only the sites that fit stay on screen. Guests get the answer without calling. Websites for campgrounds and RV parks

    • Mixed stays, one site

      RV sites and casitas each get their own pages and Book links, with a "choose your stay" section right under the hero.

    • Video that doesn't slow the page

      The short, silent hero clip starts only after the page has loaded, and it's skipped on slow connections and for people who turn off motion. A still photo shows first. Why speed matters to guests

  • Juniper Point Lake Homes demo homepage with a drone video of a tree-lined lake with boat docks, the headline "Your own place on the lake" and a search bar

    Vacation rental company

    Juniper Point Lake Homes

    Seven lake homes in the Texas Hill Country, from a cabin for two to a lodge for 14. A home finder, a lake map, local events and add-ons like boat delivery.

    Why it's built this way

    • Find the right home fast

      Guests filter by group size, bedrooms, pets, lakefront and hot tub, then see where each home sits on a drawn lake map. No map service, so it loads instantly and never shows an exact address. Websites for vacation rentals

    • Events that fill the calendar

      Fireworks, a boat parade and sandbar days, each with its next date and a link that opens booking for the nights around it. Event schema helps them show up in searches like "4th of July lake rental." Schema markup for small properties

    • Sell the whole trip

      Boat delivered to the dock, ski lessons, a stocked fridge. Add-ons from local partners turn a booking into a trip, with a plain line about who runs them.

Questions

Are these templates?

No. They’re examples of how I build, so you can see and try the result before we talk. Your site gets its own look, layout and pages. If you like one of these as a starting point, that works too.

Will my site look like one of these?

Only if you want it to. Colors, fonts, layout, sections and photos all change to fit your place. If you already have a logo and brand colors, the site is built around them.

What stays the same from site to site?

The parts guests and Google never see: speed on phones, a Book button that goes straight to your booking system, lodging schema markup, an llms.txt file and accessible menus and forms.

Do these work with my booking software?

The date search and Book buttons work with any booking system that has its own booking page. Some systems also take dates and guests in the link, so guests land on live availability. See how your booking software works with a website.

Are these real places?

No. Cedar Hollow Inn, Cholla Springs RV Park and Juniper Point Lake Homes are made up, and so are their local partners and events. Booking on them goes to a demo page. The photos and drone videos are mine.

What does a site like this cost?

Prices are on the direct booking website page. Every project gets a written quote first.
