Current Projects

3. SEO Optimization and Performance Enhancement
- Optimize site architecture, content structure, and page load speeds to improve SEO performance and search rankings, with a focus on boosting online visibility in the hospitality industry.
- Conduct routine assessments and updates on SEO practices to maintain competitive site performance.
4. Payment and Email Integration
- Integrate Stripe for secure payment processing directly on the website, providing a smooth checkout experience for booking-related transactions.
- Develop and manage email marketing integrations with Mailchimp, ensuring automated and targeted communication with prospective and returning guests.
5. New Web Development Projects and Tool Integrations
