Platform commission is your largest cost line
A room night sold through a booking platform costs you 15 to 25 % in commission. On a property turning over €400,000, that is €60,000 to €100,000 leaving every year. A site that captures even a quarter of bookings directly pays for itself within months.
What we build for a hotel or a restaurant
Channel manager and PMS connection
so calendars never drift apart
Deposit or card imprint
which cuts no-shows sharply
Direct-only offers
platforms are not allowed to display: upgrade, breakfast included, late checkout
Menus you edit yourself
including the daily menu
Genuine multilingual
one URL per language — decisive with international guests
Local search decides a large share of revenue
A traveller looking for a hotel on the French Riviera goes through Google before coming to you. We declare business structured data, opening hours, area and from-prices, and we make the Google listing consistent with the site. We also track phone-number clicks as a conversion: in hospitality most bookings still arrive by call, and without that measurement a campaign looks like it returns nothing.
Budget and timeline
From €9,000 and six weeks for a site with direct booking. A multilingual property connected to a channel manager starts at €16,000.

Why us
What sets us apart
Four commitments that hold over time, not four slogans.
100% code, zero proprietary platform
No WordPress, no Shopify, no page builder. Your product is written in TypeScript, documented and version-controlled — the repository is yours from day one, and you are locked in to nobody.
Products, not brochures
User accounts, recurring subscriptions, messaging, gated access, payments: we have shipped five platforms running with real paying customers behind them.
Regulated sectors
Insurance broking, accountancy firms, real estate, financial recruitment. We know the data confidentiality, role-based access and domain constraints these professions carry.
Multilingual by default
FR · EN · ES. Internationalisation is built into the architecture, not bolted on as a plugin six months later — essential in Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can the site connect to our channel manager?
Yes, as soon as it exposes an API or exchange format — the main ones do. Availability and rates stay driven from the tool your teams already know, and the site synchronises with it. Without that connection two calendars always drift apart, and one overbooking costs more than the integration.
Can we show offers reserved for the direct channel?
Yes, and that is the whole point. Platform rate-parity clauses cover the room price, not what you add to it: breakfast included, upgrade, late checkout, loyalty benefit. Those offers can only exist on your direct channel, and they are what tips a comparing customer.
