Problem introduction

Our client is one of the most successful providers of corporate serviced accommodation located in the major urban area in South Cumbria, northwestern England. When they reached us for the first time, they already had an old website with an outdated design and a lack of functionality. They needed an upgraded website with an aesthetic, captivating, and user-friendly design that met market requirements. It also had to have a built-in accommodation booking system, which allowed users to book apartments online and, thus, streamlined the leasing process.

Main goals

Explore the market and its trends
Develop a functional design that meets both current market tendencies and the main goals of the customer
Provide positive and relevant users’ interactions with the website
Implement an ordered catalog of apartments for rent
Enable users and a service provider to manage all their activities in one place
Integrate booking system

Tech Challenges

Working on this project did not cause many difficulties for our team due to our rich experience in similar product development. Our skilled developers quickly and professionally integrated a third-party product, the Staah accommodation booking system, and implemented an expanded apartment catalog. We are proud that the customer received a completely updated and functioning website within a month.

Core Functionality

Extensive catalogue of housing for rent
The clear and easy navigation system
Integration with booking system Staah
Opportunity to familiarize users with the visual material in the Gallery
Embedded blog to increase organic traffic, reach new customers and expand a brand
The ability for the client to change and fill the site with content without outside help

Solution

Our team has developed a modern, sophisticated website for rental accommodation that meets all the market requirements. We have fully developed the design and proposed a functional stack best suited to achieve the goals. The digital product is perfect for anyone traveling for business and offers a wide range of apartments.

The platform has user-friendly navigation, well-organized property listings supported by high-quality photos, and a separate block with reviews where users can find unbiased testimonials of previous visitors. It also provides users with a built-in booking system and a blog section to improve interaction.
