Striped Horse

Hotel Website Design and Development Solutions

Every night a guest books through an OTA instead of your website, you pay a commission that should have stayed in your pocket. The fix is not just a better booking engine. It is a website that makes your property feel so compelling, so trustworthy, and so distinctly yours that guests want to book direct.
Striped Horse handles brand, design, development, and marketing under one roof so your hotel's digital presence works as hard as your team does.

What We Do for Hotels and Hospitality Brands

Most hotel websites were built to look presentable, not to drive direct bookings. The photography is generic, the brand feels borrowed from a template, and the booking flow sends guests straight to an OTA. In an industry where every direct booking saves you 15 to 25 percent in commission, your website is your most important revenue tool. Striped Horse builds hotel websites that make guests want to book with you directly, by making your property feel extraordinary before they ever check in.

Hotel Branding

Your brand is what makes a guest choose your boutique hotel over the chain down the street. We build hotel brands that communicate the personality, atmosphere, and experience of your property at a glance - visual identity, messaging, photography direction, and brand guidelines built for hotels and hospitality brands that want to be remembered, not just booked.

Hotel Web Design

We design hotel websites that make properties look stunning, feel trustworthy, and convert visitors into direct bookings. Immersive visual layouts, intuitive room browsing experiences, and booking flows designed to keep guests on your site rather than sending them to Booking.com or Expedia.

Hotel Website Development

Built on WordPress, Webflow, or the platform that fits your property. We handle booking engine integrations, availability calendar connections, CMS setup, and any custom functionality your hotel needs, with clean code your team can manage without a developer.

UI/UX Design

Guests make booking decisions based on how your website feels, not just how it looks. We design user experiences that build desire at every scroll, answer the questions guests have before they ask them, and make the path from browsing to booking as frictionless as possible.

Digital Marketing

Getting found by the right guests requires more than a beautiful website. Our digital marketing team builds SEO strategies, Google Ads campaigns, and content marketing programs built around how travelers actually search, compare, and choose where to stay.

Brands we've built for

Brand and Website Built Together

Your hotel's brand and website should feel like the same place. We design both together so the visual identity, the photography direction, the messaging, and the site experience all tell one consistent story from the first Google search to the booking confirmation.

We Understand How Travelers Book

Guests do not book the cheapest option. They book the property that made them feel something. We design hotel websites around the emotional and practical journey a traveler goes through before committing to a stay, putting the right content in the right place to build desire and trust at every stage.

Built to Drive Direct Bookings

Every design decision we make is aimed at keeping guests on your site and booking directly. Clear booking flows, compelling room presentations, and trust signals that reduce hesitation at the exact moment a guest is closest to converting.

Built for Independent and Boutique Properties

Independent hotels and boutique properties cannot compete with chains on loyalty points or marketing budgets. They win on character, atmosphere, and experience. We build websites that make those qualities shine through so the right guests find you and choose you.

Multi-Platform Expertise

Fluent across WordPress, Webflow, Drupal, and more. We recommend the platform that fits how your team manages content and how your property scales, not what is easiest for us to build on.

We Stay After Launch

We stick around after go-live with ongoing support for seasonal updates, new room pages, special offers, and anything else your property needs throughout the year.

Why Hotels and Hospitality Brands Choose Striped Horse

Our Hotel Web Design and Development Process

01.
Discovery and Strategy
We start by learning your property, your guests, and your goals. That means understanding your positioning, your competitive set, what makes your hotel the right choice for the right traveler, and what your website needs to do to drive more direct bookings. This stage sets the foundation for everything that follows.
02.
Design and Prototyping
We build wireframes and visual mockups before a single line of code is written. For hotels that means designing around your photography, your brand personality, and the experience you want guests to feel before they ever arrive. You review and approve at every stage so there are no surprises.
03.
Development and QA
Your site is built on the platform that fits your property. We handle booking engine integrations, availability calendar connections, room gallery setups, and any other functionality your hotel needs. We test thoroughly across devices and browsers before anything goes live, with particular attention to mobile since most travelers research and book on their phones.
04.
Launch
Once everything passes QA and you give the green light, we handle the full launch. Clean handoff, zero downtime, and everything configured correctly from day one so your site starts driving direct bookings immediately.
05.
Ongoing Support
We stay on after launch for seasonal updates, new room pages, special offer banners, and anything else your property needs throughout the year. Your website stays current so it always reflects the best version of your hotel.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"They're great in every category, and not only the work they do is great, but they are very accommodating and communicative. I was very fortunate to have Danielle leading the web development team-- it was no easy task to take over a year-long project along with a bunch of new devs to work with into a working product in less than two months' time. One of the challenging project-wise for our university website project and she got the team doing good work and managed to get where we need to be. I will continue to work with her!"
