About This Project
This build shows how far WordPress development can go beyond brochureware. For a hospitality group we delivered a fully custom theme, a WooCommerce Bookings engine handling room availability and seasonal pricing, 360° property tours, and a complete multilingual content structure. Non-technical staff run it day to day: rooms, rates, packages, and translations are all managed from the WordPress admin.
The Engineering Problem
Hospitality sites need e-commerce-grade booking mechanics inside a content platform, presented with a visual polish that page builders don't produce out of the box. Everything also has to work identically across eight languages.
- •Room availability, seasonal rates, and package rules exceed stock booking plugins' defaults
- •360° tours must load fast and work on mobile without plugins or app installs
- •Every template, string, and booking email needs translation-safe structure
- •Heavy imagery and builder output threaten load performance on hotel-guest networks
- •Site management must stay in the admin, with no developer needed for rates or content changes
Technical Approach
We built a custom theme over a structured ACF content model and extended WooCommerce Bookings to handle hospitality pricing rules. The eight-language structure was part of the architecture from the start.
- Developed a custom theme with Elementor widgets built for the property's design system
- Extended WooCommerce Bookings with seasonal pricing, minimum-stay, and package rules
- Built a lightweight 360° tour viewer with lazy-loaded panoramas and hotspot navigation
- Structured all content through ACF field groups registered for WPML translation
- Layered caching, image optimization, and a CDN for fast loads on all eight language versions
