Koen Wensing, web designer for accommodations
Do you run your own retreats and sell places to individual guests? I make it easier to book through your own website and stay in touch with past participants.
Booking platforms usually display dates, prices and a reservation button together. Your own website should be just as clear. If the programme is hidden in a PDF or booking is difficult, an interested guest may return to a platform. A clear retreat page makes direct reservations easier.
We build the foundations first, then use a clear process for each retreat.
Send a link to your website and your next retreat. I show you what the retreat page could look like and review five practical points:
How guests currently book on your site and on the booking platform
What guests find when they search for your retreat centre by name
Reviews on the marketplace, and reviews on your own site
How you keep in touch with past guests
Your current platform cost per reservation
We discuss the proposal, then you decide whether to go ahead.
I'm Koen Wensing. I build websites for holiday accommodations, from B&Bs to group accommodation, and I work by email with owners across Europe and the Caribbean. One contact person from the first example to go-live. Email me at Koen@koenwensing.com.
No. You can keep using them to reach new guests. Your own website gives people another way to find out more and book directly.
No.
After reviewing your website, I send a proposal with a clear price for the agreed work. I do not charge commission or guarantee bookings.
Your existing tool is the starting point. I review whether the retreat page can connect to it and explain any changes needed.
A few days after your email.
