The client, owner of the "Zapolitsa" hotel complex, approached us with the task of creating a website featuring an online booking system for rooms and additional services. The key requirement was not only to allow users to book rooms by check-in dates and the number of guests but also to provide the administrator with an easy way to track bookings through an admin panel. It was crucial that the system prevent double bookings—once a room is booked, it cannot be selected for the same dates again. Additionally, the client wanted to receive booking notifications via SMS and email.
Project Goals
The primary goal of the project was to launch a convenient and functional website for the "Zapolitsa" hotel complex. This would automate the booking process, simplify the administrator's workflow, and provide an easy-to-use interface for tracking guest arrivals. An additional goal was to create a solid foundation for launching a future marketing campaign aimed at attracting more customers.
Design and Development
We focused on creating a unique design tailored to the client's preferences. The UX/UI design aimed to be simple and concise, ensuring that users could quickly understand how to use the booking system. One of the key challenges was to develop an intuitive interface that wasn’t overloaded with unnecessary elements.
For the administrators, a custom booking panel was developed, allowing them to view and manage the calendar of bookings. This interface made it easy to track current and future bookings and confirm reservations, preventing overbooking.
Development Process
The development of the website, including the booking system, took about one and a half months. One of the main challenges was configuring the booking logic, as the hotel featured different types of rooms and services, which required a more flexible approach. We enhanced the standard booking system to accommodate multiple parameters, such as check-in dates, number of guests, and the ability to book additional services.
In addition to user functionality, we implemented a notification system for the administrators, allowing them to receive new booking alerts via SMS and email.
Results
As a result, the client received a fully operational website with its own booking system and an admin panel for tracking guest check-ins. The site is mobile-friendly, enabling users to book rooms from any device. All business processes related to booking and managing reservations were optimized and automated. Administrators can now efficiently manage bookings, and customers can easily reserve rooms through the website.
Conclusion
The development of the website with a booking system for the "Zapolitsa" hotel complex was a successful project, combining user convenience and functionality for administrators. With a custom design, flexible booking system, and seamless admin panel integration, the client received a high-quality product that simplified hotel management and increased operational efficiency.
