Where it started
Riad Villa Elizabeth entrusted us with its launch while the villa was still awaiting its first reservation.
The starting point
It was a sixteen-room villa a few minutes from Mohammed V airport, and no traveller could find it yet.
Our approach
Its guests would mostly be passing through Casablanca, landing late and booking from abroad on the platforms they already trust. So that’s where we started. Before building anything, we looked at how those travellers search, which places near the airport they were choosing, and why. The plan came out of that study, and we followed it one step at a time.
Today
Today the riad is listed on more than ten booking channels and takes reservations on its own site too. We haven’t stepped away. We still manage the rates and keep every listing up to date, because that part of the job never really ends.
The project, piece by piece
The website
A site built from scratch in English and French, every page mirrored across both languages, and marked up so search engines read it as a hotel: the rooms, the location, and the questions guests ask before they land.
Logo and brand identity
We designed the logo, the wordmark and the whole colour system: a deep navy for the night, with a warm yellow and a coral accent on the buttons a guest presses.
Direct booking
The availability search sits on the first screen of the homepage. A guest picks dates and how many people are coming, sees live prices, and confirms without leaving the site and without a platform taking its cut.
The property management system
We set up the property management system (PMS) with the sixteen rooms, their rates and one shared calendar. Then we connected Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and Agoda to that calendar ourselves. A room sold on any one of the four comes off sale on the other three within moments, so the same sixteen rooms can be sold on all four at once without a double booking.
Every listing and the rates we keep current
We set up and published every listing ourselves, platform by platform. The villa is live on more than ten channels today, among them Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, Trip.com, Hostelworld, Trivago and Google’s hotel search. And we are still the ones who keep the rates up to date.
Found on Google
The villa now has its own profile on Google. A traveller who lands and searches for somewhere near the airport finds it on Google Maps, with its photos and a route to the door. In Google’s hotel search it appears with its own nightly rate and a link straight to the villa’s site, so a guest can go from search to direct booking with no commission in between.
Proud of this project
We were trusted with all of it. We do more than you see here; these are the pieces this project needed.
