[The challenge]
Two luxury villas with bookings scattered across Airbnb, WhatsApp and an old WordPress site. We brought them together in one platform the client runs on their own_
[Site walkthrough]
[What we found]
First, an
audit_
Before building, we reviewed what was there and asked the client the questions nobody had asked. Four findings changed the plan.
Before
Prices were calculated in the browser
The whole rate sheet shipped in a file anyone could view and edit before sending a request.
NowThe server calculates every quote. The price shown and the price charged come from the same call.
Before
Rates didn’t change by season
They depended only on the number of bedrooms: August cost the same as Christmas.
NowRates by season and bedroom count, with promotions, editable from the panel.
Before
Every change meant building and uploading
The site lived on shared hosting and every content tweak went through a technical process.
NowSaving in the panel is publishing. A new house or experience gets its page instantly.
Before
Traffic was still on an old WordPress
The new domain redirected to the old one, and the photos and indexed URLs depended on a site about to be shut down.
NowEverything lives on corazonrentals.mx: we rescued photos and URLs and migrated the domain step by step.
[How booking works]
From date
to inbox_
The guest requests, the host approves, and only then is the guest charged. Every step arrives by email, in Spanish or English.
See the price_
Bedrooms, guests, nights, taxes and deposit: the quote comes from the server instantly.
Get confirmed_
The host approves from the panel and the guest gets a payment link and a confirmation.
[Screen by screen]
Two villas,
one heart_
Every house, experience and destination guide has its own page, in two languages. Everything is edited from the panel.
[Under the hood]
What we built_
Design, website, backend, client panel and the domain migration, with the site live the whole time.
No double bookings, ever
The database prevents two bookings from taking the same night, even if they arrive in the same second.
Server-side pricing
A single rate engine, by season and bedroom count, with taxes, deposit and promotions.
Request, approve, charge
Dates are held while the host decides; Stripe checkout opens only on approval.
Connected calendars
It reads the Airbnb and Guesty calendars and pushes the nights sold here back to them.
One panel for everything
Houses, photos, experiences, rates, requests, calendars, chat with sales and email copy.
A site that stays up
If the server fails, visitors still see the last good version. Publishing never interrupts anything.
