Brief & Objectives

Cornerstone Guesthouse sought to enhance its online presence and increase monthly bookings through a strategic digital approach. Recognising the importance of a strong online identity, they aimed to develop a WordPress website that would not only showcase their offerings but also improve their visibility on Google through consistent SEO management.

Challenges

Lack of Online presence: Cornerstone Guesthouse approached us with a clear need to establish a strong online presence and increase their monthly bookings. Despite their excellent reputation, they lacked a dedicated website and were missing out on potential guests searching and booking online.

Content Development: The client approached us without a clear framework for the website’s copy, an essential component of the site’s foundation. Collaborating closely, we worked to define their core messages, crafting engaging content that effectively communicates their value proposition to both potential customers and visitors, while aligning with their overall brand identity.

Language Translation: Incorporating WPML to ensure the site could support both English and Afrikaans posed an additional layer of complexity. Maintaining clarity and consistency across both languages was key to delivering a seamless user experience, while ensuring the site’s overall functionality and design remained intact.

Design Features:
