Easton Holiday Cottages offers self-catering accommodation in the UK countryside.
A week before launch, their agency discovered that the previous developer’s work was unusable. The site was unstable and not ready to show the client, let alone go live.
Helix Consulting was brought in as an emergency holiday cottage website and WordPress booking system specialist to rebuild everything in just seven days.
The challenge – rescue project with a hard deadline
A previous freelancer had spent months on the build, but the result was not production-ready.
The agency faced a hard client presentation deadline with no reliable site to show.
The client needed a simple, SEO-friendly holiday cottage web design that would convert visitors into enquiries and bookings.
Our solution – fast, focused hospitality web design
In one week, we:
- Rebuilt the site on WordPress with a clean, guest-friendly layout for cottages, galleries and local information.
- Implemented and configured an online booking system for holiday cottages, allowing visitors to check availability and send booking requests.
- Structured pages for search terms like “holiday cottage website” and “self-catering accommodation in [location]”.
- Produced a maintainable build so the agency can update content and images without ongoing developer dependence.
The IMPACT – launch saved, bookings enabled
The agency hit its deadline with a working, attractive holiday cottages website, and Easton could start taking bookings immediately.
The site now acts as a strong base for ongoing SEO and content work for the UK staycation market.
