CONTEXT & OBJECTIVE
Riverside Hotel Group ran bookings through a third-party aggregator that took a commission on every reservation and buried their four properties behind generic listing pages.
A multi-property booking website for a small hotel group — real-time availability, a custom booking widget, and a CMS the client's team runs themselves.

THE CORE CHALLENGE
Booking engines are unforgiving — real-time availability across four properties, date logic, room-type pricing, and a checkout flow that has to work flawlessly on a phone, since most bookings happen there. Getting this wrong means lost reservations, not just a bad review.
WHAT I BUILT & DELIVERED
A Next.js frontend with a custom booking widget wired to a lightweight availability API, plus a CMS layer so the client's own team manages rooms, rates and property content without touching code.
Built a custom booking widget — live availability, room-type pricing, date logic, all mobile-first
Connected the widget to a lightweight availability API shared across all four properties
Set up a CMS layer so reception staff can update rates and room content directly
Migrated bookings off the third-party aggregator entirely, removing the per-booking commission
