MOST HOTELS DON’T HAVE A BOOKING PROBLEM.
THEY HAVE A BROKEN DIGITAL GUEST JOURNEY.
A guest discovers your hotel.
They search for you.
Then the friction starts.
🌐 The website doesn’t answer enough questions.
📞 They call to confirm availability.
💬 They move to WhatsApp to book.
💳 Payment becomes another process.
🚕 Airport pickup requires another conversation.
Eventually, they choose the easiest option:
A third-party booking platform.
The hotel may still get the booking.
But it has lost control of the customer relationship.
While working on the digital transformation of ORANTO, this became one of our biggest insights:
⚡ A HOTEL WEBSITE SHOULD NOT BE A DIGITAL BROCHURE.
IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE HOTEL’S REVENUE INFRASTRUCTURE.
Instead of asking:
“Do we have a good website?”
Ask:
❓ HOW MUCH OF THE GUEST JOURNEY CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT STAFF INTERVENTION?
Discovery → Room selection → Availability → Payment → Confirmation → Airport pickup → Guest services.
Each unnecessary call, message or manual handoff creates friction.
And the opportunity doesn't stop at checkout.
If the hotel owns the relationship, guest history can help drive better service, smarter follow-ups and repeat bookings.
That’s the bigger opportunity we explored with ORANTO:
Not simply redesigning a hotel website.
But connecting the digital guest journey from discovery to return.
Hotels spend heavily creating incredible physical experiences.
But your guest often experiences your hotel digitally before they ever walk through the door.
If that experience is broken, part of your hospitality experience is broken too.

I tried Figma make and here's my take on it.
AI can generate something “usable” fast… but it still misses what makes a design feel intentional (hierarchy, restraint, and a clear point of view).
So I redesigned it which focused on:
-> cleaner structure + spacing
-> better visual rhythm
-> more deliberate typography choices
-> a layout that feels designed, not assembled

Where do you think AI helps most right now? Ideation, layout exploration, or production?

Great work, I'd just love to have some animations on the live site. It'll really put more life to it
To ans your question: For me, AI works best for ideation and layout exploration. And I hate to see it has made majority of the community super lazy that they use it for final production. Sucks..
Visitors scan, not study. If the page is slow, confusing, or buried in unnecessary details, they’re gone.
Lead with the outcome. Build trust with proof. Make the offer impossible to miss.
Because better page structure can turn the traffic you already have into more customers.
