The client and the goal
Riad Mamass is a boutique riad with gardens, twenty minutes from the Marrakech medina, run by its owner, Souad. She wanted guests to get a feel for a stay before choosing a room, then send a booking request in English or French. I designed and built the site around phones, so guests can do all of that without switching devices.
Before choosing a room, guests want to picture themselves somewhere calm and green, where they'll be looked after.
From the first screen to a booking request
These phone screens follow a guest from the welcome page through a suite and the whole-house offer to the request form.
On a desktop, guests can explore the house and send a booking request.
What the site does
Choose dates from the start. Arrival and departure dates sit below the welcome alongside the guest count, so guests can start checking a suite or the whole house from the home page.
Book the whole house. Groups of up to 18 can take every suite for a birthday, family reunion or company offsite. The whole-house offer has its own form asking about the occasion and the number of guests.
Souad answers each request. Guests send their dates, and she emails back with availability and a price. There's no online payment, in keeping with how the riad already works.
Read the site in English or French. Every page is available in both languages. Tripadvisor reviews keep their original French, with an English line underneath.
How it's built
I built the site with WordPress and Elementor, starting with the phone layout.
Polylang handles English and French, with a language switch in the header.
Fluent Forms sends each form submission to Souad's inbox.
Her phone number, WhatsApp and email appear at the bottom of every page.
If you run a riad or guesthouse, tell me about your rooms and guests here on Contra. Message me and I'll reply with a fixed price in writing.
