A bilingual website that turns visitors into direct bookings through WhatsApp and an integrated booking form.
Kigali, Rwanda, 2026
About Project
We rebuilt the hotel’s website around one goal: fewer commissions to booking platforms and more guests booking directly — in English and French, on any phone.
Let’s Talk
Challenges
— Challenge
Most guests discovered the hotel on booking platforms, which took a large commission on every stay.
The old website was slow on mobile data and only available in English.
— Approach
A fast, bilingual site with room pages that answer every guest question before they ask it.
A one-tap WhatsApp enquiry and a simple booking form, with Mobile Money and card payment options.
Results & Metrics
Within the first months, direct enquiries became the hotel’s leading source of bookings, and the team now updates rates and photos themselves.

— Impact
What our clients say:
They understood our shop immediately. The posts look like us — loud, friendly and ready for work — and customers now walk in holding their phones to show us the poster.
