Mark & Daughters: A Rental Website with Bookings, Payments and Property Photography
A rental property website has two jobs: help guests choose somewhere to stay, and give the owner a practical way to run the business. Our new project for Mark & Daughters brings those needs together through website design, booking and payment systems, booking-platform integrations, original photography and a full client handover.
Mark & Daughters presents rental properties in London and West Sussex. TW Web Design designed the website, created the booking systems and photographed the properties inside and out. We also provided full training so the client can manage and administer the whole system themselves.
A property showcase with a route to booking
The website brings property listings, photographs and booking tools into one place. Visitors can browse by region, explore individual properties and use the date-and-guest search to begin finding accommodation for their stay.
For a rental business, the design needs to make more than a good first impression. Guests need to understand the accommodation and find a clear next step. The website connects that browsing experience with the practical booking process.
Original photographs, inside and out
Property photography was a central part of the project. We took all the exterior and interior photographs, creating a set of images specifically for the properties and their presentation online.
Exterior views introduce the building and its setting, while interior photography helps visitors explore the rooms and living spaces. Bringing photography and website design together allows the layouts and galleries to work with the images from the outset.
Booking and payment systems built around the business
Alongside the design, we created the booking systems and payment setup. This turns the website into a working part of the rental operation, with a direct route for guests to move from viewing a property towards making a reservation.
The project brings those practical systems together with the public-facing website, rather than treating the booking process as an afterthought. It is an example of how a website can support the day-to-day work behind a business as well as its marketing.
Integration with Airbnb and other booking platforms
Many property businesses work across their own website and external booking platforms. For Mark & Daughters, the project included integration with Airbnb and other property booking systems to support that wider booking setup.
The right integration approach depends on the platforms a business uses and the information each connection supports. For a new project, we agree those requirements as part of the brief, so the website and booking tools are planned around the owner's actual workflow.
A handover that gives the client control
A system is only useful if the people running the business know how to use it. We provided full training so the Mark & Daughters client can manage and administer the whole setup themselves.
That handover is an essential part of the finished project. The client receives both the website and the knowledge needed to operate it, with day-to-day control rather than a dependency on a designer for every change.
One project, from photographs to administration
The completed work brings together website design, internal and external property photography, booking and payment systems, booking-platform integrations and client training. Each element supports the same goal: a useful property website for guests and a manageable system for the owner.
Planning a rental property website?
Whether you are launching a rental business or updating an existing website, start with the full picture: the properties, the photographs, how guests will book, how payments will be handled and who will administer the system.
TW Web Design can bring the design, photography and technical work together, with training planned into the handover. Get in touch to discuss the properties you offer, the booking platforms you use and what you need the website to do.
