Tourism operators
Websites that turn travellers into bookings
I build websites for Alberta tourism operators that turn visitor interest into bookings. I studied tourism management and worked in hospitality, so I understand your business, not just your website.
Hello, bonjour. I’m Dany, based in Lethbridge, Alberta. You work directly with me from first call to launch and beyond.
Hotels, resorts, tours & destinations across Alberta and BC
What tourism operators get
Turn interest into bookings, without fighting your website.
Built for how travellers actually plan: on their phones, across seasons, ready to book.
More direct bookings
Your site becomes a real path to direct bookings, so more of each stay is yours instead of the OTA’s.
Booking that flows
Your site and your booking system work as one for the guest, with booking links and calls to action placed where they’re ready to act.
Keep your search visibility
A redesign shouldn’t cost you traffic. Careful redirects protect the rankings and organic visitors you’ve already earned.
Your team runs it
Update rooms, pages, and your own promotions and offers yourself, in a CMS built for clear editing, not a clunky page builder.
Someone who knows your site
You work directly with me, not a rotating support queue, and your site is documented and cared for so it keeps running smoothly, season after season.
Rescue
Sites grow messy over time: extra pages, patched-on fixes, content nobody can find. Sorting that out is how many of my projects start.
Tourism projects follow the same steady process, built around real booking journeys.

Your site vs. the listing sites
What OTAs and listing sites can't do for you.
The big booking and listing sites are good at bringing volume. The trouble is dependency: the more of your business runs through them, the more commission you hand over and the less control you keep. Your own site is the one channel you actually own.
Keep more of each sale
Every OTA booking costs a commission. A booking through your own site is yours in full.
Own the relationship
The traveller's details are yours, so you can follow up, rebook, and build repeat business instead of renting the customer.
Show what a listing can't
Your full range of tours and experiences, your season, and the reasons someone chooses you over a generic listing.
Why work with me
I've worked in hospitality, not just web design.
Before this, I studied tourism management and worked in hospitality. You’re the expert on your business and your customers. My background helps me understand your world, ask the right questions, and turn what you know into a site that works for you.

A closer look at one recent build: how a rebuild brought in more quote requests and protected search visibility through the move.

Outcome: More quote requests, easier updates, and search visibility protected through careful redirects.
Destination and travel-planning sites
I build travel guides, not just operator sites.
For Icefields Parkway, I worked with Malfair Marketing to turn their content strategy into a fast, user-friendly travel-planning site. I publish and maintain my own guide, Kananaskis.com, which keeps me close to how travellers search and how that’s changing. Both are about the same thing your site needs: helping travellers decide where to go and what to do.
“Superb from first contact to finish. Clear, user-friendly design. Friendly, timely service and flexible meetings. The site is easy for users and admins. Post-launch support was excellent.”

Pricing
Typical investment
Most custom tourism sites range from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on scope. Larger or more complex projects are phased with fixed-fee estimates and clear deliverables.
What's included
- Custom design and development on Craft CMS or Statamic
- Booking or quote paths designed to convert
- Technical SEO and a careful launch to protect search visibility
- Editor training so your team can update it themselves
- A post-launch care option for ongoing updates and site health
Transparent estimates and phased scopes
You will get a clear estimate with defined deliverables. If the scope changes, we phase the work or update the estimate in advance. No surprises.
What results to expect
Clearer booking paths, fewer basic inquiry emails, a site your team can update before each season, and search visibility protected through any redesign.
Wondering if it's a fit
Let's look at your website together.
Bring a link to your current site and a sense of what's not working. I bring questions, a straightforward review, and an honest read from someone who knows this region and this business.
No pitch, no pressure. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you. And no lock-in: your site is yours, on a widely-supported platform, and if you ever want to move on, I help you make the transition.
A few questions that help the first call
- Who are the travellers you most want to reach this season.
- What “working better” means for you: more bookings, fewer repeat questions to answer, easier updates.
- What feels fragile or confusing about your current site.
- Rough timing and budget, even as a range.
You can send these ahead of time by email, or we can walk through them together on the call.
