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.
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.
Clear booking paths
Visitors move from interested to booking without getting lost, so you field fewer confused emails.
Seasonal-ready & mobile-first
Update tours, rates, and availability yourself before the busy season. Built for the phone, where travellers plan.
Someone to call
One person who knows your site and keeps it running smoothly, season after season.
Rescue
Locked out by a past provider, or stuck with a site your team can’t touch? That’s fixable, and how many of my projects start.
Tourism projects follow the same steady process, built around real booking journeys.

Why work with me
I understand the tourism business, not just websites.
Before web design, I studied tourism management and worked in hospitality. I know the seasons, the booking pressure, and what a traveller needs to see before they commit. I build tourism sites around that, not around web design trends.
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.

Destination and travel-planning sites
I don't just build operator sites. I work on travel guides too.
I built Icefields Parkway, a travel-planning site for one of the most famous drives in the Rockies, and I publish my own guide, Kananaskis.com. Both do the same job your site does: help travellers decide what to do and where to go. It's why I understand how visitors move from browsing to booking.
“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.”

“Dany is a proactive partner and a valued extension to our team. His SEO and site optimization work improved our site's health and search visibility, and made content updates smoother.”
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 CMS build on Craft 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.
