The Challenge
Kate needed an independent website for the gorgeous Forget Me Not Cottage, to enable her to independently promote the property, and gather and display reviews.
The Process
Future proofing
Kate wanted the option of moving to an independent booking system in the future, that would work seamlessly with her site. Multiple options were researched and checked for compatibility to ensure Kate has a choice when the time is right for this move.
Displaying customer reviews
An easy to update review section was a key requirement of the website. Kate needs to be able to upload new reviews after each stay to keep the site fresh and current. To update the reviews a simple table is updated, so Kate doesn’t have to worry about any of the design elements of the site.
The visuals
A design and theme was created to reflect the character and décor of the cottage and bring personality to the site. The meadow flower theme was subtly present throughout the modern and stylish site design.
The property photography, also undertaken by Effortless Websites, captures the spaciousness and style of the property, and sits seamlessly in the design of the website.

The Solution
The Forget Me Not website has everything a holiday cottage website needs, wrapped up in a modern and sophisticated finish. The site is functional, attractive, and future proofed to give Kate options for the future of her business when she needs them.
Website Features
"I was looking for help to raise the profile and booking of my holiday let, given my limited ability and understanding of website design.
Fiona spent face to face time with me gathering an understanding of my needs and a specification for the website. Her questions were insightful and challenged my thoughts about what I thought I needed and what I actually wanted.
Following the initial meeting Fiona gave me realistic time expectations for delivery of the end product. Each piece of the development was checked and validated by myself with her professional oversight and recommendations, which afforded a true collaborative customer experience.
My website went live as planned, with a host platform that enables me to consider visits to the site and a lot of additional information. Fiona has checked in a couple of times since with valuable suggestions as to how to maximise the “footprint” and my reach to customers.
Ultimately I received a highly professional service at a very competitive market rate. I have been delighted with the results and plan to utilise as much of the acquired knowledge that I have gained to build my business."
