A redesign and booking extras for a Ghana travel rental site
The Distance Travelled rents curated luxury homes in Ghana and the UK and organises tours. We gave its WordPress site a cleaner, minimalist look and extended booking with add-on services and tours.

The problem
The site worked, but it looked dated and made booking harder than it should be: unclear buttons, a static availability calendar and no way to add services to a stay.
Tours with fixed dates also had to be sold online.
What we built
We built a custom child theme on top of the existing theme and gave the whole site one minimalist identity: a full-width homepage header, a simple search by dates and guests, featured properties and previews of the shop, tours and journal.
Property pages got an availability calendar behind a Select date button, a Google Map and clear Book now and View details buttons. During booking, guests can add an airport meet and greet, an orientation meeting, car hire with a driver, and shopping or tour packages, each with its own price and fields. Tours with fixed dates are sold as WooCommerce products with their own participant form.
The result
Guests find a stay, add the services they need and book in one flow, and the client sells tours alongside accommodation.
