Zen Stays Rental project hero

The project

Zen Stays Rental supports guests looking for stays and hosts looking to list properties.

They needed a website to present services, listings and collaboration opportunities in one place.

The challenge

Making the business clearer online.

  • 01

    Unified guest and host journeys

    The site needed to present services, listings and collaboration opportunities in one place.

  • 02

    Stalled previous attempts

    Previous website attempts had stalled, so delivery needed to stay collaborative and practical.

  • 03

    Simplified customer journey

    Browsing, booking and payments needed a clearer path for guests.

  • 04

    Self-managed content

    The team needed a WordPress setup they could manage themselves after launch.
