Phase 1 - Discovery & Strategic Foundation
Great websites start with understanding your unique business model, seasonal patterns, and customer journey. This isn't a generic questionnaire—it's a strategic dive into what makes your operation tick.
Business Intelligence
Understanding your operation inside and out:
- How seasonal patterns affect your revenue
- Where your best customers come from

Technical Requirements
Building the right foundation from day one:
- Booking and reservation system needs
- Payment processing preferences
- Mobile functionality priorities
- Marketing automation opportunities
