Project Overview

As a freelance web developer, I had the opportunity to build the Saraya Hotel website, offering a seamless online booking experience for users. The website allows guests to view real-time hotel room availability, make reservations, and process payments through a custom WooCommerce integration with a local bank's payment API. The site ensures that users are updated in real-time regarding their bookings, creating a smooth and efficient process for both guests and hotel management.

Key Features and Technologies Used:

Real-Time Hotel Room Availability

The website displays live availability of hotel rooms, allowing customers to see up-to-date room statuses. Integrated with a dynamic booking calendar, guests can choose their check-in and check-out dates to make reservations in real time.

WooCommerce for Payment Processing

WooCommerce powers the payment system, allowing customers to securely book rooms and pay for their reservations. The WooCommerce integration ensures that all transactions are seamless and efficient.

Local Bank API Integration

To process payments, I integrated the website with a local bank's payment gateway API. This allows guests to pay directly through the local bank's secure payment system, providing a reliable and localized option for financial transactions.

Automated Booking Updates

When a user books a room, they receive automatic updates at each stage of the process—from booking confirmation to payment receipt and final check-in instructions. This keeps guests informed at all times and enhances their experience.

Responsive and User-Friendly Design

The website is designed to be fully responsive, ensuring an optimal experience for users on both desktop and mobile devices. Guests can easily navigate the booking system, view room details, and complete their reservations from anywhere.

Custom Booking System

I developed a custom booking system using WordPress and WooCommerce to handle reservations. The system manages room availability, user bookings, and payment processing efficiently.

Challenges Faced and Solutions Implemented

Challenges:

  • Real-Time Booking Integration: Implementing a real-time booking system required precise synchronization between the booking calendar and room availability data.
  • Payment Gateway Integration: Integrating the local bank API required ensuring secure and smooth payment processing without interruptions.
  • User Experience: It was essential to ensure that the booking process was seamless and easy to follow, minimizing friction for users while completing their reservations.

Solutions Implemented:

  • Real-Time Booking System: I integrated the booking system with real-time availability checks, ensuring that the room status is updated as guests make their reservations. The system is synchronized with the backend to prevent overbooking.
  • Payment Gateway Setup: I worked closely with the client and the bank to integrate the local payment API into the website, ensuring a secure and smooth transaction process. This included handling payment confirmations and error-free transactions.
  • Optimized User Flow: I focused on streamlining the booking flow, with clear steps and automated updates to guide users through the reservation process. The result is an intuitive system that enhances the user experience.

Development Workflow

Initial Consultation & Requirement Gathering

The project started with understanding the client's specific needs for the booking system, payment integration, and updates to ensure a smooth user experience.

Design & Front-End Development

I designed and developed the website using WordPress, ensuring the design was modern, mobile-friendly, and intuitive for users. This included easy navigation, a room booking form, and clear calls-to-action.

Backend Development & Integration

On the backend, I integrated the WooCommerce payment system and connected it with the local bank API to facilitate secure payments. I also built a custom booking system to manage reservations efficiently.

Testing & Quality Assurance

Thorough testing was conducted to ensure that the booking system, payment gateway, and automated updates were functioning correctly. This included simulating bookings and processing payments through the local bank API.

Launch & Post-Launch Support

After the site was developed, I launched it and provided post-launch support to handle any issues, monitor performance, and ensure smooth operations for both the hotel staff and guests.
