Your Client Portal

No guessing how your travel agency website is performing

Trip inquiries arrive from people who’ve been dreaming on your destination pages. Your client portal shows each one with the page that inspired it. Visitors are charted so you can see a season or a special land. Any change you’ve asked for, from a new itinerary to updated pricing, shows its status. Your files and billing are kept together, and a call with Patrick is one click.

How Our Pricing Works

Why pay too much for your travel web designer?

The old way was a big deposit, then a maintenance bill you found out about later. We got rid of both. Your travel agency website costs $0 to build and $95 a month after that, everything included, and it belongs to you from the first month. Start attracting travelers on day one, cancel any month you want.

How much do I pay today?

Nothing upfront

$0 to build. Design, words, illustrations, SEO, launch. Your first $95 is your first month, and you don’t pay a cent before your website is live and working for you.

Is it really one number?

One number, no tiers

No Basic, Pro or Business. The $95 covers the build, hosting, on-page SEO, unlimited updates, monthly reports and direct access to Patrick. There’s no plan above it, because there isn’t one.

Do I actually own it?

Yours from day one

Your domain, your design, your words, your data. The site belongs to you from the first month. Stay because you want to, not because you’re paying something off.

What if I want to leave?

Cancel any month

No contract, no lock-in, no exit fee. We have to earn it again every 30 days, which is exactly the point. Go ahead and press the button.

The Everything Plan$95 / month

Go on, press it.

  • Contract to breakNone
  • Exit fee$0
  • Your site and filesStill yours

That’s it. That’s the whole cancellation.

Pricing

Try to find another travel web designer at these prices. Go ahead, we'll wait.

One booking commission can cover most of a year. Start today and get a site that competes with the big OTAs and drives direct bookings from people who prefer a real agent.

The Everything Plan

One plan, because you should not have to study a comparison table to buy a website. Every feature below is included from day one.

$95/month

$0 to build. No contract. Cancel anytime.

Your website is yours from day one.

A site built for you, not from a template

Imagine what you could accomplish with more than just a Home, About and Contact page.

Built for speed

Hand-coded and served from Cloudflare's edge, not a page builder dragging its own weight around. Fast on any phone, on any connection.

Custom illustrations

No junky stock photos or cookie cutter icons here.

Copywriting

Great copywriting is the difference between a website that sells and one that doesn't.

On-page SEO

Essentially this means making it as easy as possible for Google and AI to find you.

Custom lead forms

Forms that actually convert visitors into leads.

Easy analytics

Plain, simple, straightforward, valuable analytics anyone can read.

100's of local SEO pages

Local SEO requires hyper-local intent targeting. Almost every service-based business needs this!

Blog

Blogs are awesome if they are used authentically. The age of purely info-based content is over.

Social media integration

We can integrate your social media content directly into your website. Strategically, of course. We don't want visitors getting distracted!

Automated reviews management

Automatically add new reviews from review platforms (Google, Yelp, etc) directly into your website.

Online calendar bookings

Let visitors book meetings, sessions and appointments directly through your site.

Email newsletter integration

Email newsletters help turn your visitors into subscribers.

Automated legal policies

All of your legal policies (Privacy, Terms and Conditions, etc) will be automagically kept up to date. Giving your website 24/7 legal compliance.

CRM integrations

We can integrate your website with any CRM tool you and your team are currently using. Or even make a custom one!

Advanced integrations

Think Zapier, Airtable, n8n, etc...

Hosting

Not all hosting is created equal. If you want the Taco Bell of web hosting, Bluehost is waiting for you.

Unlimited Updates

Changes to hours, photos, text and services are included. Routine edits have a 72-hour target; larger requests get an agreed scope and completion date.

1-on-1 VIP support, direct with Patrick

No call centers, no offshoring, just your friendly neighborhood Patrick. Based in North America, native English speaker, and fluent in Spanish if that is easier for you.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about travel web design

Everything you want to know about getting a website built for your travel agency.

Should I show package pricing on my travel website?

Yes. Show starting prices for popular destinations and trip types. '7-day Italy tours from $2,500' or 'All-inclusive Caribbean from $1,800.'

Do I need destination guides on my website?

They help enormously. Guides showing what to see, where to stay, best times to visit prove expertise and help with SEO.

Should I offer custom trip planning?

Absolutely. Generic packages appeal to some, but many travelers want personalized itineraries.

What's the best way to showcase destinations?

High-quality photos from actual trips, client testimonials with trip photos, and detailed itineraries.

Do I need to explain cancellation policies clearly?

Yes. Post-COVID, people are hyper-aware of flexibility. Clear cancellation terms build trust and reduce booking anxiety.

How important is mobile for travel websites?

Critical. People browse destinations and book trips on phones during commutes or downtime.

How do I compete with big travel booking sites?

Don't compete on inventory. Compete on expertise, custom itineraries, and personal service. Value beats volume.

Should I focus on specific destinations or be general?

Specialize. 'Italy luxury travel expert' beats 'we book trips everywhere.' Niche expertise attracts travelers willing to pay for knowledge.

Do I need professional destination photos?

Your own travel photos build authenticity, but quality matters. Stock photos make you look like every other travel site.

How quickly can I get travel bookings from my website?

Travel SEO is competitive and slow. Expect 6-12 months for organic traffic.
