Case study

Ohiwa Ocean View Apartments 

The Challenge:
The new owners of Ōhiwa Ocean View Apartments needed a complete brand and website build that reflected the peaceful, high-end experience of their coastal accommodation. They wanted a professional online presence that would support direct bookings and make information easy for guests to access.

The Solution:
I created a custom-designed WordPress website that reflects the calm, luxurious feel of the property, while keeping the booking experience simple and user-friendly. 

It includes:

  • An integrated booking system with real-time availability
  • Mobile-friendly design and intuitive navigation
  • Practical guest info like check-in details, amenities, and local attractions
  • Booking.com integration for broader reach and synced availability

I also designed the logo, signage, and printed material to create a consistent brand experience across the business.
