Hotel website design for Amorist Hotel & Bistro Bar, Dunfermline
Amorist Hotel & Bistro Bar
Amorist needed a website that matched the atmosphere of the venue and promoted both halves of the business: the rooms upstairs and the bistro bar downstairs.
Amorist is a boutique hotel and Mediterranean bistro bar in the heart of Dunfermline, with Classic, Superior, Family and Deluxe rooms, live music and private events. The team had a reference site they loved for its mood and confidence, so we set out to capture that feel in a design of Amorist’s own. Three priorities shaped everything:
- Hotel bookings come first. Every page needed a clear route to book a room.
- Be found in Dunfermline. The site had to work hard in local search, from “hotels in Dunfermline” to “afternoon tea Dunfermline”.
- Easy for the team to run. Events and offers had to be simple to add, and look after themselves.
- A homepage with three ways to book from the top: a room, a table, or afternoon tea and brunch
- A booking bar that stays within thumb’s reach as guests scroll on a phone
- A Stay page that shows off every room and answers guests’ questions before they book
- An Eat & Drink page for menus and serving times, with a “dinner downstairs, bed upstairs” prompt
- Rooms, Offers and Events the team manages in one place, and nothing goes live without a photo
- Events and offers that come down by themselves when they end, on the website and the TV
- A TV display for the venue, run by a Raspberry Pi, with QR codes and a dashboard for the team
- Hotel, Restaurant and Event structured data, FAQs and 301 redirects from the old pages
- A look drawn from the venue: aubergine, wine, brass and blush on warm cream
- Bricks Builder and Core Framework for the design and build
- JetEngine for the rooms, offers and events content types and fields
- Rank Math Pro for titles, descriptions, structured data, redirects and sitemaps
- Custom PHP and CSS for expiring events and offers, the slide image rules and the TV display
- Raspberry Pi running Chromium in kiosk mode, managed with Raspberry Pi Connect
- Google Analytics campaign tracking for QR scans
- SureCookie cookie consent, styled to match the brand
- 20i hosting with StackCache for fast page loads
- Integrations with the hotel’s booking engine and the bistro’s reservation system
