Accommodation Branding & Web Design

More direct bookings.
Less commission.

We design brands and build SEO-optimised websites that bring guests straight to your property — no Booking.com, no Expedia, no 15–20% cut off the top.

Accommodation is all we do. We understand the industry from the inside out, and we build for one goal: direct bookings.

The Business Case

Stop paying commission
on your own guests.

Every time a guest books through Booking.com, Expedia or Airbnb, you hand over up to 20% of that booking in commission. For a busy motel, that's tens of thousands of dollars — every single year.

Booking.com

Per booking, paid by the property

Commission deducted every booking

Run the numbers

A motel generating $500,000/year in bookings and paying just 15% to OTAs is losing:

Annual OTA commission (15%)$75,000
Over 5 years$375,000
Cost of your own direct-booking website (+ GST)$2,900
30×

Your website pays for itself over and over again.

A professional, SEO-optimised website with direct booking capability is the single highest-return investment an accommodation owner can make. Every direct booking puts money back in your pocket — not on someone else's platform.

Our Digital Presence package — website + branding + 12 months hosting — starts at $2,900 + GST. Most clients recoup that in their very first month of direct bookings.

Why Accommodation Studio

We speak the language
of accommodation.

We come from the accommodation industry — not a generic design agency that took on a motel as a client once. Our team has deep roots in buying, selling, and operating accommodation businesses across Australia. We know what makes a property stand out, what guests look for, and what actually drives bookings.

Every brand we design and every website we build is grounded in commercial reality — not just what looks good, but what fills rooms.

01

Brand Identity

Logo, colour, typography, and the visual language that makes your property instantly recognisable.

02

Website Design

Fast, beautiful, mobile-first websites built to convert visitors into direct bookings.

03

Industry Knowledge

We know occupancy, yield, and what guests really care about. That insight shapes everything.
