Enhanced the Unique Villas St Barth website by developing custom plugins for seasonal pricing and personalized quote creation, improving both administrative efficiency and user experience.
Unique Villas St Barth is a premier luxury villa rental platform, offering an exquisite collection of private villas in St. Barts’ most opulent locations.
The Challenge
Unique Villas St Barth required advanced functionalities beyond their theme’s basic capabilities:
- Seasonal Pricing System: The existing theme lacked a robust pricing system to handle seasonal variations, essential for accurately reflecting villa rates during different times of the year.
- Personalized Quote Creation: The client needed a system to generate tailored quotes for clients, incorporating specific budgets, check-in/check-out dates, and the ability to include or exclude villas based on location or other criteria.
Concept & Creative Direction
To address these challenges, I developed and implemented the following custom solutions:
-
Seasonal Pricing Plugin:
-
Season Definition: Enabled administrators to define multiple seasons with specific start and end dates.
-
Villa-Specific Rates: Allowed setting of daily and weekly pricing for each villa per season, providing flexibility and accuracy in pricing management.
-
Frontend Display: Displayed seasonally adjusted daily and weekly rates on villa pages, ensuring transparency and clarity for potential clients.
-
-
Personalized Quote Creation Plugin:
-
Client Budget Input: Provided fields for administrators to input client-specific details, including budget and desired stay dates.
-
Relevant Villa Selection: Automatically generated a list of villas matching the client’s criteria, with options for the admin to reorder, include, or exclude properties based on location or individual preferences.
-
Customizable Quotes: Enabled the creation of personalized quotes that could be sent directly to clients, enhancing the bespoke service offering.
-
These enhancements significantly improved the website’s functionality, allowing Unique Villas St Barth to manage complex pricing structures and provide personalized client interactions efficiently.
