About the Project

Challenge:

The Colonial Courtyard — a heritage boutique retreat in Pondicherry — needed a website that matched the elegance and character of the property itself: French colonial architecture, Chettinad antiques, four-poster beds, and a rooftop overlooking the Bay of Bengal. Beyond aesthetics, they needed a functional online booking system for their room portfolio (including Villa du Gouverneur at ₹15,000/night and The Riviera at ₹10,000/night) that would reduce dependence on third-party booking platforms and capture direct bookings.
 

Our Solution:​

We designed and developed a premium WordPress website that captures The Colonial Courtyard’s heritage character through photography-led design, editorial typography, and considered whitespace. The Rooms section presents each villa with full details — dimensions, guest capacity, amenities, and pricing — with a direct booking enquiry flow. An online booking integration was implemented to handle availability, date selection, and reservation requests. The site positions the property for direct bookings while conveying the boutique experience that differentiates it from generic hotel listings.
