FOXCR8
From one lodge to a live booking marketplace
Situation
A focused single-lodge presence that needed to become a platform other owners and guests could trust.
Problem
A template site with bolted-on forms would not support availability, deposits, balances, messaging, reviews, owner onboarding, payments and business oversight as one system.
FOXCR8 role
Design and build the product end to end - guest journeys, owner tools and business control - and remain involved as the marketplace grew.
Systems
Bespoke marketplace platform (not a theme or directory plugin stack).
What we did
- Discovery with guest, owner and operator needs
- Purpose-built marketplace application (API + modern front end)
- Booking flows with transparent payment stages
- Owner dashboards, calendars, pricing and onboarding
- Admin oversight for fees, approvals and support
Deliverables
- Live guest booking experience
- Owner tools
- Business administration layer
- Ongoing product capable of improvement
Outcome
The business can operate beyond a single-lodge showcase as a growing marketplace, with complexity handled underneath a clear user experience.
Ongoing support: Product iteration and platform support as required.
