About Number One Carlill
Number One Carlill is a high-end holiday apartment located in Whitby. The owners wanted a digital platform that reflected the premium nature of their offering, captured the charm of the location and appealed directly to guests looking for a seamless booking experience.
Project Overview
The brief was to build a website that did more than act as an online brochure. The goal was to create a site that:
- Attracted more direct bookings to reduce reliance on third-party portals.
- Offered a booking experience that was smooth, secure and mobile-friendly.
- Combined a visually compelling design with advanced functionality behind the scenes.
The solution needed to reflect the unique character of the apartment and location, while delivering a high performance, easily managed backend for the owner.
What I Delivered
- A custom booking engine with live availability and pricing shown in real time.
- Secure checkout functionality enabling guests to book and pay directly on the website.
- Two-way synchronisation with external platforms, ensuring availability remains accurate across channels and admin workload is reduced.
- A fully responsive, brand-aligned design showcasing professional imagery, calls to action and intuitive navigation across desktop and mobile.
- Technical optimisation including fast load times, clean code and strong on-page SEO foundations, to support discoverability and user experience.

“ I was given John’s details by a friend who had used him to build her website. It was a daunting task trying to know where to start. But John was excellent to work with. I explained what I needed for my new business and he developed an amazing website which has been very successful. He explained everything to me and came up with great ideas for me. The result is a fabulous website which I’m very happy with. I would definitely recommend John. ”
