Villa Kim — custom WordPress booking site for a B&B

Project

A fast, lightweight WordPress site for Villa Kim, a B&B in Balk, Friesland with clear room pages and a built-in booking flow.

My role Development of a custom WordPress theme, CMS structure, and the booking UX. I implemented content models for rooms, wired up the availability/booking form on each room page, and tuned performance and SEO. (Example: the Appartement page with date pickers and reservation flow.)

Goals

• Make it effortless to pick a room and book in a few clicks.

• Keep the site simple for owners to manage: edit rooms, images, copy, and pricing without touching code.

• Ship a clean visual style that matches the property and works well on mobile.

What I built

• Custom theme with room listing (“De Kamers”) and individual room templates (gallery, specs, CTA).

• On-site booking flow: date inputs + availability messaging on each room page, with server-side handling.

• Owner-friendly CMS: custom post types & fields for capacity, bed count, m², breakfast price, gallery, and SEO meta.

• Contact & trust: clear contact details, directions link, and outbound links to Instagram/Airbnb/Google for social proof.

• Performance & UX: responsive images, lazy loading, semantic markup, and consistent Dutch locale formatting.

Stack

• WordPress (custom theme), PHP 8, MySQL/MariaDB

• Custom fields & CPTs (e.g., ACF or native register_post_meta)

• SCSS/CSS + vanilla JS (no heavy front-end framework)

• Booking plugin/integration for availability & reservations
