More Direct Bookings. Less Commission. Is Your Website Ready for AI Search?

We work with holiday accommodation providers across Buxton and the surrounding areas, helping them increase direct bookings and reduce dependence on commission-based booking platforms.

Some online travel agencies charge commissions of up to 30% per booking, costing accommodation providers thousands of pounds each year.

At the same time, AI is changing how travellers search for accommodation. Websites that are poorly maintained or not optimised for modern search are becoming harder to find online. A well-configured website can help attract more direct bookings, improve visibility and increase your profit margins.

A quick review could uncover simple opportunities to increase direct bookings and reduce commission costs. Get in touch to arrange a no-obligation website assessment.

We’ve loved working with Grapevine Wellbeing Centre in Buxton, a community charity at the heart of local support.

Starting with branding and logo design in 2024, we went on to deliver a new website in 2025 — helping bring everything together into a clear and accessible platform.

It’s been a privilege to support and improve the accessibility of their meaningful work.

If you’re planning a project, we’d be happy to help. Give us a call on 07866 870 070 or email [email protected]

It has been great working with Katie, Sacha & Kelly at www.thesalonbuxton.co.uk on their website, branding and promotions.

We started with logo design, setting up Google Workspace emails and established a 1 page website to launch their appointment booking system in November 2024.

Since then, we’ve created appointment and loyalty cards, promotional flyers, printed vinyl for the windows, and tap-to-review POS stands. Most recently we've given the website a bit more volume — introducing engaging content, developing their presence across traditional search and also optimising for AI.

Loads of interesting projects and we're buzzing to see our work come to fruition.

It's bright & breezy at CoCo - The Coworking Collective - Buxton this morning, hosted in the Palace's Conservatory this week.

This follows a great Buxton Business Club event, also held at The Palace last night in their newly refurbished Derby Room.

Elite Venue Selection who are now running The Palace are keen to invite Buxton residents to revisit. Deffo feels like they are turning things around here.

Hope everyone has a great bank holiday weekend ☀️

I've been diagnosed with in November and I'm feeling the benefits of a wheat and gluten-free diet. Big lifestyle changes, cooking more from scratch and eating a lot less processed food. Who knew eating bread could cause brain fog and fatigue!? Thank you Masa Tortillas for supplying the gluten-free goodies.

The Blue Monday tide is turning as we make the finishing touches to the new Crows Nest Films website this week and meetings with Nina Ketel and The Park Buxton to discuss marketing and promotion through 2026. Projects for Rotosteel and Paul Beers Academy also ongoing.

Let me know if there is something web-related I can help with.

We've launched a new website for the Grapevine Wellbeing Centre who provide support for anyone struggling with their wellbeing or mental health, and their carers too. Based on Buxton's Market Place, they've created a lovely environment with a weekly schedule of drop-ins and activity groups, talks and wellbeing sessions - I was there last night for a festive wreath making workshop.

A big thanks to Ana, Sarah and the rest of the Grapevine team for being very engaged and supportive throughout the duration of this project. Check it out at www.grapevinebuxton.com

The Grapevine Wellbeing Centre is the leading mental health charity in Buxton. We are proud to have supported adults across the High Peak since 2003.
