Ravens Ait venue website: WordPress and Bricks Builder build by Mohit Goyal for a Thames island venue, with 20+ event pages, Stripe bookings and HubSpot forms. It was built from scratch in 2025 through a London agency, scores 94 or higher on PageSpeed and has grown revenue pages since launch. Ravens Ait hosts weddings, christenings, private dining, corporate meetings and celebrations of life on a private island on the Thames near Kingston. The venue needed a site that reflected a luxury experience and converted browsers into enquiries. The brief asked for a luxurious light-gold palette, a sticky header, smooth non-intrusive animations, a quick availability call to action, an event-type carousel, an Instagram feed, case studies and testimonials. It also called for accessible contrast and a mobile-first layout. Working through a London agency, I built the full site from scratch on WordPress with Bricks Builder. The homepage has a video hero with Google-fetched reviews. There are nine event pages, including wedding sub-pages for Asian and European weddings, and eleven seasonal pages, from Holi to Boxing Day. All of them come from one Bricks template, so a new occasion is a content task rather than a build. Every event page follows one SEO heading structure: a single H1, three H2s for venue settings, catering and entertainment, H3s for FAQs, testimonials and the enquiry form, and an email subscription section. A gallery, blog templates with an author box, and a contact page with FAQs complete the core. Enquiry forms sync to HubSpot through Google Tag Manager, with mandatory fields so leads arrive complete. Later in 2025 I added revenue pages. A Wimbledon Tennis on the Island page has a date picker, per-date packages, Stripe payment through Forminator, customer and admin email templates, past dates disabled and a daily booking summary email. A Christmas 2025 page carries early-bird packages and a PDF flipbook menu. Dinner and Dance and Bollywood Student Night pages take Stripe bookings and share a combined promo popup. Bricks Builder was chosen over heavier builders because it produces lean markup. That is what made the PageSpeed target realistic on a page full of video and imagery. WP Rocket handles caching. The exit-intent popup is limited to once per 12 hours, with a scroll-triggered version on mobile, so it captures leaving visitors without nagging. HubSpot via Google Tag Manager keeps the CRM integration out of the theme code. Forminator with Stripe gave the venue paid bookings without a full e-commerce install. A cookie disclaimer and per-page SEO sections finished the build, followed by a QA pass that deduplicated card content and unified the sliders. The site has been live since April 2025 at ravensait.co.uk with a reported PageSpeed score of 94 or higher. The venue can now add a seasonal page or a ticketed event from templates, take payment on the page and see bookings summarised by email each day. The project taught me that one well-structured template, applied twenty times, is worth more than twenty bespoke pages. Run a venue that needs enquiry pages and ticketed events on one site?

Crowne Plaza London Kingston hotel website rebuilt by Mohit Goyal on WordPress and Elementor, with rooms linked to IHG booking, meeting forms and promo popups. The rebuild replaced a broken Elementor site in June 2025 and has been extended since, delivered through a London agency. The hotel's existing site had a broken homepage layout and a heavy loader that delayed every visit. Rooms were not presented in a way that led to a booking, meeting enquiries had no clear path, and the site lacked the basic pages a hotel needs for privacy and cookies. After a quick repair of the homepage in April 2025, the agency and the hotel agreed a proper rebuild rather than more patching. In June 2025 I rebuilt the site on staging. I removed the loader and smooth-scroll scripts that were slowing the pages. Then I built a grid of eight rooms with hover amenity icons, each linking to IHG booking in a new tab so the hotel's reservation system stays the source of truth. A meeting rooms grid uses venue-specific dropdown forms, so an enquiry arrives already tagged with the right space. I added an FAQ, privacy and cookie pages, and enquiry forms routed to the hotel inbox. Highlighted amenities include the gym, EV charging, river views, the restaurant, IHG One Rewards and parking. I handled responsive layout, 404 redirects, index settings and SEO titles, and the new site went live on 17 June 2025. Over the following months I added a blog listing with the first post and promo popups the hotel can switch on for seasonal offers. Staying on WordPress and Elementor was the right call for a hotel whose team needed to edit content themselves. The gains came from removing scripts rather than adding them. Linking rooms to IHG instead of building a booking engine kept the site honest about where availability lives. In July I diagnosed a GoDaddy cache layer that was swallowing form submissions. It looked like a form bug but was the host's optimisation layer, and upgrading PHP from 8.0 to 8.3 fixed it. Yoast-style SEO titles and clean redirects protected the rankings the old site already had. Delivered as a freelance project through a London agency, the site is live at cplondonkingston.co.uk. The hotel can now switch a promotion on with a popup, publish a post and take a meeting enquiry without a developer, and every room leads straight to a booking. The main lesson was in the form fix: when submissions vanish, check the hosting layer before the plugin. Does your hotel website need a rebuild that keeps bookings flowing to your reservation system? Send me the details and I will reply with a plan.

Raasa Restaurant landing page: a coming-soon site for a Locksbottom Indian restaurant, built overnight by Mohit Goyal on WordPress and Elementor and put live. It turned a mismatched theme demo into a clean launch page before the restaurant opened. Raasa is an Indian restaurant in Locksbottom, Orpington. It needed a presence online before opening so that early customers could find it, read about the kitchen and leave an email address. The agency had a horizontal-scroll theme demo that did not fit a restaurant, and the deadline was the next morning. The brief was simple but tight: one page, live on the real domain, by the time the client checked in. On 8 and 9 April 2025 I converted the demo into a one-page landing. It has a hero, an About Raasa section with the head chef's biography, a menu teaser, an email sign-up and a map. Converting the demo meant fixing the theme breakage that came with removing its horizontal scroll. I stripped the sections that did not apply and rebuilt the remaining ones as a vertical page. I also removed the unused WooCommerce install the demo had brought along. It had no place on a coming-soon page and only added weight and attack surface. The same night I migrated the page from staging to the live domain, so the restaurant woke up with a working site on its own address. Elementor was the right tool for a page that had to exist by morning and that the agency would edit later. Keeping WordPress rather than a static page meant the site could grow into a full restaurant site, with menus and bookings, without migrating again. Removing WooCommerce and the unused theme parts kept the page light. That matters for a site most people open on a phone while deciding where to eat. Later in 2025 I installed Google Tag Manager so the agency could add analytics and tracking without further code changes. I added opening hours to the footer once the restaurant had fixed them. The page is live at raasarestaurant.co.uk. The restaurant had an online presence before opening day, collected sign-ups from the start and now has a WordPress base that can be extended as the business grows. It was a small project, but a good example of turning a mismatched theme into a clean launch page under time pressure. Knowing what to delete is often the fastest route to a finished site.
