Methodology

How we build

Every Pixelbee site follows the same approach: simple, fast, and built to last without depending on us more than necessary. This page explains our thinking — and helps you decide which layout is right for your property.

Philosophy

Six things we never compromise on

These aren't aspirations. They're constraints we design around from the first line of code.

01

Simple over clever

A website that loads fast and works reliably is worth more than one with animations and features that slow it down. We use the minimum technology the job requires — nothing more.

02

Speed is a feature

A one-second delay in page load cuts conversions by 7%. Every site is built as static HTML — no database queries, no server-side rendering, no plugin overhead. Pages load from a global CDN in milliseconds.

03

You own everything

Your domain is in your name. Your Cloudflare account is yours. We are a helper inside your infrastructure, not a gatekeeper of it. If you ever leave, your assets come with you — no hostage-taking.

04

SEO is built in, not bolted on

Technical SEO — page titles, meta descriptions, structured data, sitemap, canonicals — is part of every build. It's not an add-on. A site that Google can't find properly is a site that isn't working.

05

Mobile is the default

More than 60% of hospitality browsing happens on a phone. Every layout decision is made mobile-first. We test on real devices — not just browser developer tools.

06

Maintenance should be boring

A well-built static site rarely breaks. No WordPress updates to apply, no plugin conflicts, no database corruption. Maintenance means content — prices, photos, text — nothing more stressful than that.

The process

From contract to live site

Most sites go live 3–4 weeks after we receive your content. The timeline is almost always determined by how quickly content arrives — not by our build time.

1

You send the content — we handle the rest

You provide what only you can provide: your photos, your story, your prices, your room names. Everything else — structure, design, code, SEO setup, hosting configuration — is our job. You never need to touch a line of code.

2

We build a working preview, usually within 1–2 weeks

Once we have everything, we build the full site and send you a private preview link. You review it on your phone and your computer, work through a checklist, and send us one consolidated set of feedback.

3

Two rounds of revisions — then go-live

You get two rounds of feedback included. We implement your changes, you confirm approval, and we flip the site live on your domain. The whole review process typically takes 1–2 weeks depending on how quickly feedback arrives.

4

Monthly maintenance begins the day you go live

After go-live, your monthly fee covers hosting and one content update per calendar month — a price change, a corrected phone number, updated opening hours. Anything more substantial gets a separate quote. No surprises.

Layout options

Which layout is right for you?

Both layouts include the same content and cost the same. The difference is structure — how your content is organised and how search engines file it. Here is what each one means in practice.

Multi-page layout

Template B

The same content split across separate pages, each with its own URL. Visitors navigate between pages like a traditional website. Each page can rank independently in Google for its own topic.

  • Stronger per-section SEO — rooms, restaurant, and region can each rank independently
  • Familiar "real website" feel for visitors who expect page navigation
  • Each page has its own title, description, and keyword focus
  • Better long-term SEO ceiling in competitive markets
  • Five separate HTML files to maintain
  • Slightly longer to build and review
  • Thinner pages if the property has limited content
Page structure (standard — 5 content pages + legal)
  1. /  Home — hero, about teaser, room previews, reviews, booking CTA
  2. /rooms  Rooms & Rates — all room types, pricing, booking
  3. /hotel  The Hotel — full about, facilities, videos
  4. /region  Discover — region, activities, area photos
  5. /contact  Contact — form, map, practical info, FAQ

Legal page (/legal) included as a technical requirement — not counted in the 5-page limit. Restaurant add-on adds a 6th page (/restaurant) — covered by the add-on fee.

Factor Template A — Single-page Template B — Multi-page
Overall SEO Good — one strong URL Good — distributed across pages
Rooms/restaurant ranking separately in Google Not possible Yes — each page ranks independently
Page load speed Fastest — one file Fast — per-page files are small
Mobile experience Excellent — scroll-native Excellent
Files to manage after go-live 1 5 + legal
Build & QA time Standard 1–2 hours longer
Works well with limited content Yes Pages can feel thin
Best market fit All markets, especially lower-competition Higher-competition or SEO-priority properties

Not sure which to choose? Start here.

"Do I want my rooms page — or my restaurant — to appear separately when someone searches for them in Google?"

No — I just want a great website

Template A is the right choice. It's simpler to manage, just as well-built, and sufficient for the vast majority of independent hospitality businesses. It's what most Pixelbee clients choose.

Yes — independent ranking matters to me

Template B is the right choice. Particularly useful if you have a restaurant that draws guests independently, or if you're in a market where "hotel X rooms" or "hotel X restaurant" type searches are common.

Both templates include the same content, the same features, and the same monthly fee. The choice is purely about structure. If you're unsure after reading this, Template A is the safer starting point — and we can always discuss it on your onboarding call.
