Carlos Ortiz Liz, Vittorito in Abruzzo
I build websites for hosts and tourism businesses. Guests can book directly on your site, and you can see where enquiries and bookings came from. The figures appear in your own dashboard, which is easy to use on your phone too.
Have a look for yourself
You can try all three demos yourself. Make a test booking and it will show up in the matching dashboard shortly afterwards.
The businesses and figures are fictional. Test bookings are deleted after 48 hours.
I work with agriturismi, B&Bs and holiday homes, as well as tour operators and wineries. Most of my clients are in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or Italy. If your business is elsewhere, just ask.
The businesses are fictional, but the websites and booking flows work. Try making a test booking; it will be deleted after 48 hours.

Five places to stay, a booking calendar and extras such as dinner or a wine tasting. The dashboard shows occupancy and the share of direct bookings.

An example using your own figures. It shows what might remain if more guests booked directly.
Prices are starting prices, excluding VAT. The final cost depends on the size of the website and the languages you need. After a conversation, I can give you a fixed quote.

Tell me about your business and your guests. Together, we’ll look at what your website does today and what you’d like to change.
I’ll suggest a structure and a design. You can review it and tell me what feels right and what you’d like to change.
I’ll put the site together using your text and photos. You can check the progress and share feedback along the way.
Once everything is ready, the website goes live on your domain. I’ll then keep the site, analytics and dashboard up to date.
Depending on the project, it usually takes a few weeks from our first conversation to launch.
I’m Carlos. I trained in tourism and have worked in the industry for 13 years. These days I build websites with booking and reporting for hosts and tourism businesses.
I speak German, English and Spanish. I’m still learning Italian.
Since 2024, Zita, our son and I have lived in Vittorito, a small town in Abruzzo. Our home is a 450-year-old stone house. Zita and I also run casa abruzzo, where we host week-long cooking trips.
At casa abruzzo, we ask ourselves the same questions as other hosts: Where do our guests come from? Who books directly and who uses a portal? Is the newsletter worth it? I want the dashboard to answer questions like these clearly, without making you study a report first.
What’s already working well on your website, and what would you like to change? Just drop me a line. I reply in German, English or Spanish.
