The problem
Malawi Holidays sells tour packages, hotel stays and car hire, mostly to people planning a trip from outside the country. They wanted one site where a traveller could plan the whole trip and pay for it, and that their own team could keep up to date.
What we built
A React front end on a Django and PostgreSQL back end. Each package has a day-by-day itinerary. Hotels have their room types, rates and availability. Car hire sits next to both, so a trip can be put together in one place, then booked and paid for by card through Stripe, or sent as an enquiry.
Behind the site, the team manages packages, hotels, destinations, reviews, news and a blog with more than one author, and gets a notification when a booking or enquiry comes in.
