Design for travel companies
Travel booking apps and websites, designed and built
For tour operators, rental companies and travel startups: search, availability, itineraries and payments in a booking product that is live in 30 days for a fixed $2,500.
Updated October 2026 · By Shaheer Malik, senior designer & developer
The problem I solve
- ✕A booking flow so long that travellers leave before paying
- ✕Availability managed in spreadsheets and confirmed by email
- ✕A brand that sells the trip, and a checkout that does not
Quick answer
Travel is bought on inspiration and abandoned on friction: sell the trip, then keep the booking flow short, with dates and travellers first and prices including fees. My travel sprint builds search, availability, itineraries and payments, live in 30 days for $2,500.
How I approach it
Travel is bought on inspiration and abandoned on friction. The site sells the trip with the place and the experience, then the booking flow gets out of the way: dates and travellers first, clear prices including fees, and as few steps to payment as possible.
Behind it, availability, itineraries and traveller details live in one system instead of spreadsheets and email, so a booking confirms itself and the operator sees the day at a glance.
The travel sprint designs and builds search, availability, itineraries, payments and traveller management, live in 30 days for a fixed $2,500. A marketing site for a tour company on its own is $1,999 in 14 days.
