I run www.idyllicitaly.co.uk, a WordPress site using WP Rentals as the platform and booking system with custom CSS, showcasing luxury Italian holiday rentals.
Currently, WP Rentals booking functionality exists but has not been configured, so the site does not take bookings online. We require full online booking and payment setup so guests can check availability, book, and pay directly on the site.
Additionally, we want to refresh the design to a clean, modern, luxury aesthetic while retaining all property pages, URLs, and SEO to align with our luxury Italy rentals brand.

Goals
• Enable online bookings, payments, and guest management via WP Rentals. • Modernise the design with a clean, luxury aesthetic. • Retain all property pages and content. • Preserve SEO (URLs, metadata, headings, internal links). • Ensure speed, responsiveness, and a seamless booking experience. • Fully mobile-optimised and visually excellent on mobile devices.

Scope of Work

6. Functionality and Testing • Ensure all property pages, search, and booking functions work seamlessly. • Fully mobile-optimised across all devices. • Optimise site speed.
7. SEO Preservation • Retain all current URLs, metadata, internal linking, and alt tags. • Resubmit sitemap post-launch.
