Websites
Websites for places people travel to.
Bernhard designs, builds and deploys websites for hostels, surf houses and small travel businesses. Much of it came from time on the ground in Ecuador and Panama.
Featured
Wave House Ecuador
A beachfront surf stay in Puerto Engabao. The site sells a feeling first (empty waves, yoga, healthy meals), then turns it into bookings with packages, rooms and reviews.

Process
From first conversation to live site
On the ground
He learns how guests find the place and how bookings actually come in, sometimes by working there himself.
Design
He drafts quickly with v0 and Lovable, then refines the layout, copy and photos with the owner.
Build
He builds in React and Next.js with a clean structure and fast pages, and writes the metadata for search.
Ship
He deploys on Vercel with version control on GitHub, and changes go live in minutes.
Beyond the website
What he adds for small operators
A fast, mobile-first site that answers guests' questions and gets them to book.
He rebuilt a surf hostel's social channels so the feed matches the stay.
He streamlines reception flows and internal processes with Google Sheets and Forms and booking tools like Cloudbeds.
