Hi there! There is a lot of potential scope in the project description, I have some questions if that's ok:
- is the chat an open chat room or client -> staff one-on-one chat?
- bookings: would this be an enquiry form with date selector or more like booking an actual product for a specific day, therefore requiring a catalogue of sorts too?
- back-end: do you need to set up any product listings or any other management tools?
- would bookings have a management tool too?
- do you have an idea of look/feel?
This could be a very simple 2-3 page site or it could become a very powerful tool. I'd love to hear more about what you had in mind and how strict the budget is, if you have time to chat sometime.
I'm online for 12-14 hours each day and will reply to any messages ASAP.
