The challenge

Sonesta operates thousands of properties across more than a dozen brands. The marketing and booking surface has to load fast, stay on-brand across every sub-brand, and let non-technical teams publish offers and destinations without an engineer in the loop.

What we did

  • Built a reusable, accessible component library so every brand renders from one consistent design system.
  • Wired the front end to a headless content layer so marketing can publish offers, destinations and packages independently.
  • Tuned the booking and search entry points for Core Web Vitals — fast first paint and responsive interaction on every device.
  • Made the experience fully responsive from large desktop down to mobile, where most leisure bookings start.

Responsive by design

One experience, tuned from large desktop down to the phone in a guest's hand.
