Saltline Watersports
A booking-led website for a watersports rental operator on Mellieħa Bay, designed around the way beach businesses actually take bookings: over WhatsApp, from a phone, often minutes before customers want to be on the water.

What the website had to do
Rental customers decide on the beach or in their hotel room, on a phone, often in a second language. The site has to show what is available, what it costs and where the routes go, then get them talking to the dock in one tap.
How the design answers it
Every booking button opens WhatsApp with an availability message already written, and a floating chat button keeps it one tap away on every page. Prices are shown as clear "from" rates in euro, with deposits set out in a single table. Content is split into activity, location, gallery, review, FAQ and policy pages so each can be found in search on its own. A second stage adds online booking and an admin area behind the same front end.
For this showcase I completed the site with a matching stylesheet and illustrated scenes of the bay, the jet skis, speedboat, banana boat and paddleboards.
