(01)The problem
Guests booking homestays through big platforms pay a fee and can't talk to the host first. The site had to make booking direct feel as safe as a platform.
(02)Approach · key decisions
01
Choose by place
Coorg, Chikmagalur, Sakleshpur and Gokarna tiles, each with sleeps and drive time from Bengaluru.
02
Trust in plain terms
Named host, exact address, and what is and isn't included, before any enquiry.
03
Calm premium redesign
Serif type, illustrated scenes instead of stock photos, and a new arched-window logo.
(03)What's inside
The build.
- Enquiry to the host on WhatsApp
- Built on the Black Soil codebase with its own brand layer

What I learned
A shared codebase across brands only works when each brand's data lives in one place.
