Online booking
A bespoke customer booking experience makes arranging skip hire straightforward.
Back to My Work
Project overview
Hartleys Skip Hire required a bespoke online system that would make arranging skip hire quick and straightforward. I developed a Laravel booking solution with a custom CMS and comprehensive administration tools for managing skips, bookings and website content.
The challenge
Hartleys Skip Hire needed a bespoke online system that made arranging skip hire quick and straightforward. The project had to support customers making a booking as well as the business managing the skips and reservations behind it.
The brief combined a booking website with a practical management system. Website content, bookings and skip administration all needed to be considered within the same solution.
A booking system built for skip hire
I developed a bespoke Laravel booking solution tailored to Hartleys Skip Hire. The customer-facing website provides an online route for arranging hire, with administration tools supporting the business behind the booking process.
The development also included a custom CMS. This brings website content into the same project as the booking and management functionality, giving the business a system designed around its requirements.
Making the customer journey straightforward
The website's central task is to help customers arrange skip hire. The booking experience therefore needed a clear purpose, guiding visitors towards completing the arrangements they came to make.
The bespoke approach allowed that customer journey to be considered alongside the operational needs of the business. The booking website is part of a wider system, with administration forming an equally important part of the project.
Managing skips, bookings and content
The Laravel solution includes comprehensive administration tools for managing skips and bookings. These provide the business with a dedicated management area supporting its online hire operation.
The custom CMS adds website content to that set of tools. Together, the features connect the public-facing website with the practical tasks involved in running and maintaining it.
What the project delivered
Dedicated administration
Management tools support the business in administering skips and bookings.
Custom content management
A CMS gives the business tools for managing website content within the wider Laravel solution.
The result
Hartleys Skip Hire received a bespoke Laravel booking website with a custom CMS and comprehensive administration tools.
The project brings the customer booking experience together with skip, booking and content management, creating a system tailored to the business.
