Three Stripes Digital

Prepared For Matthew Peterson And Solitude Resort

A complete website, SEO, and paid media plan for a private mountain resort designed around cabins, weddings, couples, retreats, and outdoor experiences.

The objective

Create An Asset Solitude Owns

The website will be built to turn the resort into its own destination rather than a listing buried among competing inventory. Guests will be able to discover accommodations and experiences, check availability, and book directly through the connected reservation system.

Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and other channels can still provide demand, but the long-term objective is to grow direct traffic, first-party audience data, repeat bookings, and a recognizable resort brand that Matthew and his family fully own.

A Resort Website Built Around How Guests Buy

The design will take strategic cues from premium destination properties without copying another brand. Solitude will have its own visual system, story, photography direction, messaging, and conversion path.

Accommodations

Cabin and rental pages with photography, amenities, occupancy, availability, pricing context, and clear booking paths.

Weddings

A dedicated venue experience for ceremonies, receptions, lodging blocks, packages, galleries, and qualified inquiries.

Couples

Romantic getaways, anniversaries, private stays, wellness add-ons, and experience-led landing pages.

Corporate Retreats

Group lodging, meeting space, team experiences, food and beverage options, and retreat inquiries.

Outdoor Activities

Private trails, hiking, stargazing, horseback riding, ATV or UTV experiences, waterfalls, and acreage.

Resort Story

The build, the land, the long-term vision, and the founder-led story that makes the destination memorable.

Website and booking infrastructure

Custom Solitude Experience, Powered By OwnerRez

Three Stripes Digital will design the complete guest-facing experience in Figma and build it as a custom responsive website. OwnerRez will sit behind that experience as the central reservation and channel-management system. Solitude keeps a distinctive, owned brand while relying on proven infrastructure for availability, rates, reservations, payments, and supported marketplace synchronization.

1. DiscoverGuest finds Solitude through search, advertising, social media, or a booking channel
2. ExploreGuest compares cabins, weddings, retreats, and experiences on the custom website
3. CheckOwnerRez returns supported live availability, rates, rules, and quoting
4. BookGuest completes the direct reservation and payment through the supported secure flow
5. SyncOwnerRez records the reservation and updates connected channel inventory

What We Will Integrate

Direct Website Booking

Availability search, property selection, live quoting, booking, inquiry, rates, calendars, and reviews using the OwnerRez components supported by Matt's account.

Airbnb

Connect supported property content, rates, rules, availability, reservations, guest information, and messaging through OwnerRez's Airbnb channel connection.

Vrbo

Synchronize supported inventory, rates, rules, reservations, and guest records so direct and marketplace bookings are managed centrally.

Booking.com

Connect supported listings and reservation data so availability remains coordinated with the direct website and other active channels.

Google Vacation Rentals

Configure the supported Google connection when the properties, account, direct-booking flow, and feed meet Google's eligibility requirements.

Hotels.com And Additional Channels

Verify OwnerRez and channel eligibility during onboarding. We will connect supported channels; unsupported marketplaces will be documented rather than represented as live.

How The Custom UI/UX And OwnerRez Work Together

We control the complete public website: brand system, navigation, page layouts, property cards, galleries, accommodation pages, wedding and retreat funnels, calls to action, responsive behavior, and the steps leading into checkout. OwnerRez provides supported booking widgets and transactional infrastructure for functions such as availability, quotes, calendars, reviews, and Book Now.

OwnerRez-hosted widgets and checkout screens can be configured and visually integrated within the options OwnerRez supports, but protected third-party payment and booking interfaces cannot be arbitrarily rewritten with custom HTML or CSS. We will make the handoff feel consistent without compromising payment security, reservation accuracy, channel compatibility, or future OwnerRez updates.

Three Stripes Digital Handles

  • Information architecture, Figma UI/UX, responsive HTML and CSS, and unlimited revisions through launch
  • Accommodation, wedding, couples, retreat, activity, resort-story, policy, and inquiry experiences
  • OwnerRez website components, booking entry points, supported channel setup, analytics, and conversion tracking
  • Desktop, tablet, mobile, browser, form, availability, quote, checkout, and synchronization QA
  • Launch implementation, administrator handoff, and documentation of the final system

What We Need From Solitude

  • Active OwnerRez, Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, payment-processor, domain, and analytics accounts
  • Secure account access and completion of any platform identity, property, tax, or channel approvals
  • Final property details, occupancy, amenities, rates, fees, taxes, minimum stays, policies, and rental agreements
  • Approved logo, photography, video, maps, descriptions, contact details, and legal policy language
  • One decision-maker for design approvals, integration decisions, and launch authorization

Operational result: OwnerRez becomes the central source of truth for supported rates, rules, availability, reservations, guest records, and payment workflows. A booking created on the direct website or a connected channel updates the shared inventory so the same dates cannot be sold twice through another synchronized path. Third-party subscriptions, transaction fees, listing approvals, and unsupported channel limitations remain outside the website fee.

Solitude Starting DR 0 New-domain starting point

The First Authority Milestone Is DR 30

A new domain starts without the backlink strength that helps established resorts rank. The first urgent authority objective is to move Solitude toward DR 30 while the site architecture, landing pages, internal links, local signals, and content mature.

Ahrefs Domain Rating is logarithmic. The gaps become substantially larger toward the top, so moving from DR 0 to 30 is not comparable to moving from DR 40 to 70. We will prioritize relevant, followed links from credible publications and travel, wedding, regional, business, and outdoor websites rather than chase raw link quantity.

Core Search Demand

Solitude can compete across broad cabin demand and narrower, higher-fit experience searches. The initial page map will assign each target to one clear destination rather than force every keyword onto the homepage.

On-Page Optimization

Keyword-to-page mapping, titles, headings, copy direction, entities, image optimization, internal links, and conversion alignment.

Local And Regional SEO

Resort location signals, map visibility, regional relevance, Atlanta drive-market pages, citations, and destination relationships.

Content Planning

Accommodation, wedding, couples, retreat, outdoor, comparison, itinerary, and travel-planning briefs tied to demand.

Authority Acquisition

Social Signal Boosting

Included ranking support

A Recent Social Signal Boosting Example

In a recent client campaign, social signal boosting helped move “HCG peptide” and “MT2 peptide” to the #1 position in under 24 hours. The HCG ranking still remains in the top three.

Social signal boosting is a supplemental accelerator. It does not replace page quality, technical SEO, content, internal linking, or backlinks. For Solitude, selected priority-keyword support is included inside the $4,500 monthly SEO fee.

Execution proof

Growth Systems That Produce Visibility And Signed Work

The industries differ, but the execution standard is the same: build an owned conversion asset, make it discoverable, measure what happens, and keep improving the path from visibility to revenue.

Google And Meta Advertising

Solitude controls its own media budget and can divide that spend between Google and Meta in whatever proportion best fits current demand, available inventory, and campaign performance.

Demand Capture

Google Search campaigns for cabins, weddings, romantic stays, retreats, outdoor experiences, and qualified destination searches.

Competitor Conquest

Controlled campaigns around relevant Bolt Farm, Stellara, Compass, and marketplace searches where policy, economics, and intent support them.

Demand Creation

Meta campaigns using property, drone, construction, couple, wedding, and outdoor creative to reach guests before they choose a destination.

Retargeting

Google and Meta audiences for visitors who viewed accommodations, weddings, or retreat pages but did not book or inquire.

Landing Pages

Campaign traffic will be sent to the most relevant resort page rather than a generic homepage whenever a focused path can improve conversion.

Measurement

Booking value, inquiries, calls, assisted conversions, source, campaign, landing page, and return on ad spend where platform data permits.

Investment

Website development is a one-time engagement. SEO and advertising management are month to month.

Recommended next step

Build The Website First, Then Choose The Growth Channels

The website comes first because it creates the destination, direct-booking experience, landing pages, and measurement foundation that every growth channel needs. Once that foundation is underway, Solitude can choose SEO, paid advertising, or both based on its priorities, launch plan, and available budget.

The target website timeline is approximately 5 to 6 weeks after required access, content, photography, platform support, and design approvals are available. Third-party integration timing depends on OwnerRez and each connected channel’s supported capabilities.
