ABOUT RK HOSPITALITY STUDIO
A founder-led studio focused on hospitality websites and digital guest journeys
RK Hospitality Studio helps independent hotels, guesthouses and serviced accommodation businesses create clearer, more professional websites built around the needs of their guests.
Hospitality insight combined with structured website development
We look beyond visual design to consider how guests understand the venue, find important information and move towards a booking or enquiry.
Hospitality websites should support the business as well as represent it
A hospitality website is often one of the first parts of the guest experience. It helps potential guests understand the venue, compare accommodation, find practical information and decide whether to book directly.
When the website is unclear, outdated or difficult to use, the effect can extend beyond presentation. Guests may abandon the booking journey, return to a third-party platform or contact the venue with questions that the website should already answer.
RK Hospitality Studio was developed to approach these challenges with structured analysis, hospitality-focused thinking and practical website development.
About the founder
Ryan Kilgariff
RK Hospitality Studio was founded by Ryan Kilgariff to combine operational problem-solving, hospitality research and digital development.
Ryan’s approach focuses on understanding how a business communicates its standards, supports its customers and turns complex information into a clear and usable system.
This thinking is applied to hospitality websites by examining questions such as:
- Can guests understand the venue quickly?
- Is the booking route easy to find?
- Are room types clearly differentiated?
- Is important guest information missing?
- Does the website reflect the quality of the actual venue?
- Is the website reducing or increasing administrative workload?
- Are direct-booking opportunities being overlooked?
Every founding-client project receives direct involvement from Ryan throughout the review, planning, design and delivery process.
How we approach every project
Our work is guided by three principles that help keep the service focused, transparent and appropriate for independent hospitality businesses.
Transparency
We define the project scope, responsibilities, stages and pricing clearly before work begins. Clients are kept informed throughout the process.
Specialism
Our service is focused on independent accommodation businesses, allowing us to consider the specific information, booking routes and guest expectations involved in hospitality.
Personalisation
Every venue has a different identity, target guest and booking process. The website structure and content are adapted around the individual business rather than forced into a generic format.
A developing specialist studio
The founding-client rate reflects the current portfolio-building stage of the studio. It does not reduce the agreed scope, standards or level of care.
RK Hospitality Studio is a developing specialist business currently accepting a limited number of founding-client projects.
The founding-client stage allows us to continue developing our hospitality website portfolio while giving each project direct founder involvement, a structured delivery process and close attention to the venue’s guest journey.
Founding clients receive:
- Direct communication with the founder
- A hospitality-focused website review
- A clearly defined project process
- A reduced founding-client rate
- Two structured revision rounds
- Launch support
- The opportunity to provide feedback as the specialist service develops
