Sognefjord Cabins · Balestrand
From a website to a complete digital booking setup
Since early 2021, we have helped Sognefjord Cabins develop its online presence – from photography and a website to pricing strategy, guest reviews and automated booking.

Five cabins. An online presence ready for a fresh start.
When we started working together, Sognefjord Cabins had an older website. Rentals were split between direct bookings and an external rental agency. Inge wanted to present the cabins more clearly and simplify booking and administration.
The collaboration began in early 2021 through C&C Media, whose work is now continued through Reiseinn. We have developed the website and digital tools alongside Inge as the business has evolved.
Photos from the property
Website, photography and operations – developed together
Website and content
- A new Wix website with structure, design and copy that showcase the cabins.
- Dedicated pages for activities, boat hire, a gallery, travel information and the business.
- An integrated booking engine and ongoing content and feature updates.
- Organic SEO and search visibility work, without paid advertising campaigns as part of our work.
Photography and visual presentation
- Cabin and interior photography, drone photography and views of the grounds.
- Editing and preparing photographs for the website.
- A visual presentation of all five cabins and their fjordside setting.
- The video on the customer's homepage was supplied by another photographer and is not our work.
Local identity and pricing strategy
- Developing the local identity together with Inge.
- A clearer presentation of the existing cabin names and their links to Balestrand's mountains and nature. We did not create the names.
- Market research and comparison with local rates.
- Recommendations on seasonal, nightly and weekly rates, supplements, positioning and social media.
Google reviews and QR codes
- QR codes, posters and materials that make leaving a Google review easier for guests.
- Dynamic QR codes that can be updated if the destination link changes.
- Integrating and displaying Google reviews on the website.

23 Google reviews at the start and 70 as of 1 November 2026: 47 additional reviews, an increase of approximately 204%. The 5.0/5 rating comes from the November 2026 website printout. Figures supplied by the customer.
We made collecting reviews easier with QR codes and guest materials. The increase cannot be attributed to QR codes alone; guest experiences and the customer's own efforts also play a part.
From Wix Booking to Sirvoy
We initially set up and managed bookings through Wix Booking. In August 2026, it was replaced by Sirvoy, integrated into the existing Wix website.
We exported booking data from the previous system and worked on the transition. Automatic transfers depend on the systems involved; anything else needs to be reviewed before switching.
- Sirvoy account, cabins, room types, rates and booking engine.
- Automated guest messages and booking confirmations.
- Payment setup and deposit rules.
- Tailored booking links for Nordic and Echappe Nord.
- Access to reports and booking information for the accountant.
- Testing, troubleshooting and training.

A partnership that grows with the business
A website is only one part of daily operations. Over several years, we have helped Inge with booking issues, rate changes, guest communication, payments and technical questions.
We have also assessed new digital sales channels and developed the tools as requirements changed. That is the value of a long-term partnership: knowing the property, its operations and the tools already in place.
