Full-Stack Developer Needed: Hotel Room Booking Website (with Payment Integration)

Project Overview

I need a fully functional hotel booking website built for my hotel, Grand Palace Hotel, located in Multan, Pakistan. This is a single-property booking site (not a multi-hotel aggregator) — similar in style and functionality to Booking.com/Tripadvisor, but scoped to my one hotel.

I already have a complete design reference (homepage mockup) and a detailed feature specification document ready to share once we connect. The homepage design and color scheme (navy/gold/green) should be used as the visual foundation for the rest of the site.

Scope of Work
Pages to Build
Homepage (hero, search widget, amenities, featured rooms, reviews summary, map, footer)
Rooms listing page (filters + sort)
Room detail page (gallery, live pricing, availability calendar, book now)
Booking/checkout page (guest details, price breakdown, payment)
Payment integration (see below)
Booking confirmation page (reference number + emailed receipt)
Guest account area (sign up/login, my bookings, wishlist, profile)
Reviews system (submit + display with rating breakdown bars)
Admin dashboard (manage rooms, bookings, payments, reviews, promo codes, basic analytics)
Static pages: About, Contact, FAQs, Terms, Privacy Policy, Cancellation Policy
Key Functional Requirements
Real-time room availability with no double-booking, even under simultaneous requests
Dynamic pricing calculated automatically based on selected dates
Secure guest and admin authentication (role-based)
Automated email notifications (booking confirmation, cancellation, receipts)
Fully responsive (mobile/tablet/desktop)
SEO-friendly structure
Payment Integration (Required)
JazzCash and/or Easypaisa (local Pakistani payment methods) — must work
Stripe or PayPal for international card payments
Secure, PCI-compliant checkout — no raw card data stored on our server
Deliverables
Fully functional, deployed website (frontend + backend + database)
Admin dashboard access with credentials
Source code (handed over in a private GitHub repo)
Basic documentation on how to manage rooms, bookings, and pricing
2 weeks of post-launch bug-fix support
Preferred Tech Stack (open to your recommendation if you have a better/faster stack)
Frontend: React or Next.js + Tailwind CSS
Backend: Node.js/Express or Django
Database: PostgreSQL or MongoDB
Hosting setup: Vercel/Netlify + Render/Railway/AWS (or your suggestion)
Email: SendGrid or SMTP
What I Will Provide
Complete written feature specification document
Homepage design reference (image)
Hotel branding assets (logo, photos) once available
Text content for About Us, Policies, etc. (or can discuss content help separately)
