Simple Home Services Booking Site

I’m launching a new platform that connects households with trusted domestic help, cooks, babysitters and elderly-care providers, and I need a clean, custom-built website that makes booking effortless on any device.

Scope
• Build a mobile-first site with five core pages: Home, Services (show categories with starting prices), Book Now, Become a Worker, and Contact / WhatsApp.
• On the Home page the dominant call-to-action must be “Book a service”.
• Booking flow:
– Visitor chooses a service (Domestic Help, Cook, Babysitter, Elderly Care, etc.) and location from a simple dropdown.
– Form collects name, phone, service type (Instant / Schedule / Monthly), and preferred date & time via an inline calendar.
– One-tap WhatsApp button pre-fills the same details.
– Submission reaches me instantly by email and/or WhatsApp.
• Design language: classic, professional, minimal; quick to load even on 3G.
• Code base: a lightweight custom solution is my stated preference, but if you see strong reasons to employ WordPress or Shopify in a similarly lean way, explain the trade-off.
• Site must be easy for me to update (prices, text, images) without touching code.
. SEO Optimization

Deliverables
1. Responsive front-end (HTML5, CSS3, vanilla JS or comparable lightweight framework).
2. Back-end script or low-code service that relays booking data to both email and WhatsApp.
3. CMS-ready structure or clear instructions so I can edit content later.
4. One round of post-launch tweaks for polish and speed optimisation (Core Web Vitals green).

Acceptance criteria
• All forms work on mobile and desktop, error-free.
• Home page loads in under 2 s on 4 G; under 3 s on 3 G (Lighthouse).
• Booking confirmation reaches the admin email/WhatsApp in real time.
• Visual style matches the classic, professional mood with no clutter.

If this sounds like the kind of concise, high-performing build you excel at, let’s talk timelines and the tech stack you’d choose.
