What you configure, and what needs code

Configuration only

  • The hotel's name and the page's title and description.
  • The words of every section.
  • The lit facade: one window for each room, with its number and a few words about it.
  • The kinds of room: a photo, a paragraph, short facts, and a rate as text.
  • The bar, the street and what is near it, and a table of what to know before arriving.
  • A guest quote, or none.
  • The enquiry drawer: its words, the guest numbers it offers, and the message it writes.
  • Address, as lines of text.
  • Contact destination (email, WhatsApp, or a booking link) and a phone number.
  • Photos.
  • Indexing and canonical site URL. A production build stops without the URL; deploying through Vercel's Git integration sets it for you.

Needs a code change

  • Page layout and section order.
  • Colour palette and typography.
  • A second language.

Support, updates and deployment

14 calendar days of email support from the order date, for installation and the Vercel Git-integration deployment documented in the package. There is no response-time promise, and customization work, other hosts, and general development consulting are outside it.

Your purchase includes access to the Ember repository and every future release published to it, including major versions and redesigns. Vlavera publishes releases when it chooses; there is no schedule. If the repository is ever retired, you get 30 days' notice by email and keep every release already published.

Deployment is tested on Vercel through its Git integration, on a plan that permits commercial use. The Vercel CLI path and other hosting environments are untested in this release.

The full guides (install, customize, assets, deploy and troubleshooting) are in the Ember repository, which you get access to when you buy. This page covers what you need to know before that.

License

  • Unlimited projects.
  • One license covers every website you build with Ember, for yourself or for your clients. There is no project limit.
  • You hand the finished project to its client, who may keep, host, maintain, and modify it indefinitely.
  • Before you hand over the code, give your client this license and get their agreement to its restrictions. They get that one site: they can't build another project from it or pass it on as a theme.
  • You may not sell, share or redistribute Ember as a theme, template or starter, whether you've changed it or not.
  • Keep the source in a private repository, never a public one. Putting the finished website online is fine; publishing its code is not.
  • Don't add anyone to the Ember repository or share your access to it. Your employees and contractors get the code from you privately, for example from your own private repository.
  • Before a website goes live commercially, you must replace the demo imagery with media you have the rights to use. This is a condition of the license.

What this release does not do

  • One hotel, one page, one language (English).
  • No CMS: content lives in a TypeScript file. Changing it is an edit and a deploy.
  • No bookings, payments, rates engine, or availability. The enquiry drawer writes a message for the visitor to send; it does not know whether a room is free, and a rate is text you write.
  • The drawer's choices travel only in an email link or a WhatsApp link. With any other contact link its button opens the link and carries nothing.
  • No map and no directions link.
  • The example photographs are AI-generated, not photographed: replace them before a live commercial launch (a licence condition, not advice). The demo's guest quote and its measurements are invented, and a site that is switched on while still carrying them does not build.
