From a Design Studio's Concept to a Live Estate Website
BothAssociates designed a new website for The Burrow Farm Estate, a 500-acre private estate near Henley-on-Thames. We built it, launched it and look after it today.
The Burrow Farm Estate: A Build With an Agency Partner
The Client
The Burrow Farm Estate is a private estate in the Hambleden Valley, near Henley-on-Thames, with six luxury properties that guests rent individually or as a whole, for private stays, retreats, events and film shoots.
The Project
BothAssociates, the studio behind the estate’s brand and website design, partnered with us to build and launch the site. We turned their Figma designs into a custom WordPress website, connected the estate’s booking platform, and continue to run its security, support and improvements.
The Challenge
The designs were ambitious: full-bleed photography, layered carousels, galleries with captions and full-screen overlays, and a video hero, all of which had to stay true to the design on every screen size.
The estate takes bookings through Hostaway, so the site needed to pass visitors cleanly into search and availability without rebuilding the booking engine.
And the timeline was tight. The client wanted to be live within weeks, and the studio needed a partner who would follow its designs precisely and handle content changes and requests along the way.
Our Approach
Our job was to make the design studio look good: build exactly what was designed, raise issues early, and keep the client's team in control of its content.
True to the Design
We built every template from the studio’s Figma files and reviewed it on desktop, tablet and mobile, adjusting layouts where a design needed a different treatment on smaller screens.
Content Types That Fit the Estate
Accommodation, spaces and facilities are structured content, each with its own carousel text, images, galleries and captions, so the team updates one place and every page that shows it follows.
Booking Without Rebuilding It
Hostaway’s search widget sits on the accommodation page and every property links to its own availability calendar, so guests move from browsing to booking in one step.
A Hero That Loads Well
The homepage hero takes an image, an uploaded video with a poster image, or a video embedded from the client’s video host, so the film plays without slowing the first view.
Change Requests, Handled
We worked through the studio’s and the client’s change requests during the build, from gallery captions and full-screen pop-ups to navigation changes, and released them before launch.
Secure and Measured From Launch
Security hardening, a renamed login, cookie consent, form protection and enquiry storage, 24/7 uptime monitoring, and the tags the estate’s marketing partners asked for.
The Results

A Partnership With BothAssociates
BothAssociates owned the brand, the design and the client relationship. We owned the build, the launch and the technical support. Issues were tracked in a shared project space, the studio and the client reviewed everything on staging, and the estate never had to manage two suppliers. It is how we work with agencies: as a delivery partner that complements their team.
