WordPress / E-commerce
A curated marketplace of Australian food & wine experiences on WordPress + WooCommerce, with real-time Rezdy bookings and an AI concierge chatbot.
01Overview
A marketplace where each experience builds itself from a single form.
A curated marketplace of food & wine experiences across Australia, built on WordPress (Divi + WooCommerce). I built a custom Experience post type with structured ACF fields, taxonomies and a dedicated single template, and integrated real-time bookings via Rezdy.
I also developed an AI concierge chatbot that helps visitors discover and book experiences. Ongoing work covers the staging → live deployment workflow, image/CDN optimisation, caching and overall site performance.

02The challenge
Every new food-and-wine experience used to need developer time to lay out and style. The team wanted to publish and update listings themselves — with images, featured picks and filtering — and be told the moment a linked source went down.
03Our approach
I built a custom Experience content type with all the fields and styling baked in, so a fully-styled listing is created just by entering data. Around it sit an AI concierge and a custom filter for discovery, plus a monitor that fetches each experience’s source URL on a schedule and emails an admin the moment one breaks.
