Sign in with Open the demo business. It is a throwaway demo account, reset every day.
The links in each section below open those pages once you are signed in.
A booking button
The Tideframe Bookings block in button mode. It opens the booking flow over the page, on this site’s own domain, and the guest never leaves.
Live here: the sunset paddle.
<!-- wp:tideframe/booking {"product":"sunset-paddle","mode":"button"} /-->An inline booking panel
The same block in inline mode: dates, times and prices sit in the page, and the guest books without a pop-up.
Live here: the guided cove tour.

A calendar
Calendar mode shows a month of availability first, which suits rooms and anything with nightly prices.
Live here: the garden queen room.

The shortcode
For classic editors and page builders, the shortcode does what the block does.
Live here: kayak hire, from a shortcode.
One header and footer for both sites
Tideframe Connect adds two widget areas, Tideframe Bookings header and footer, under Appearance › Widgets. Whatever sits there becomes the booking site’s header and footer within a minute of saving, so guests see one hotel, not two websites.
Live here: open the booking site and compare its header and footer with this one.
The hosted booking site and the guest portal
Every business gets a full booking site with its own pages (About, Explore, Contact), a cart and checkout. After booking, each guest gets a private guest page for their booking.

Questions from the website
A question sent from the booking site’s contact page arrives in the business admin as a website question, ready to answer by email.
The contact form on this WordPress site is a demonstration and sends nothing.
Visit counting and error reports
Connect counts visits and clicks without cookies (no IP address, no user agent stored) and reports PHP and browser errors to Tideframe Digital in signed batches, so problems are fixed before anyone writes in.
Nothing to click: it runs quietly on every page once the portal turns it on.
Search: SEO, sitemaps and structured data
Each page’s SEO settings and content checks go to the portal for an SEO audit. Sitemaps are served without the browser-styling line Chrome is retiring, and every booking widget adds Product and Offer data for search engines.
Sitemaps are switched off here: this concept site asks search engines not to index it. On a client’s site they list every page, and Connect serves them without the styling line.
Request a change
A business owner signed in to WordPress through the portal sees a Request a change button. Their note becomes a care request for the Tideframe Digital team, attached to this site.
You will not see the button here: it appears only for a signed-in client account.
Sign in to WordPress from the portal
Clients open wp-admin from the portal in one click. Connect checks a short-lived signed token and never creates accounts on its own.
Shown in the portal, not on the public site.
WooCommerce booking reference
When a hotel sells through WooCommerce, links from a guest’s booking carry a short reference that Connect writes onto the order, so shop sales line up with bookings.
This site has no WooCommerce, so the module stays inert: it loads nothing and stores nothing.
Payments on the sandbox
Payments run through Stripe in test mode. Book anything on this site and pay with the test card below; nothing is charged.

Driftwood Cove is a studio concept. The booking engine runs on a sandbox: test cards only, nothing is charged, and the demo data is reset every day.
