Fern Verhuur

Digitizing Event Equipment Rentals with a Custom WordPress Platform

Project Snapshot

Background

Fern Verhuur is a Netherlands-based rental business providing event equipment such as speakers, microphones, and speaker stands. The client needed a modern digital platform that could replace manual or offline rental processes and make it easier for customers to browse equipment and place rental requests online. The goal was to build a professional, easy-to-use rental website that improved customer accessibility and streamlined operations.

The Challenge

Fern Verhuur required a solution that could showcase rental equipment clearly with images and specifications, allow customers to select rental dates and check availability, work seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, be easy to manage for non-technical staff, and support business growth and increased rental volume. The challenge was to combine usability with reliable rental functionality on WordPress.

• Build a WordPress-based rental website
• Create a structured and visually clear equipment catalog
• Implement a booking and rental system with date selection
