This is a legitimate concern from hosts, and a main reason many choose to stay on booking platforms. There's good news though!

Direct booking systems exist that offer hosts and guests the ability to protect their reservations :) Not only that, Guest Screening options offer peace of mind by matching guest details with social media profiles and other vetting checks, empowering hosts with more data to make informed decisions about who they let stay at their properties.

Ultimately, there's not greater peace of mind than knowing that no overheard entity will punish a host for choosing to decline a guest for whatever reason :)

Also keep in mind that first direct guests will most likely have already stayed previously via booking platforms.

All client sites are built using Wordpress, it's the most popular platform on the web and one of, if not the best content management system and perfect for SEO.

Wordpress is super user-friendly and gives you the ability to easily edit and update your pages, we also provide training if you choose to update the site yourself :)

The cost of a project is determined by several factors including the size and complexity of the project. Once our service proposal is ready, we'll jump on a call to discuss and provide a detailed pricing sheet before any work begins.
