Which direct booking website builder is best for YOU?

A direct booking website allows property owners to connect directly with guests, and have more control over their bookings by bypassing third-party booking platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. But if you’re new to the realm of website building, the task may seem daunting or even impossible to implement without hiring someone else to do it.
So we’re on a mission to empower rental property owners with the basics of a direct booking website, so that you can approach building one of your own with confidence. And even if you do decide to hire out the job, you’ll at least be well versed in the basics of what makes a great direct booking website and what features you’ll want to include in it.
Whether you're renting out single family homes, apartments, or geodesic domes, choosing the right website-building tool for you is crucial. So today, we'll explore three popular website-building options: WordPress, Squarespace, and built-in website builders from major Property Management Systems. We’ll discuss the pros and cons and pricing considerations for all three options.

thank you for your great videos! 🎉 I watch all of them several times. I rent out three cabins in Sweden, and are expanding to five in the summer of 2024 🤩 /Anna

Boostly charges $5000 for a Wordpress site you can hire someone to create for $400.

Great video! Quick question though are you able to integrate dynamic pricing such as pricelabs?

[@danman311]

Thanks for the great info. I’m setting up my first property and website. I’m wondering if you have your owned properties in an LLC? I’ve seen videos with recommendations to have and not have LLC for my STR.

Contact the one you recommended in a previous video and they have not responded. So there’s that … Floorspace - how long do they normally take to respond to inquiries?

Dang it! I am working with Lodgify for my PMS. I wish I would have viewed this video first. I may stick with it and switch next year.
