Day 1
You send us your details
Fill out a 5-minute form: photos, property name, location, Airbnb link, your story. That's all we need from you.
How it works
Your direct booking site, live in 7 days.
You send us your details. We build, launch, and host your site. You start collecting direct bookings. That's the whole process.
The 7-day build
From request to live in one week
Day 2
We design your site
We design your site around your property, using your own photos, not generic stock.
Day 4
You review and approve
You see your site. Tell us what to tweak. One round of revisions included.
Day 6
We connect everything
We connect your calendars with Airbnb and VRBO, set up guest payments, and configure your domain and business email.
Day 7
Your site goes live
Your direct booking site is live. Bookings come straight to you. We're done, but still here if you need us.
What we need from you
Five minutes of your time. That's it.
We've done this enough times to know exactly what we need. No back-and-forth. No surprise requests. Send us these five things on day one and we handle everything else.
Your photos (or we'll use the ones from your Airbnb listing)
Property name and one paragraph about what makes it special
Address and a Google Maps link
Your existing Airbnb or VRBO link (so we can connect your calendar)
A way to accept card payments, or we'll help you set one up. Takes about 10 minutes.
That's it. We don't need your hosting, your domain registrar password, or anything technical.
What we handle
Everything else, on us.
The technical work most hosts don't want to touch.
Custom design
Built around your property, your photos, and your brand.
Calendar sync setup
Two-way sync with Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. Bookings on any platform block the dates everywhere.
Payment processing
Set up so guest payments deposit straight to your bank.
Hosting & SSL
Fast hosting, secure connection, free SSL certificate. All included.
Domain & email
We buy your domain and set up a business email on it, like hello@yourrental.com. Already have a domain? We use that instead.
Ongoing updates
Email us anytime. We update photos, prices, copy. No DIY.
After launch
We don't disappear after the build.
Most agencies build your site and vanish. We stay. Your monthly plan covers ongoing updates, your domain and email, calendar troubleshooting, payment support, and any small tweaks you want. If your photos change, your rates change, or you want to add a new section, just email us.
Update requests within 24 hrs
Calendar sync monitored automatically
Cancel anytime. Your data leaves with you.

Process questions
What hosts ask before getting started
- Can it really be done in 7 days?
- Yes. We've built our process around it. The only thing that delays it is waiting on photos or details from you. Send everything on day one and your site is live by day seven.
- What if I don't like the design?
- One round of revisions is included. We'll adjust colors, layout, copy, and photos based on your feedback. Most hosts approve the first version.
- Do I need to know anything technical?
- No. If you can fill out a form and check email, you're good. We handle hosting, your domain and business email, code, payments, and calendar setup.
- Can I see the design before it's live?
- Yes. We send you a preview link on day four. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
- What happens to my Airbnb listing?
- Nothing. Keep it. Your direct booking site works alongside Airbnb and VRBO, not instead of them. The calendar sync prevents double bookings automatically.
