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 configure your booking platform, connect your calendars with Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com, set up guest payments, and set up 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.
You manage your property. We manage your direct-booking website.
Design and build
We design and build the whole site around your property, your photos, and your brand.
Booking platform setup
We configure RentalCal Pro, the booking platform behind your site: how guests book, pricing rules, and fees.
Calendars and payments
We connect Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com so dates block everywhere, and set up guest payments to deposit straight to your bank.
Domain, email, and hosting
We buy your domain, set up a business email on it, and host the site with SSL. Already have a domain? We use that instead.
Ongoing updates
Send us new photos, rates, or copy anytime and we update the site for you. No logins, no DIY.
Technical support
Calendar acting up? Payment question? Email us and one of us sorts it out. Personal support is part of the plan.
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, hosting, 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. You manage your property. We manage the website.
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.
