Attract direct bookings on your instant website
An eye-catching website is fundamental to a holiday rental business.
As part of our commitment to you, to help you attract bookings, manage bookings and manage guests, we provide you website options.
Website set-up costs vary, so Bookster provide a range of website types to suit your budget, and timescale.
Websites give a great first impression of your property and can help convert bookers to lookers and favourable guest reviews.
Using high-quality photos, logos and branding can really enhance the customer experience and build trust and Bookster has a choice of many instant websites that can be used to bring your business to life on the web.
You can host with Bookster or host on your own domain, to improve your conversion rate.
Bookster has lots of high-quality instant websites (previously called template websites) for you to choose from when you choose to make your website with us.
Not all websites are created equal, but our website research showed that Bookster instant websites perform well, especially when they are hosted on their own domain.
One reason for this is that we have incorporated Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) into the Instant Websites. This reduces the work you need to help your pages rank in search engines like Google and Bing.
