All you need for your Vacation Rental website
The problem with most website builders like those from GoDaddy, Wix or Squarespace is that they don't even have their own booking engine. A fully integrated booking process is the absolute basis for every website with vacation rentals. You don't just want to display your vacation rentals and holiday homes, but you also want to receive bookings for your vacation rentals from your website. A website builder for vacation rentals must be able to do much more than just a website with a simple booking engine. We explain what you need and why we have the complete solution especially for vacation rentals.
Basically, it's very simple: people come to your website and want to know what vacation rentals you have, where they are, what amenities they have and how much they cost. Your personal presentation or pretty design details are not really their primary interest. Because remember, people scour thousands of websites looking for the perfect vacation rental. So you have little time to convince the crowd.
The selection is not that big: There are the classic website builders such as Wix or GoDaddy. You can then add a small booking form for the vacation rentals to them. But that's still a long way from a perfect website builder that vacation rentals need. The providers of many property management systems such as Smoobu, Hostfully or Hostaway often also offer their own small website solution. However, these often lack the advertising options of classic website builders. With LODGEA, on the other hand, you get the connection to property management systems such as Smoobu, Hostfully, Hostaway and also all the advertising options with search engine optimization, seamless integration into Facebook and Instagram and automatic analysis with Google Analytics.
First of all, you need to sign up for our vacation rental website builder. You can easily do that with our free 30-day trial version. You then connect your property management system, i.e. the program with which you also control Airbnb, to our system. We will then synchronize your vacation rentals and holiday homes. You can then register an internet address with us for testing free of charge and design the homepage of your vacation rentals as you wish. If everything is the way you want, you can connect your own internet address or domain to our system. After that, your website is already online.
Just having a website for vacation rentals is not enough. Your website is probably just a small fish in the big tank of many booking sites. Although our website builder is already optimized to the maximum from the start, you must of course also direct visitors to your website and convince them to book with you. With our integrated payment processing, we offer you the possibility, for example, that your guests can pay securely online. And not just with credit cards, but also with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Giropay, iDEAL and many others. This increases the likelihood that someone will book with you enormously. In addition, we have integrated marketing, so you can easily and quickly advertise your vacation rentals on Instagram, Facebook and Google. With our simple connection to Google Analytics, you can always keep an eye on the success of your vacation rental website..

"Having shifted our business from eCommerce to holiday rental, we have been looking for a Shopify equivalent in the hospitality world but couldn’t find one. Instead, service providers here are quite fragmented, each focusing only on a certain part of the job. While there is no lack of offers for property management systems and dynamic pricing tools (in fact too many), we’re surprised to learn that to build a decent website, you still have to rely on an agency unless you are tech-savvy. We were thrilled to learn about LODGEA which promised to fill this missing gap. The tools are intuitive and easy to use. The integration with other backend systems is seamless. The instructions are clear. But when you run into trouble, they also promptly provide personal support. We would highly recommend LODGEA."

"Hi, I'm George from Infinity Apartments in Liverpool. We've been using LODGEA for about 2 years and we love the new format with its preset templates and drag-and-drop widgets. Managing pages and adding widgets is easy for our multi-faceted serviced accommodation business. With LODGEA templates, we've created a great landing page that directs different types of guests to the properties they want to book.
This has been a game changer for us, allowing us to create separate pages for contractors, party people, and visitors to the city. We're thrilled with what the guys at LODGEA have created and how it has made building our bespoke website so much easier."
