Webproperty Simple offers Vacation Rental website design, online reservation software
integration, and search engine optimization for property managers.
This video demonstrates the various ways in which a vacation rental can be found and booked
by online guests.
I will focus on our demo website, which will give you an idea of how a typical guest would
find and book a property on your website.
Search drop down lists can be added to the menu bar or sidebar, allowing guests to filter
by bedrooms or bathrooms, or whatever filter you prefer.
The search results page displays an overview of properties, with thumbnails, the property
name, a brief description, bedrooms, baths, perhaps whether or not the unit is pet friendly,
and the rates. This page is helpful is helpful in allowing guests to compare and contrast
units before checking availability.
The sort results filters properties by any number of search criteria that you have in
this grid. We can search by daily rate, or sort by bedrooms. here we have defaulted to
bedrooms, and you can see that the list's order has changed. When a guest finds a unit
that he likes, he will typically click the check availability button, where he is then
taken to the property detail page.
As soon as the check availability button is clicked, the guest is taken to a real time
calendar, for the property on a property detail page also displaying a photo gallery, property
description, amenities, rates, the calendar itself, policies, and a google map.
To book a property, the guest would simply enter dates in the calendar, click book now,
where he would then be taken to a property information screen where he may enter number
of adults, children, number of pets and any other add-ons such as maid service that you
might have setup in your system. He would then click the continue reservation button
to move forward to the credit card screen, where the credit card is processed, and the
booking is input into your system.
This concludes our Vacation Rental Website video demonstration. Whether you are interested
