Direct booking site development

Tools
1

I have my first draft of a direct booking site and would like any feedback you feel like giving.

https://www.bondstreetstoop.com/

This site was created through the Hospitable systems site builder, which is quite basic unfortunately but at least it’s integrated with all my bookings and should be pretty painless to manage.

I would love to have created some content pages, like “things to do”, “favorite restaurants” etc. but they don’t have that feature yet.

Anyhoo…let me know your thoughts.

Are you able to input direct booking contact info on that site? It looks like you can just link to Facebook and Insta, and need to be a member of those sites to contact you. I thought the whole idea of a direct booking site was so guests could book with you directly.

Also, because your interiors look so similar to one another, perhaps you should give them more distinctive names?

Oh, duh, my bad.

@Justarock Your photos look a bit washed out, need a bit more contrast to “pop”. However, that may just be my computer display.

Otherwise looks good.

The part that reads " Bond Street Stoop - Fells Point
Short term rentals in the heart of the Fells Point neighborhood, close to restaurants, the National Aquarium and more!"

takes some effort to read, especially as the “slideshow” changes the background of what I’m reading. A bolder, different colored font, or moving it to the top white banner area would be an improvement. I’d also add some more image to the slideshow or just choose 1. The Facebook link is non-specific; it opens the profile of whoever is clicking (I landed on my FB profile).

Overall it’s very nice, though.

Anyone looking for something similar for a Relaxing Beach House? RelaxingBeachHouse.

my only recommendation is to add names to your listing titles to make them easier for guests to distinguish and less of a mouthful. We know they’re in Fells Point, a snappy name would help with advertising. Don’t worry - descriptions will grab the SEO points :slight_smile:
