Websites for holiday lets and self-catering: your properties on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first
You already keep your properties up to date for the booking platforms. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to score 100 on Google's own test, where a family planning a week away finds the property, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.
What it is like now
- The booking platforms take 15% and own the guest.
- Your own site has a calendar that is never right.
- Repeat guests want to book direct and cannot.
What we build for holiday lets
- Live availability synced with the platform calendars
- Direct booking with deposits and balance reminders
- Guest accounts with rebooking, which is where the margin is
- Property pages that rank for the place, not just the platform
What it looks like in practice
The booking platforms take 15% and own the guest; the owner's site has a calendar that is never right. We build live availability synced with the platform calendars, direct booking with deposits and balance reminders, guest accounts with rebooking, which is where the margin is, and property pages that rank for the place, not just the platform.
What a website costs for holiday lets and self-catering
Most holiday lets need the Growth tier, from €10,000, delivered in 6 weeks, paid 40% to start, 40% at staging sign-off, 20% at launch. That includes your properties fed from your own system, a page per property, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, 100/100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.
After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, backups, updates, monitoring, unlimited content edits and two hours of development a month, cancel any month. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €350 and the free audit names them.
Typical ticket for a property in your trade is €500 to €5,000 a booking; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the booking platforms covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.
Questions holiday lets ask
- Will the calendar clash with the platforms?
- No. It syncs both ways with the platform calendars, so a booking anywhere blocks the dates everywhere.
- Can guests pay a deposit and the balance later?
- Yes. Deposit at booking, balance reminder and payment before arrival, refunds under your policy.
- How do we get repeat guests to book direct?
- A guest account, a rebooking email after the stay, and a direct-booking price they cannot get on the platform.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers
- Where is the work actually done?
- Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
- Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
- You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
- What happens on day 31?
- The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
- Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
- You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote.
- What does Google's own speed test say about it?
- 100/100 at launch on every build we ship, or you do not pay the final instalment. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site, right now.
