FOR INNS · RESORTS · B&Bs · CABINS
Stop paying commission on your own guests.
Travelers find you on the booking sites, then look you up. I build hand-coded websites for inns, resorts, and cabins that win that look, so they book direct and you keep the whole stay.
- Works with your booking engine
- Live in a week
01THE PIPELINE
From a search
to booked direct.
Follow one guest from the first search to a booking that’s all yours. Every stop on the way is something I build.
- 01THEY SEARCH
They search for the trip.
Not your name. What they actually want: cabins, a lake, a weekend near the park.
- 02FOUND ON GOOGLE
They find your site.
Your own site, at the top, next to your listing. Built and tuned to be found, then tuned again every month.
- 03NAMED BY AI
AI points them to you.
More travelers ask a chatbot where to stay. It reads your site to answer, so I write it so it can.
- 04SOLD
People don’t book the room. They book the place. Only your site can show it.
On a booking site you’re a thumbnail between competitors. Your site has room for the whole place: the lake at dusk, the porch, why you built it. How it looks and feels is what gets them to book.
- 05BOOKED DIRECT
They book direct.
The button opens the booking engine you already use. Your rates, your inventory, your guest.
- 06YOURS
You keep the whole stay.
No commission on any booking the site brings in. That’s the whole point.
02THE MONEY
Keep more.
Win more.
Your own site pays you two ways. You keep the commission on stays you already get, and you win stays you’d never have had.
AWHAT YOU KEEP
YOUR YEAREXAMPLE
Typical stay
Stays booked direct each month
Commission you’d have paid
$10,800a year in commission you keep
On 120 stays a year booked direct.
Example figures, not a promise. Booking.com averages about 15%. Expedia typically runs 15 to 30% for independent properties. Your contract sets the real rate.
BWHAT YOU WIN
Those were stays you already had.
The site’s real job is winning the ones you’d never have had.
Travelers who found you, looked, and booked because of what they saw. Those aren’t worth the commission. They’re worth the whole booking.
A SHIFTED STAY$90
the commission you save
A WON STAY$450
the whole booking, all of it new
One new guest a month is $5,400 a year, all of it new.

03THE MONTHLY
You run the inn.
The site runs itself.
Every month I read your report, sharpen the words on your site, and keep your Google listing current. It all happens in the background. You just watch the direct bookings add up.
Your report, every month.
In plain English: what travelers searched, how many visited, and how many clicked Book. That’s where you watch the direct bookings show up.
Found, month after month.
I read your report, then tune the words on your site and your Google listing so you keep showing up for the searches that book.
Text me a change. It’s done.
New rate, closed weekend, fresh photo. Same day.
04PRICING
One build.
One monthly.
One price for every property, from a three-room B&B to a lakeside resort. The monthly keeps it fast, current, and found, month after month.

05QUESTIONS
Straight
answers.
The questions innkeepers ask first. If yours isn’t here, ask me directly.
01Do you work with our booking system?
Yes. I connect your existing PMS or booking engine to the site. Bookings stay in your system, and I never touch your rates or inventory.
02Do I have to leave Expedia or Airbnb?
No. Keep your listings. They bring travelers in. Your site gives those same travelers a direct way to book when they look you up, which is the moment you keep the whole stay.
03What does it cost, all in?
$2,500 once, then $250 a month. That covers the build, the words, the domain, hosting, your Google listing, the monthly report, and tuning. No setup fees, no surprise invoices.
04How does “love it, or pay nothing” work?
We talk once, I build the whole site, and you see it finished at a live link. Love it, you pay and we launch. Don’t, you close the tab and owe me nothing.
05What if my rates or photos change?
Text me. Small changes like a new rate, a closed weekend, or a fresh photo are part of the monthly and done the same day.
06How long until it’s live?
About a week from our first call. Google takes longer to catch up. The monthly report shows you what travelers searched, how many visited, and how many clicked Book, so you watch it climb.
07Do I own it? What if I cancel?
You own everything: the design, the words, the code, the domain. Cancel the monthly anytime. I hand you every file and the keys, and your next developer can take it anywhere.
