Short Term Rental Direct Booking Website

Job ID: 39669198

Budget: $750 – $1,500 AUD

Hello, I am seeking a graphic designer and web developer to build a new direct booking website for my short term rental property.

I need a new logo and the website built in Wordpress in a modern and minimalist style that integrates with the uplisting.io booking platform (APIs available). I want it to stand out and make guests want to book with us. Ideally it will be built using a low code Wordpress framework that I can maintain minor edits myself. There is only one property and the website must showcase this property, ideally as a beautiful single page scrolling website.

The website should include:

Instant visual impact:
- Professional photos showcasing the property should be present throughout the website

Clear Booking Path:
- Live Availability and Pricing Calendar via uplisting.io integration
- Booking summary and confirmation
- Ability to take payment (via Stripe) and make bookings via integration with uplisting.io

Property Details and Amenities
- Key features (free wifi, air-conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, and parking)
- Room description (1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen, lounge)

- Things to Do: taken from our existing guide book
- Restaurant Recommendations: taken from our existing guide book

Aggregated Guest Reviews
- Star-ratings and extracts from Airbnb, booking.com, VRBO and google business profile reviews.

Policies & FAQs
- House Rules: checkin/check-out, noise policy, maximum occupancy, no pets allowed, and other rules from our guide book
- Cancellation Policy: same as Airbnb strict policy
- FAQs: early or late arrival, nearby grocery stores, what to do in emergency, etc

Contact & Support
- Ability for guests to contact us via WhatsApp messaging or email

SEO:
- It should also be optimised for search engines

I can provide professional photos of the property and area, as well as our current local guide book.
