Vacation Rental Website Builder
This client needed to hire a web developer to fix errors in their vacation rental property management software. I provided ongoing web development support for about a year before it was decided that a website redesign to build a custom solution was the right approach to take.
Website Redesign
We started over from scratch with a new web design, new database design and development and web programming to create a content management website builder.
API Integration
Bookerville API was integrated to manage property information to push property data to aggregators like HomeAway, VRBO, AirBnB… and then sync data on their website. Password protected admin tools were coded to be able to manage additional data not stored at Bookerville. A search engine was coded to be able to search for property by regions, check in data and many other amenities. We used a combination of Bookerville widgets to display data along with custom programming.
WordPress Development
Integrating a WordPress blog into their website redesign was part of project. Custom WordPress theme development included matching the theme on the blog with the main site. Integrating recent posts on non-WordPress pages was also custom coded.
WordPress Maintenance Service
WordPress maintenance and hosting is a long term support service for this client. I take care of ongoing code updates and security reviews, along with providing WordPress hosting and any support issues. As a small business owner without in house website support, this takes the stress of website management off their plate.

If “off the shelf” website builders don’t fit your projects needs, consider hiring a web programmer to build a custom website solution to fit your needs.
