A website is a website, right? This is what most people think. However, it is definitively not true. In this article we are going to learn about the benefits of creating a vacation rental website through MyBooker vs. creating your own website using WordPress, Jumbla or other website creators.
MyBooker is a specialized vacation rental technology provider, this means that we go above and beyond what most others will do for you. We have integrated security features and use specialized content delivery systems to ensure that your website has every advantage in the competitive vacation rental market.
A website is like a car. You can buy the same car for a starting price for (X€) or you can buy that same car for (X€ x 10). They may both look pretty on the outside, but lift the hood or sit behind the wheel and you will surly feel and see the difference. This is the same for websites. Anyone can create a nice-looking web, but what it is worth if it’s not doing its job. Let’s get into the details.
CONTENT
MyBooker websites have been created and optimized to include all of the features that we know are important and are organized in a way to maximize customer interest. Include activities and point of interest in order to give your guests recommendations on local activities & restaurants.
Other websites may or may not include all of the features important in supporting and growing your business.
SPEED
MyBooker websites use special Content Delivery Networks to provide optimal service worldwide. This means that from whatever corner of the earth your guests are opening your website, it will be as quick and seamless as if the website was hosted locally.
This is not true with other providers. People think that all hosting website give equal results, I mean, hosting is hosting, right? Wrong again, websites that are hosted on a server sitting on one country will give good results locally and regionally, but customers from other parts of the world may not get the same speeds resulting in a useless website.
