Need Some Suggestions for Creating My Own Direct Booking Site
Hello Everyone. I currently have a STR, for which I would like to create a direct booking site. What are the pros and cons and if y'all can share with me some recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Hey @James R., like @John Underwood said, Houfy can provide you with everything you need for a stand alone site but I don't believe that it allows you to have your own links like a .com address.
If you want that, then you can figure out an address for your site and look at Wordpress as a way to build it up. There are lots of widgets and plug in's for STRs available along with a lot of very nice themes. A lot of that is free.
