Luxury Custom Homebuilder

www.labonteconstruction.com is a luxury custom homebuilder in Palm Beach County, FL. Their existing website was built with WordPress and was difficult for the client to manage without hiring a developer to make every change. They wanted a website with a fresh look and more movement. I suggested we build it on Squarespace so that they would be able to make changes and updates themselves. The result was a beautiful new look built and launched within 2 weeks.

Squarespace + Lodgify + Custom Database Application

www.trdavis.com is a luxury vacation rental property manager with a couple of dozen properties in California, Utah, and Mexico. Their existing website was built with WordPress and was difficult for the client to manage without hiring a developer to make every change. They wanted to add a direct booking engine to their website which would sync with VRBO and AirBnB. They also wanted the website to highlight their property management services to potential new owners. They also needed a method and an area on the site where property owners could see information about their bookings and view reports. And lastly, they wanted to maintain a list of renters and inquirers for marketing purposes.

After researching booking engines, we decided upon Lodgify. The booking engine is solid, it has fair pricing, and importantly, the calendar syncs with VRBO and AirBnB and works flawlessly. Lodgify can be used as a standalone website, however, the website builder and templates are not as robust and easy to use as Squarespace. I loaded all of the properties into Lodgify, then linked them in the navigation and in pages in Squarespace. I also built a database using Knack to track properties, owners, renters, and inquirers and embedded it in a members area in Squarespace. The final solution is robust and elegant.
