Hostaway website design

A custom Hostaway website, with your listings as real, indexable pages.

Hostaway runs your reservations, pricing and channels. I build the website on top: a fully custom WordPress design connected to Hostaway through its API or booking engine, with every property page written and structured for search.

Can I use Hostaway with a custom WordPress website?

Yes. Besides its own Booking Website builder, Hostaway offers booking engine widgets and a public API. Through the API, a WordPress site can show your Hostaway listings, availability and rates on your own pages and send bookings back into Hostaway. Property details become real HTML on your domain, which is the strongest position for Google and AI search.

Hostaway Booking Website vs a custom website

The built-in option is quick to launch. A custom website connected to Hostaway is for when you want a site that stands out, holds more content and gives you full control over SEO.

How I connect Hostaway to your website

The right method depends on your portfolio, your Hostaway setup and your budget. Platforms change their integration options often, so I confirm what your account supports before quoting.

  1. Hostaway API

    Listings, photos, amenities, rates and availability are pulled from Hostaway and shown on your WordPress pages, so changes in Hostaway appear on the site automatically.

  2. Booking engine widgets

    Hostaway's search and booking widgets can be embedded for date search and checkout when a full API build isn't needed.

  3. WordPress connector plugins

    WordPress plugins that connect to the Hostaway API can speed up a build. I pick the approach that fits your portfolio and budget, and explain the trade-offs first.

  4. Moving off the Hostaway Booking Website

    If you already have a Hostaway-built site, I map its URLs to the new pages and redirect them so existing rankings carry over.

SEO for Hostaway websites

The booking tool converts. The page around it ranks. Here is what I do on every Hostaway build so Google, Bing and AI assistants can understand and recommend your properties.

  • Property pages rendered as real HTML from API data, each with its own URL, title, headings and schema, rather than a listing feed inside a frame.
  • Rendered pages checked with Google Search Console's URL Inspection to confirm Google sees the property text.
  • Your own descriptions layered on top of Hostaway data, so pages aren't duplicates of your Airbnb listings.
  • Location, capacity and amenities in VacationRental schema that matches what the page says.
  • Search, filter and checkout URLs kept out of the index to avoid thousands of thin pages.
  • Portfolio-scale internal linking: area pages, collections such as pet-friendly or beachfront, and property pages linked logically.

From first call to launch

You review everything on a private staging link. Nothing goes live until we've tested a real booking through Hostaway.

  1. Discovery call

    We go through your properties, your Hostaway setup, your brand and the guests you want to reach.

  2. Design

    I design your homepage and property pages and share them for feedback before building.

  3. Build and connect Hostaway

    I build the site in WordPress, write the page structure for search and connect your Hostaway booking tools.

  4. Test and revise

    We make a test booking together, check it lands in Hostaway, and adjust anything you want changed.

  5. Launch and SEO setup

    Launch on your domain, redirects from any old site, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, sitemap submission and a walkthrough.

Hostaway website questions

Something else about your Hostaway setup? Send me a message and I'll answer within a day.

Hostaway offers a booking engine with embeddable widgets and a public API, and there are WordPress plugins that connect to that API. I choose the setup that fits your site and confirm it with a test booking.

Yes. Rates, availability and listing data come from Hostaway, so changes you make there appear on the site without editing WordPress.

Yes. I rebuild the content on the new site, map every old URL to its new page and set up redirects, so bookings and search traffic continue without a gap.

Usually a little, because there is more to set up and test. For larger portfolios it's worth it, since every property gets a proper indexable page. For a few properties, widgets are often enough. I'll recommend one in your quote.

Yes. Website bookings are Hostaway reservations, so Hostaway blocks the dates on every connected channel.
