Lodgify website design
A custom Lodgify website, built to rank and take direct bookings.
Keep Lodgify for your calendar, rates, payments and channel sync. I design a fully custom WordPress website around it, add Lodgify's booking box or search widget, and write every page so Google and AI assistants can actually read it.
100+ five-star reviews on Fiverr. See my profileCan I use Lodgify with my own custom website?
Yes. Lodgify provides embeddable widgets (a Book Now button, a booking box, a search box and an availability calendar) that work on any website, including WordPress. The widget handles availability, pricing and checkout inside Lodgify, while the WordPress page around it carries the design and the SEO content. Reservations land in your Lodgify inbox and sync to Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com as usual.
Lodgify website builder vs a custom website
The built-in option is quick to launch. A custom website connected to Lodgify is for when you want a site that stands out, holds more content and gives you full control over SEO.
| Feature | Lodgify website builder | Custom website + Lodgify |
|---|---|---|
| Design and branding | Lodgify templates with limited layout changes | Fully custom design built around your brand and properties |
| Pages and content | Property pages plus a handful of standard pages | Destination guides, landing pages, blog and any page structure you need |
| SEO control | Title and description fields inside a fixed structure | Full control of URLs, headings, schema, internal links and page speed |
| Bookings and payments | Lodgify checkout | Still Lodgify checkout, through the embedded widget |
How I connect Lodgify to your website
The right method depends on your portfolio, your Lodgify setup and your budget. Platforms change their integration options often, so I confirm what your account supports before quoting.
-
Booking box on each property page
Lodgify's booking box sits beside the property content, showing live availability and the total for the chosen dates. Checkout runs inside Lodgify.
-
Search widget for multi-property sites
The search box lets guests pick dates and party size on your homepage or area pages and see which rentals are free.
-
Book Now buttons and calendars
Simpler setups use Lodgify's Book Now button or availability calendar, styled to match the site.
-
Replacing the Lodgify-hosted site
If guests currently find you on a Lodgify-built site, I map every old URL to its new page, redirect where possible and unpublish the rest, so the two sites never compete.
SEO for Lodgify websites
The booking tool converts. The page around it ranks. Here is what I do on every Lodgify build so Google, Bing and AI assistants can understand and recommend your properties.
- Every fact guests search for (bedrooms, sleeps, pets, pool, distance to the beach, check-in time) is written into the WordPress page, because text inside the Lodgify widget is not read as your page's content.
- A unique description for each property instead of the text already on Airbnb and Vrbo.
- The widget script loads lazily with reserved space, so it doesn't slow the page or shift the layout.
- VacationRental and FAQ schema on property pages, with name, location, capacity and amenities stated consistently.
- Destination pages for the searches guests actually type, such as pet-friendly cabins in your area, linked to the right properties.
- One site only: the old Lodgify-hosted site is redirected or taken offline so two versions don't split your rankings.

Lodgify website questions
Something else about your Lodgify setup? Send me a message and I'll answer within a day.
Yes. Lodgify's widgets are embed codes that work on any WordPress site. I add them to your pages, style them to match your design and test a real booking end to end before launch.
A custom site gives you control over what rankings depend on: page structure, written content, internal links, schema and speed. Nobody can guarantee positions, but it removes the ceiling a template puts on your SEO.
Yes. Lodgify remains your booking system: calendar, rates, payments and channel manager. The new website replaces only the front end guests see. It's worth checking that your Lodgify plan includes the widgets you want to use.
It stays live until the new site launches. Then it's redirected or unpublished so guests and search engines find one version, and old links are mapped to the right new pages.
Yes. Payments, confirmation emails and guest messaging stay in Lodgify exactly as you have them set up today.
