Websites by property management system
A custom rental website for the PMS you already use.
Every PMS connects to a website differently: an API, an official plugin, a booking widget or an embedded booking page. That choice decides how your site looks, how fast it loads and how much Google and AI assistants can read. Pick your platform to see exactly how I build for it.
Do I need to change PMS to get a better website?
You don't need to switch PMS to get a better website. Lodgify, Hostaway, OwnerRez, Hostfully, Uplisting, Beds24, Smoobu, Tokeet and Smily (formerly BookingSync) can all power bookings on a custom WordPress website through an API, a plugin or a booking widget. Your PMS keeps handling availability, pricing, payments and channel sync, while the website handles design, content and SEO.
Choose your PMS
Each page covers how that platform connects to a custom website, what its built-in website can and can't do, the SEO approach, and answers to the questions its users ask.

PMS website questions
Using a platform that isn't listed? Tell me which one and I'll check what it supports.
Platforms with an API or an official WordPress plugin (such as Hostaway, OwnerRez, Beds24 and Smily) allow the deepest integration, with listings shown as real pages. Widget-based platforms such as Lodgify, Smoobu and Tokeet work well too: the widget handles booking while the page content handles SEO. The best PMS is usually the one your operations already run on.
No. I build around the PMS you already use, so your calendar, rates, payments and channel connections stay exactly as they are.
Probably. Most PMS and channel managers offer a booking widget, booking links or an API. Send me the name and I'll check what it supports before quoting.
Not if it is built properly. Search engines rank the content of your pages, not the booking widget. As long as every property fact is written into the page itself, a widget-based site can rank just as well.
Keep your PMS. Get a website that works as hard as you do.
