What I Do

Everything Your Rental
Needs to Win

From a single listing to a full portfolio — I handle the technical side so you can focus on hosting.

01

Direct Booking Website

A conversion-focused website that takes bookings commission-free. Synced live with all your channels. Built to turn visitors into paying guests.

02

OTA Listing Optimization

I optimize your Airbnb and Booking.com listings for search ranking and conversion — using real algorithm knowledge, not guesswork.

03

Channel Manager Setup

Full setup of Smoobu, Lodgify, Hostaway or your preferred PMS — calendars synced, pricing automated, double-bookings eliminated.

04

Dynamic Pricing Strategy

PriceLabs setup tailored to your market — your rates automatically respond to demand, season, local events and competition.

05

Guest Messaging Automation

Pre-arrival, check-in, mid-stay and review request messages — automated so every guest feels cared for without costing you time.

06

Full Co-Hosting Setup

The complete system end-to-end. I build and configure everything — from listings to guest experience. You own the property, I handle the rest.

About Lights

The person behind
your growth

I design direct booking websites for vacation rental owners who are tired of giving away their profits to booking platforms. Many hosts rely only on Airbnb or VRBO — losing control over their brand, their guest relationships, and their income. I help them take back that control.

With a custom direct booking website and the right systems in place, my clients keep more of their earnings, build real guest loyalty, and grow a business they truly own — not just rent space on someone else's platform.

"Every property owner deserves a brand they control, a guest list they own, and a future they build for themselves — not one decided by algorithms."

Why Every Vacation Rental Host Needs a Direct Booking Website

If 80% of your bookings come through Airbnb, you don't own a business. You rent space on someone else's platform. Here's how to change that.

FAQ

Questions Hosts
Always Ask Me

Everything you need to know before taking the next step.

Do I need to stop using Airbnb to work with you?
Not at all. The goal is to reduce your dependence on OTAs, not eliminate them. Most clients still use Airbnb and Booking.com — but instead of getting 90% of bookings through platforms, they shift to 50-60% direct over time. OTAs become a discovery tool, not your entire business.
I only have one property. Is it still worth it?
Absolutely. Even a single property doing $150/night at 70% occupancy loses around $5,700/year to OTA commissions. A direct booking website pays for itself within months of the first few direct bookings. Many of my best clients started with just one listing.
How long does the whole setup take?
Most setups go live within 14 days. The timeline depends on how quickly you provide the property details, photos and content. Once I have everything, the technical build is fast. You'll review and approve before anything goes live.
What if I'm not technical at all?
That's exactly who this service is designed for. You don't touch any code or settings. I handle the full technical setup — channel manager, website, pricing tools, automations — and hand you something that just works. If anything needs updating later, you contact me.
Will my direct booking website sync with my Airbnb calendar?
Yes. This is one of the most important parts of the setup. Your direct booking website connects to your channel manager (Smoobu, Lodgify, Hostaway etc.) which syncs with Airbnb, Booking.com and all other platforms in real time. No double bookings, no manual updates.
What happens after the site goes live?
On the Starter and Growth plans, you get 30 days of post-launch support. I monitor performance and fix any issues. On the Full Setup plan, I manage everything ongoing — pricing, listings, and performance reporting every month.
Do you only work with UK and US hosts?
No — I've worked with hosts in 11 countries including Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, Cyprus, Netherlands and Switzerland. If you have a short-term rental, I can help regardless of where it is.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
We work together until you're satisfied. I've never had a client leave unhappy — you've seen the reviews. Every project includes multiple rounds of revisions and I don't consider a project done until you're genuinely happy with it.
Will this help me get more bookings?
Yes. I improve how and where your property shows up across OTAs, optimize your pricing and availability, and make the guest experience seamless — so you're more likely to get booked and re-booked. Most clients see measurable improvement within the first 30 days of launch.
Can I keep my existing Airbnb and Booking.com accounts?
Absolutely. You continue using your current OTA accounts. I make sure everything is fully integrated and optimized. The goal isn't to abandon platforms — it's to add a direct booking channel alongside them so you're not 100% dependent.
How much time will this save me each week?
Most hosts spend hours each week managing calendars, adjusting pricing, and answering guest messages manually. After setup, the majority of this is automated — most clients reclaim 5-10 hours per week minimum.
How quickly will I see results?
Listing optimization improvements show up within days on Airbnb. Direct booking traffic takes a few weeks to build as Google indexes your site. Most clients start seeing consistent results within 30-60 days of going live.
What if I have multiple properties?
Multiple properties are no problem — in fact the setup becomes more valuable the more listings you have. Everything is managed from one central channel manager so you're not juggling separate calendars and pricing across each property manually.
Do you work with properties outside of Airbnb?
Yes. I work with Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia, Agoda and more. Whatever OTAs you're currently listed on, I can connect them all to a single channel manager so everything stays in sync automatically.
