Hello, I read through your requirements carefully this is not just a brochure site, but a direct-booking STR website with real operational automation, calendar sync, and guest workflows. That’s exactly the kind of focused build I specialize in. Relevant experience I’ve built and supported short-term rental and booking-based platforms with: * Direct bookings + Stripe payments * Airbnb / VRBO two-way calendar sync (iCal + API-based where available) * Automated guest communication (pre-arrival, during stay, post-stay) * Guest portals and restricted access flows * Simple upsell / affiliate product linking for in-property items I’m happy to share examples of similar booking and STR-related work and walk you through the platform choice before we start. Let me know if you’d like to discuss details or future expansion plans. Best, Jenifer

Hi there, I understand you need a standalone, mobile-friendly STR site with direct bookings, secure payments, guest automation, and two-way Airbnb/VRBO calendar syncing. I’ve built similar single-property sites on WordPress with a custom booking layer, Stripe payments, and calendar integration via ICS/API. My approach: fast, secure front-end; on-site booking with Stripe; reliable two-way calendar sync; guest accounts with WiFi access gates; automated emails (pre-arrival, during stay, post-stay); and a flexible “Shop the House” catalog with affiliate links or direct checkout. Admin dashboard for bookings, guests, emails, and products, plus easy content/photo updates. Platform: WordPress with bespoke plugins (or a lean custom build if preferred). Timeline: 4-6 weeks. Budget: 650-750 USD. Examples of similar sites can be shared on request. Next steps: share hosting, branding, and must-haves so I can firm milestones and pricing. Are you open to a WordPress-based solution with a custom booking/automation setup, and do you have preferred payment gateway and calendar sync specifics (Airbnb/VRBO)? What is your preferred payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)? Do you want direct on-site checkout or a cart-based flow via WooCommerce? Which calendar sources should sync with (Airbnb, VRBO), and do you want two-way ICS syncing or API syncing? Do you want guest login to access WiFi and house details? What email automation level do you want (pre-arrival, during stay, post-stay) and

Hi, I understand the unique challenge of creating a seamless, user-friendly website that not only supports direct bookings but expertly syncs with Airbnb/VRBO while automating guest interactions. With extensive experience in custom web development, payment gateway integration, and API synchronization, I am confident I can craft a mobile-friendly STR site tailored to your single property needs.

Implementing two-way calendar syncing, guest login tied to WiFi access, and a compelling “Shop the House” feature with affiliate or direct checkout options aligns perfectly with my technical skills in PHP, WordPress, and API integrations. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. This project can be delivered efficiently with mobile responsiveness and automated guest emails working smoothly. Which payment processors do you prefer for the direct booking and “Shop the House” checkout integration? Best regards, Asad
