Designs that look stunning on screen.
Three direct-booking websites for short-stay hosts — each one ready-to-run website you keep, each with a live demo to click through. London Stay and Lakeside also come as templates you put live yourself; all three I can set up for you.
The demos show sample photos, names, prices and reviews — yours replace them.
Please note: website designs are delivered as ready-to-run websites (self-contained HTML files) — they’re not Canva templates and can’t be edited in Canva.
01 · Beach house · booking requests
The Salt House
A photography-led website for a beach house or coastal home: eleven guest pages, a calendar that prices every free date by season, and a four-step booking request that arrives in your inbox. In light and dark.
- 11 guest pages
- Seasonal prices & instant quotes
- Light + dark
Sample content — photos, prices, ratings and reviews are examples; yours replace them.
Eleven pages, one file
Home, The House, Gallery, Availability, Things To Do, House Rules, Reviews, Location, FAQ, Celebrations and Book Now.
Prices that follow the seasons
Every free date shows its nightly price, and low, mid, high and peak seasons each carry their own minimum stay.
An instant quote
Pick dates and the quote builds itself: the nights, a weekly discount, housekeeping and the total.
A booking request, not a payment
Four calm steps — dates, details, extras, send. The request arrives in your inbox and you confirm by reply; no payment is taken through the site.
A gallery with filters
Drone, interiors, bedrooms, beach, sunset and more, with a full-screen viewer and captions.
Light and dark
A sun-and-moon switch in the menu bar — and on a first visit it follows the guest's own device setting.
Inside The Salt House
Page by page.
Light + dark
Sunlit by day. Calm by night.
Drag to compare — the same page, both themes.

02 · City apartment · reservation flow
London Stay
For a city short-let: one elegant page with a two-month calendar that always opens on the current month, prices that add themselves up, and a four-step reservation flow that enforces your minimum stay.
- Automatic pricing
- 4-step reservation flow
- Street map built in
Sample content — photos, prices, ratings and reviews are examples; yours replace them.
Opens on this month
A two-month calendar that always starts on the current month, with past days greyed out and booked nights struck through.
Prices that add themselves up
Nightly rate, cleaning, service fee and an automatic weekly discount, recalculated as the dates change.
Minimum stay, enforced
A stay that is too short can't go through — the guest is told the minimum instead.
A four-step reservation flow
Your stay, guest details, payment choice, confirmation — a finished front end, ready to connect to your own systems.
A map that waits its turn
A street map of the neighbourhood is built into the file and only starts loading when a guest scrolls to it.
Made for phones
A booking bar stays at the foot of the screen with the price or the stay total, and photos open in a swipeable viewer.
Good to know: The reservation flow is the front end: on its own it charges and stores nothing — it is ready to connect to your own booking or payment system.

03 · Waterfront cottage · request to book
Lakeside
Serene and editorial, for a cottage by the water: one flowing page in nine sections, a calendar that prices the stay as soon as dates are picked, and booking-request, contact and newsletter forms that deliver to your inbox.
- 9 sections, one page
- Request-to-book form
- Contact + newsletter forms
Sample content — photos, prices, ratings and reviews are examples; yours replace them.
Calm, glassy and light
Frosted-glass cards, sage and lake-blue tones, elegant serif headings and generous space.
A price as soon as dates are picked
Two months side by side; choose arrival and departure and the summary shows the nights, the cleaning fee and the total.
Request to book
A short form with the stay already filled in. Guests aren't charged — you confirm by email.
Contact and newsletter
Two more forms, delivering to your inbox when the site is hosted on Netlify (free — the guide shows how).
Gallery and viewer
An eight-photo mosaic that opens into a full-screen viewer.
A booking bar on phones
On a phone, a slim bar with the nightly price and a Book button follows the guest down the page.
