    bedandbreakfast.com Book Now only and 18%? No thanks!!!

    It's always difficult to make pricing plan changes, I've been through that a couple of times. In the end, you can't appease everyone. If the choice is between running an unsustainable/inefficient business vs pissing off a couple of existing customers, then the choice is very clear :) My opinion...

    OK.

    It's kinda weird to start thinking about paying for PPC when you haven't even started with SEO. That's like having a really bad sports team, and instead of focusing on training, you try to bribe the referees to win you the matches :)

    Is airbnb putting me out of business after 15 years? Because Something Is...

    Wow.

    I need a new website.

    As I said, there are pros and cons to both platforms, nothing wrong with that. What's good for someone, can be bad for someone else. I've seen plenty of cases when WordPress was a bad choice for the project, or at least it was badly implemented. It's not a panacea. P.S. The partnership thing...

    I need a new website.

    There are pros and cons for both of these solutions. But I wouldn't go as far as saying "unless you're a developer or really computer-savvy". Out of 1,032,151 hotel and B&B websites that I'm monitoring worldwide, WordPress is used on 20.79% of them, while Wix on only 2.59%. Granted, if looking...

    Is airbnb putting me out of business after 15 years? Because Something Is...

    Why would anyone here have the intention or the benefit of "denigrating" you? You asked if we see something wrong with your website and the way you present the property. People took a look and explained some of the things that "pop out". When you look daily at something - you stop noticing a...

    Just to be clear, I didn't mean to sound negative or aggressive, but I expected to find out the story behind the name. Usually people are happy to explain how they came up with a great name :) P.S. I had a cat and my mother has 5 cats. I know how a place can be when there are cats around. That's...

    Free Stays... No Ways!

    I'm referring to something that I did in my country many years ago... Taxation is a little different in that part of the world :) I was working in incoming for a top incoming (local) tour operator, so I knew very well who makes what on each reservation. So when I pitched them the idea, I knew...

    Free Stays... No Ways!

    I completely get the reasoning, I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying that life became difficult even for legit people offering legit services. But back then I didn't think that people are THAT tired of everything they get pitched about.

    Free Stays... No Ways!

    Partially off topic: I remember when I was launching a local travel website in my country, on a premium domain name (nothing can get better than it). I knew the kind of traffic that I will have. I knew the customers that I would provide to the people that list with me. But out of ~30 hotels...

    The photos, the outdated website and the errors on the website are what would keep me away (unless I really needed this location). P.S. I would address the "Cat" part on your homepage. Maybe a small sentence as to why the name. Do you have cats? Many of them? Is the place stinking of cats? None...

    Every user has his/hers signature displayed in the same post only once. Check it and you'll see :) Everyone in this post has their signature displayed only once.

    I need a new website.

    Thank you all for the kind words, I'm glad that I was able to help at least a little bit. The last thing I'll say on this topic is this: I got accused just because of having my signature (many people here have signatures with links, except those that try to keep their anonymity). Sounds weird...

    I need a new website.

    Where's the irony in that? How did the discussion get to that? I even suggested a free, technical review of the website. Where's the harm and/or irony in that? Just for giggles: I've been here since 2013. In all that time I've helped a few people with technical advice for absolutely no charge...

    I need a new website.

    No, I don't mean me :) Sure, it can be me, but so far I haven't pitched you anything and haven't tried to sell you anything, so there's that.

    The term "webmaster" went away, not the people or the need for them :)

    P.S. If you were to post here on the forum a new topic "Please review my website", I would gladly take a shot at it :)
