Compare Your Website to a LiveRez Website

At LiveRez, we are willing to put our websites up against the best in the vacation rental industry. In the blog below, we’ll explain exactly what makes LiveRez websites different and how they can help your business increase its bookings. As you read along, you may want to ask yourself this question: “Does my website do this?”

Website Design
Guests are more likely to book on a website with a professional design. Check out the web designs we’ve done for some of our partners.

Searching
On LiveRez websites, the search box is located in the top left-hand corner of the page. It’s the first place the human eye is trained to look. This ideal placement leads to a lot of searches, as evidenced by the heat map below.

Results
At LiveRez, the results are shown within the same framework of the website – you won’t be linked to a new page with a different domain name. Guests even have the ability to compare properties or do an advanced search to narrow results.

3-Click Bookings
With LiveRez, guests can book in just three clicks after arriving at your home page. This ensures that your guests don’t get lost in the booking process. With LiveRez, it’s as easy as Search, Shop and Book.

Making Changes to Your Website
LiveRez’s content management system (CMS) is built into the LiveRez back office, which means you can make changes to your website in real time, all from the same piece of software you use to manage reservations, communicate with guests and owners, manage property care and maintenance, and create and view a wide variety of reports about your business and the properties you manage.

Our CMS gives you complete control to change nearly any piece of content on your website. Look at some of the creative ways our partners have used this ability.
