Who it's for

A guesthouse website for B&Bs, lodges and self-catering cottages that want their rooms, rates and location in one place, with a way for guests to ask about dates.

  • Your house, your rooms and your rates — every word and picture can be changed.
  • Availability enquiries arrive in your inbox with the dates and the room the guest wants.
  • Add rooms, seasonal rates or a page about the area whenever you're ready.

Questions

  • Is the guesthouse website template really free?Yes. Signing up, starting from this template and editing every word, photo and colour costs nothing. You only pay when you publish, and you can see the plans before you do.
  • Can I use my own domain?Yes. Every published site gets its own address at yoursitename.pylonsites.co.za. If you already own a domain you can point it at your site, or buy a new one from the Domains tab.
  • Can I edit it on my phone?Yes. The editor works on a phone as well as a computer, and the site is built to look right on both.
  • Do I need to know how to code?No. You change the words, photos and colours by clicking on them, then publish when it looks the way you want.
