Mark Simpson (creator) advises that when hiring someone to design your hospitality/accommodation website you should use a specialist who focuses solely on accommodation websites. He warns against using low-cost/non-specialist options such as family friends or local acquaintances ("down the pub"), arguing they often waste time and money. The video is a short, experience-based warning aimed at hospitality business owners.

Chapters

If you are going to work with somebody to design your website, make sure that they specialize solely in accommodation websites. This is a big thing that I see. I see in the Facebook group, I see it in a hospitality community group. I just see it in forums and people are saying, who did your website? And it's amazing the names that come back, for example, a family friend. Amount of times that I see a family friend because they were going to do it for cheap or for free. So when somebody comes to you and it's like a friend of a family member or it says someone in down the pub who's next door neighbor. Does websites. Trust me, if you use them and they're not specialists and accommodation websites, then you're just going to waste your time and your money.
