Having a blast gonna get it on the Bruce Lee podcast Bruce Lee like Bruce Lee Cause it's so hard and the tea is loose leaf Licking up those rhymes don't write it, just do it loosely if you want my respect you'll better butt direct mmm. Here are the words in the podcast. That's what comes next.
Hello, my name is Mark Simpson and I give hosts just like you the tools, the tactics, the training, but most importantly, the confidence to go and get your own direct booking so you don't have to rely on the likes of Airbnb and booking.com to provide them for you. And in today's episode is a question, actually that I saw in a. In my hospitality community Facebook group. And the question was, should I have a WIX website or should I have a WordPress website? And there's a. There's so many different angles to go down. So let's address the elephant in the room. Boostly. One of the main things that we provide for host is websites. We are the largest and we are the industry leaders when it comes to website design and we build all of our websites on WordPress. Now, for anybody who comes and creates a WordPress website, it's. I can totally see why the likes of WIX and Squarespace and the other sort of hospitality booking engine, PMP providers have created free or very cheap website solutions. Because when you look at WordPress and you first load it up, you feel like you need a degree in code just to make it work. And this is why somebody like Square and wix, particularly wix came along, because WIX is pretty much drag and drop. Now, WIX is, is all well and good, they make real pretty websites, but the hospitality website is there to do one thing and one thing only, and it's to turn a looker into a Booker. And a WordPress website not only does that, but it also gives you all the tools that places like WIX doesn't allow. So let's just talk about it for one second in the form of Google. You want your website to be seen on Google in all the places. Now, Google is an open source platform, so what that means is that. Sorry, WordPress is an open source platform, so what that means is that Google prefers it. Google prefers WordPress websites. I think there's a stat, I'm going to misquote this, but it's between 70 to 80% of all of the world's websites are built on WordPress. So success leaves clues. But again, the problem for so many people, so many hosts, when they come to get their own direct booking website, they go to Wix because they look at WordPress and they just go, what am I doing? What am I looking at? So this is why Wix is popular. But if you're looking between the two and if you really want to do something with this, this is why you've got to choose a WordPress website. And this is why we created Boostly websites, because we have been able to create a system and a platform where we get the drag and drop element of Wix and we've put it onto a WordPress website. So our prices start at 99 pounds and they go up to 399 and above. And the way that we work is that we create the WordPress template for you. So you get all the power, all the control and all that you need to do is just change out the pictures, change out the words, add your properties on there and you've got a website. We've got a very clear set systems and structure that works every single time. This is why we put our money back guarantee on it. So we started doing this in 2018 and we created this service on the back of the frustration of other hosts in the hospitality community Facebook group. And it's gone from helping one person to now we've got over 500 websites. So we have created over 500 websites for hosts, every single one of them on WordPress. All of the of the very clever people in our industry will confirm that WordPress websites are best. So when it comes to Wix versus WordPress, then it, hands down, every single day it's going to be WordPress. So if you're looking to create a new website this year, and if you're thinking about maybe going with a squarespace, a wix or even going for a free one via your PMS or channel manager, always, always, always veer towards a WordPress website. And if you can crack it yourself and you can set it all up, fantastic. If you need that extra help and guidance, you know where to find us.
