Update 12-20-19, 

Hey Joe, I know how busy you are, I get it and I fully understand, but it’s been almost 3 weeks and I’ve received no feedback regarding your project. Please understand that when I get the go ahead from a client I go to work immediately to complete that project in a timely matter as there is a great deal of initial work involved on the initial draft.

Also, each website is an upfront out of pocket expense for me so I have a policy in place where I normally require payment upfront before I’ll begin a website for a new client, however I will sometimes wave that requirement and give a few extra days in situations where I’ve corresponded with the client and feel comfortable with that person which was how I felt initially with you. 

Keep in mind, I’ve had clients drag projects out for months and in no way am I saying you would do something like that, so I hope you understand where I am coming from in having to have a some kind of a policy in place when I take on a new client.

Anyway, if you could just give me a time frame as to when you think you can get me the items, I need to complete your website, that would be great. Also, if you could go ahead make payment, I’d appreciate it. I know how busy you are, but you have my word that I will see your project through to the end. Don’t worry, I am not going to abandon you after you’ve paid as I don’t work that way. Your project is ongoing so we will continue to tweak and make needed changes as we go along.

Also, if it works better for then give me a call. I can be reached at (850)450-2507. If you get my voice mail just leave me a quick message and I will call you right back. If I don't hear from you I will give you a call anyway

Going forward here is what I still need from you

  1. Any feedback as far as any changes you would like to make to any aspect of your website. As I've been saying, it's just a draft. If you don't like this initial design then here are some others you might want to consider and you can view them at, https://our-templates.multiscreensite.com/ 
  2. Calendar choice (see info below)
  3. Rates for each property
  4. Booking instructions, as far as how much of a deposit, forms of payment accepted, when balance is due and cancellation policy.

You can email me at support@vpodirect.com or text me at (850)450-2507
Website Calendar Scenarios

1. Using VRBO or other listing service as your master calendar.

If you’re using VRBO or another listing service as your master booking calendar then you might want to simply refer them to that listing for rates and availability but you would definitely want to includes a message explaining that they will pay a service fee if they book with the listing service but if they book directly with you then they can avoid this fee. Here is an example of what I am talking about (See example below)

2. No Calendar or Rates on your Website

Another option is to have no calendar or rates on your website, just a Booking Request form as in the example below. 

Many property owners prefer to call the guest and provide them with this information and to learn more about who will be staying at their property. If the dates they requested are booked, and you have more than one property, then this gives you the opportunity to direct them to one of your other properties.

You can choose to have an Inquiry form as in the example below on each of your property pages or you can just have a single form with a drop down list showing each of your properties.
3. Have your own calendar

Have your own calendar and you can view several calendar options at Calendar Options. 

Once the calendar is installed you can enter reservations directly into your calendar and it will automatically update on your website.

As part of your package there is no charge for adding the Google calendar which is fully Ical compatible meaning that you can update your VRBO calendar with a reservation and it will automatically update your Google calendar on your website. You will need to contact VRBO and get the Ical link for each property so that it can be set up to sync with your Google calendar. 

You don't have to link to another listing service calendar and you can choose to enter reservations directly.
