Homestays · Website
Give the house a website that sounds like the host and takes the advance.
A website for a homestay is the one page on the internet the host controls, where a traveller can read about the home, check the rules and pay the advance. GullySales works on the words, the photographs and the booking route, in a form the family can edit.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What website means
A website is the page a customer lands on after searching, clicking an advert or scanning a code, and it decides whether they call or leave. GullySales builds and maintains sites that load quickly, explain the offer plainly and make the enquiry form or phone number easy to find.

For homestays
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Platform pages all look alike”
On Airbnb and Booking.com the house sits in a grid with every other stay. A website is the only place the host decides the order, the voice and the photographs, and where a guest meets the family before the room.
“The page must answer the hard questions”
Is there a climb, is the food vegetarian, can a car reach the gate, is the bathroom shared? A guest who finds these answers on the page does not need to ask, and a guest who is surprised later writes a review.
“Phones are where guests read”
Guests open the page on a phone on a bad network. Heavy pictures, small buttons and a form that asks too much send them back to the platform. Light photographs, big buttons and a WhatsApp link keep them on the page.
“A site no one updates misleads”
Old rates, a festival date that has passed or a closed room on the page cost the host a message that begins with an argument. A small site the family can change alone is kept right, where a bigger one is left to age.
What we do
What we deliver for homestays.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A clear homepage in the host's voice
One page with the story of the house, the rooms, the meals and the neighbourhood, written the way the host would tell it.
Result: Read aloud, the page sounds like the host talking.
Room pages with honest details
A page for each room with photographs, bed, bathroom, view and rate guidance, including any climb or shared facility.
Result: A guest can judge each room without asking a question.
House rules and the road in plain words
A page of the rules, cancellation terms, meal times and directions for the last stretch, stated before the guest asks.
Result: No rule on the page will surprise a guest at arrival.
An advance payment route
A UPI or card link, or a WhatsApp prompt, so a guest can confirm the dates and pay the advance from the page.
Result: A guest can pay the advance without calling the host.
Light mobile pages the family can edit
Light photographs, large buttons and a simple editor so the host can change rates and dates alone.
Result: The host can update a rate without outside help.
How the result is measured
- Page load time
- Bounce rate

How it works
How the website work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Confirm structure and content
We agree the site's pages and content needs before design begins, drawing on website strategy where it exists.
- 2
Design the site
Every page is designed against your brand identity and checked for how it should convert a visitor.
- 3
Build and test
The site is developed and tested across devices and browsers before anything goes live.
- 4
Load real content
Actual copy, images and information about your business replace placeholder content before launch.
- 5
Launch and hand over access
The site goes live with domain, hosting and content management access clearly handed to you.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
