Step 2: Picture gallery

Your property lives from beautiful photos. You need to upload at least 7 images in this step to make your booking website both informative and attractive. Remember: a picture is worth a thousand words. So you should put a lot of effort into creating and selecting the images. Show your vacation property from its best side. Make sure that your pictures are sharp and taken in good light. You can also optionally add a description to each image, which we highly recommend for SEO reasons.

Step 3: Equipment features

In addition to the images that set the mood, the hard facts are of course important. In the next step, you can define all the important features such as number of rooms, number of beds, number of bathrooms, internet quality, TV reception, parking space, pool, garden, terrace, fireplace, etc. etc. here. This way, your potential guests can get a good overview of what your vacation accommodation has to offer with just a few clicks.

Step 4: Subdomain & domain name

The subdomain is ultimately the URL under which your accommodation can be found. It is therefore advisable to formulate the subdomain as self-explanatory as possible. For example, you can use the name of your accommodation or place a special property such as “meiers-haus-am-meer” in the subdomain. The entire URL is made up of your subdomain and the elements book and dibooq.com. In this case, it would be as follows: meier-haus-am-meer.book.dibooq.com

Step 5: Accommodation prices

With this step you set your accommodation prices. You first define a base price for the current year. Then you can add weekend surcharges, for example, which also apply for the whole year. You can also define your own base prices and surcharges for vacation periods, the peak season or for certain public holidays. That way you can work through the whole year.

Step 6: Telephone number & address data

Now enter your personal data in the mask. Your telephone number, mobile number, e-mail, fax, street, postal code and city as well as the respective country. The data is imported directly into the legal notice so that you comply with your legal notice obligation, which every website operator must fulfill. Interested parties have all the important contact details here at a glance, so that contact is guaranteed in any case.

Step 7: Your URL

As already mentioned, your URL is made up of the subdomain you have chosen and the elements book.dibooq.com. Please enter this complete URL in the legally required texts such as data protection information or cancellation conditions. The URL is the most important identification address for your prospects and customers.

Step 8: Set color scheme

In this step you can choose your color scheme for your website. This applies in particular to the color of the buttons on a booking website. You can choose between green, blue, purple and many other colors. It’s important to pay attention to the details and choose a color that stands out enough to support a call-to-action on the one hand and matches the color mood of your photos on the other.

Step 9: Finalize language version

Now you’ve practically worked through everything. All that remains is to write the headings and descriptions in the respective language version. We remember: We have German, English and Spanish to choose from. It is advisable to use all three language versions if you want to maximize your reach.

Headings

Now simply enter the headings in the respective language version. The headline should be short but meaningful.

Descriptions

Enter the description for your vacation property on the same screen. You should describe the advantages and possibilities of your accommodation in vivid words so that your prospective tenants can get an idea. Don’t skimp on words, but make the description as precise as possible.
