Serviced apartment websites built around the monthly rate
You sell months and your website sells nights. The monthly rate — the entire argument for staying with you instead of a hotel — only ever comes out on a call that most people never make. A serviced apartment website should lead with length of stay, and it should take the booking directly instead of paying a listing site fifteen percent for a guest who found you anyway.

What this fixes
- Your rate card is a nightly figure, which makes you look expensive next to a hotel until someone does the arithmetic for thirty nights. Almost nobody does.
- Most of your bookings arrive through an OTA and you lose a commission on every one, including the repeat guests and the corporate accounts who would have come to you directly.
- What is actually included — housekeeping, power backup, wifi, bills, a kitchen — is the whole difference between you and a hotel room, and it is written nowhere.
- A company relocating four engineers for three months has no way to ask you for four apartments except by phoning during office hours.
What gets built
- 01
A stay calculator
The guest picks their dates, the page quotes the real total at the right rate band, and the monthly saving against the nightly rate is shown as a number. This is the piece owners remember, and it is what makes a direct booking website worth building.
- 02
Three rates per apartment
Nightly, weekly and monthly, stated openly. A long stay apartment website that hides the monthly rate is selling against itself.
- 03
Everything that is included
Housekeeping frequency, bills, power backup, wifi speed, kitchen, laundry, parking. Listed per apartment, in writing, because this is the comparison the guest is actually making.
- 04
Direct enquiry, no commission
The enquiry reaches your WhatsApp with the dates and apartment already filled in. Every booking that comes this way instead of through an OTA is the commission back in your pocket.
- 05
Corporate and bulk enquiries
A separate route for companies needing several units for several months, with a GST invoice and a single point of contact. Corporate housing is the highest-value booking you take and the hardest to make on a phone.
- 06
The neighbourhood, honestly
Distances to the tech parks, the hospital, the airport and the metro. A relocating guest is choosing an area before they choose a building.
Who it is for
If your trade is not on this list, it does not mean no. It means ask, and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people.
Serviced apartments
A serviced apartment website with per-unit rates, photos and inclusions, built for stays measured in weeks and months.
Long-stay and corporate housing
A corporate housing website with bulk enquiry, GST invoicing and a rate sheet you can send to an HR team.
Homestays and villas
Homestay website design with a direct booking enquiry, so a repeat guest never has to go through a listing site again.
Boutique hotels and guest houses
A hotel direct booking website that sits alongside your OTA listings and wins back the guests who were going to book you anyway.
PG and co-living operators
Room types, monthly rent, deposit terms and what the house rules actually are, so viewings are only ever with people who already agree to them.
Questions
Will this replace MakeMyTrip and Booking.com?
No, and you should not want it to — they bring you guests who would never have found you. What it does is stop you paying commission on the ones who already know your name: repeat guests, corporate accounts, and anyone who searched for you directly after seeing your listing. That is usually a large enough share of your bookings to pay for the site quickly.
Do you build real online payments and a booking engine?
We can, but for most properties we advise against starting there. Long stays are almost always confirmed in conversation because dates move, rates get negotiated and corporate bookings need an invoice. An enquiry that reaches your WhatsApp with dates attached converts better and costs a fraction. If you want a full booking engine with payment, we will scope and quote it properly.
Can I change the rates myself?
Yes. Rates move by season and you should never need us to change a number. That is built to be editable from the start.
How long does it take?
One to three weeks, depending on how many apartments and how much photography needs organising. The photographs are usually what sets the pace, not the build.
Can I see one working first?
Yes — there is a complete demo linked from this page, including the stay calculator. Open it on your phone and put your own dates in.
