Can anyone point me towards a person/company they used to have a website built? One that was reasonably priced and easily integrated the OR widgets. Thank you for any help!
Having someone build a proper website can be expensive. I would suggest you start with a) the hosted website offered by owner reservations for several reasons such as getting free included support, or b) purchasing a WordPress theme that features a hotel or rental theme from a place like envato or c) consider using Wix or Weebly to build something as a starter.
There is a lot that goes into building a website, and your website builder may not really know what they're doing or may charge you thousands you wind up with nothing better than what I said above. There's a lot to be said for starting simple and then transitioning to something that you have built for yourself later.
Thank you for the information! I like the OR website but down the road I would like something a little more detailed. In the short term is there anyway to add a banner to the OR built website for my VR that would scroll specials or announcements across it?
Yep, that's usually a good way to get started -- do an OR website which is fast and easy and then later if you want to develop something more advanced or hire a developer to do so you can always switch over to a custom site using our widgets.
In terms of a banner, you could put images on the hero unit that scrolls across the top of the home page. But I'd recommend just creating a page called "Specials" -- folks usually see that first in the tabs up top and click it to see what you're offering.
I had no clue we could create additional pages!!! Where in the forums can I find the steps of doing that?
If you go to the site in Settings > Hosted Websites, click on the site in that list, it'll take you to the main site management area.
There is a Create Page button there at the top of the page/menu list -- click that and choose the Custom Page option and it'll take you to an area where you can fill out the content for that page.

We are looking for a designer/coder who can help translate our brand design to the built in ownerrez site. It would be best of the designer is familiar with how the ownerrez site is set up, so that we are not paying the designer to learn the owner set-up. Our main site is here.. http://thereset.club and our current owners site is here.. http://stay.thereset.club. thanks for your help. I have looked on sites like https://www.upwork.com/ and https://www.fiverr.com/ and there seem to be quite a few that have experience with this style of integration, wondering if anyone is wiling to refer a positive experience that they had?
