About this site and my mission

I want everyone to have a system of their own, properly kept, and one person to call about all their channels: the website, Booking.com and Airbnb, the Google business profile, Facebook and Instagram, ads and email. I work alone, so that person is me: I answer a question within one working day, and you never pay for questions.

For a holiday-home owner that starts with the calendar and the money. If a platform takes, say, 15% of every booking, you pay that share again for a guest who comes back for the fifth time. I do not write the platforms off: they find the first guest, and your calendar can stay in sync with them. I want the people who already know you to have somewhere to book directly, with the money going straight to your account.

So every site built here has an admin its owner runs, usually from a phone. You change prices and seasons in seconds. You close a day and it is closed for the guest too, because the calendar on your phone is the one the guest sees. You upload and rearrange photos yourself, with no code. In a café the menu changes the same way, in a studio the weekly schedule. Prices, dates and photos do not need an email to me, and a booking, an order or a sign-up reaches your phone as an alert. Not a mockup, not a business card with a phone number.

The alerts pass a guest’s details to nobody else. Google, Apple or Mozilla delivers an empty signal with no guest name and no dates in it, and the phone fetches the text straight from your site. On Android I install the admin as an app of its own, with your name and icon, and the alerts arrive under its name.

What is yours stays yours. The domain is registered in your name. The Stripe account is yours, and the money never passes through me. If we stopped working together, I would hand over the code, the database, the photos and every credential within 14 days. The booking engine and the admin, which I use for other sites too, stay mine, but you get a permanent licence to use and change them, including with another developer. The server is ordinary Linux that any developer can take over, and if I disappeared the site would keep running: only the updates would stop. I hold nothing hostage.

Before a change shows on the site, it has to pass its checks. If one fails, the old version stays, so a guest never meets a half-broken page. I count the work as done only when both the server’s log and the live site confirm the new file.

The site runs on my own server in Lithuania. Its health is checked every 5 minutes, and if something breaks, the alert comes to me. Every night an encrypted copy is made and kept in three places, one of them locked for 30 days so that nobody can delete it. A copy is worth only what it can restore, so I rehearse the restore in a closed environment, and copies broken on purpose have to be caught.

This page holds itself to the same standard. Everything shown here works: you can try all six demonstrations in your own browser, and five of them from the owner’s side as well. The businesses in the demonstrations are made up and marked as such, while teatro.lt and roziunamas.lt are run every day by their owners. How a site is built, paid for, published and backed up is described openly rather than promised.
