What is included, and what we quote.

Keep Airbnb. Your booking page comes first, beside your Airbnb listing and never instead of it, and a good deal comes with it. Past that, we take on other work for Newfoundland owners when you want it, and never push it.

Included with your page

  • Your booking page on your own web address, built and run for you.
  • The starter kit. The province's Book Now, your Facebook button and your Google profile where you qualify, all pointed at your page, plus a short link, a QR code and the words to use.
  • The print kit. Rack cards, cards and a roadside sign, designed print-ready once your page is live. You pay a printer here directly, only if you print.
  • See what the page and both kits look like →, with the real kit we made for Hideaway Chalet.
  • A growth plan. What would bring in more bookings, what it would cost, and whether a program would help pay. Yours to keep.
  • The drive from the airport, measured, on your page, from our own route guides at fromtheairport.xyz.

All of it comes with the page, and you pay for the page only when a guest books and pays on it. See the price →

When you want more

Each of these is quoted per piece, at a fixed price, and only if you ask. You do not need a booking page to hire us.

Print and signs

Beyond the kit: rink boards, posters and campaign pieces, from concept to print-ready files for a printer here. For Islands' Villa in Lewisporte we took a rink board for Mike Austin Arena from three concepts to print, with a poster that carries the QR code.

Kit included. Extras quoted.

Google profile and reviews

If your business qualifies for a Google profile, setting it up with your page's link comes with your page. Google does not give a holiday home a profile of its own; a lodge, an inn or a business with an office qualifies. Beyond that: the full profile, photos and hours kept right, and replies to reviews that read like you wrote them.

Set-up included. Upkeep quoted.

Photos and words

The words on your booking page come with it. Beyond that: a shot list for your photographer, and descriptions for everywhere else you are listed.

Your page included. Extras quoted.

A full website

For owners who want more than a booking page: a site of your own, with your booking page built in.

Quoted per piece.

Help paying for it

Some work qualifies for government cost-sharing: a new unit, a winter season, a trade show on the mainland. We check whether a program fits, write the application, and do the work once it is approved. If the paperwork would cost more than the program pays, your growth plan says so.

Quoted per piece.

Something else

If it would bring guests to a cabin in Newfoundland, ask. If it is not something we do well, we will say so.

Quoted per piece.

What we know about government programs

The province's Business Growth Program normally covers up to half of an eligible project, to a maximum of $200,000 over two years, and the owner puts in at least 20%. Many programs will not pay back money spent before they approve you, so we never start early. Some pay only when the project is finished, which changes how you budget for it. We tell you which applies before you commit.

From the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's program page and applicant guide. Programs change; we check the current rules for your project before anything is written.

How quoted work is paid

  • A fixed price per piece, agreed before any work starts. The price is the same whether or not a grant comes through.
  • Pay up front, or spread it. Where a program pays you back over a year or two, our bill can be spread over the same months. The work is yours outright once it is paid.
  • Check a grant's start date first. Many programs do not pay back costs from before they approve you, so we start grant work only after approval.
  • Your booking page is never held against a bill. Your web address, your Stripe account and your page stay yours either way.
  • No pressure. If you want it, ask. Judge us on your booking page first.
