Escape the Trap: How Lodgify, HomeAway and Others Lock You In with Their Website Builders and the BackAgain Solution

The Problem with Non-Modular Systems

Property management software (PMS) like Lodgify, Homeaway, and many others do not operate with modular systems. This means that if you design a website using their services, switching PMS systems would require you to redesign your website, redo all your SEO strategies, rewrite all your blogs, and essentially transform your brand. Your returning and prospective guests will have become familiar with your website, and such drastic changes can cause confusion and loss of trust, further damaging your business. These companies do this purposefully to reduce the likelihood of their customers switching to competitive software. This allows them to get away with a lot, such as freely increasing prices, focusing more on customer acquisition, and less on improving the quality of their services. A Property Management System (PMS) integrates key functions such as reservations, channel management, dynamic pricing, automated messaging, guest management, and reporting into a single platform to streamline hotel operations and enhance guest experiences.

Why Non-Modular Systems are a Major Drawback

Non-modular systems are designed to lock you in. Once your website is designed on their platform, you are essentially stuck. Over time, you would have invested months or even years worth of SEO, blog writing, and design into your website. Switching to another provider would mean starting from scratch, which is a costly and time-consuming process. This strategic lock-in ensures that these companies can maintain their customer base and increase their prices without necessarily improving their services. To avoid this trap, consider a modular approach like the one offered by BackAgain, which allows you to retain control over your website.

The Importance of Owning Your Website

When your website is tied to your PMS system, you lose control over a critical aspect of your business. Your website is the face of your brand, the first point of contact for many potential guests. Owning your website independently from your PMS system ensures that you maintain control over your brand's identity and continuity, regardless of any changes in your PMS provider. This is why BackAgain’s modular system is so beneficial; it allows you to have your website designed and owned separately from your PMS, providing you with the freedom to switch providers without disrupting your online presence.
