01 — Overview
Why start from a template
A blank page is the slowest way to build a welcome book. Templates do the structural work so you can focus on the parts only you know.
Every template ships with the eight sections guests actually need, pre-styled in a clean mobile-first layout. You drop in your WiFi, check-in details, house rules, and local tips — the template handles the rest. No design skills, no fiddling with colours, no decisions about typography.
02 — Library
Six templates. Six property types.
Each one is a fully styled guidebook tailored to a specific kind of vacation rental.

Coastal palette, surf-and-sand recommendations section, pre-built tide table block. Best for oceanfront and beach-adjacent rentals.

04 — Process
Three steps. Fifteen minutes.
- Pick a template. Choose the one that matches your property type and aesthetic. You can switch later if it doesn't fit.
- Fill in your details. WiFi, check-in instructions, house rules, local recommendations. The template tells you exactly what each section needs.
- Publish and share. You get a unique link and QR code. Add it to your Airbnb welcome message and you're live.
