- Question: Where can I link my company website to your
WebLink site?
Answer: Your webmaster can link your website to the
WebLink site with any combination of three methods. Our
main search page to your home page, and our property
detail and calendar page or just calendar page to each our
your property pages. OwnerLink is normal a single link
from you home page
- Question: Why should I link my company’s website to
your main search page, when I already have the
capability of searching properties on my own website?
Answer: The Stay-USA WebLink site has a very power
search "engine." Due to some recent upgrades in
the program, the main search page can query the guests’
desires by numerous fields and property attributes. We
know of no other company websites with comparable
capabilities.
- Question: Why do I need images with my properties in
the Stay-USA WebLink site when I already have them in my
company website?
Answer: Guests will frequently want the pictures in
front of them as much as possible throughout the
decision-making process. Without the pictures on the
WebLink site, they may need to go back to your website
repeatedly to refresh their recollection about various
features, layouts and views of/around multiple properties,
especially if they are comparing several houses. By having
the pictures, pricing and availability on the same page,
the guest can compare all features simultaneously.
- Question: Why do I need "cookies" to be
enabled on my browser?
Answer: The use of "cookies" allows the web
pages and features to run in a rapid and accurate fashion.
Without their use, the program would run very slowly if at
all; this is true for many websites. To view your
settings, go into the "internet options"à
"security or privacy" tabs section of you
browser and "enable" the acceptance of first and
third party cookies.
- Question: Should I charge my owners for the OwnerLink
program?
Answer: It is your prerogative to charge, or not. Most
owners are so appreciative of the program that they will
gladly pay a monthly fee that is equal to, or greater,
than your expense. If you wish, give the owner the
OwnerLink program for a couple-month trial, and then take
it away. It is highly probable that he/she will agree to
pay for the service.
- Question: What dimensions and resolution should apply
to the images?
Answer: No need to worry about anything except the size
of the file. Property Plus resizes your images to a
standard size automatically. No matter what the size of
your file, it always will be downsized to that
specification. However, we recommend a ".jpeg"
(or ".jpg") file size of less than 250K be
entered, as "embedded", into the image field in
Property Plus.
- Question: How many images/property can I load onto the
Stay-USA Websites?
Answer: You can have as many images associated with a
property on the WebLink site as you do with that property
in Property Plus, i.e. essentially as many as you want.
- Question: Which text field contains the description
that applies to the Stay-USA websites?
Answer: The text that is entered under the
"Description" tab (under the
"Stay-USA" tab) is the text that will appear
with your property images. The material entered under the
"text" header (under the "Images" tab)
will only present itself on hardcopy prints in your
office.
- Question: What is the significance of "Nitty
Gritty?"
