High-quality photos attract guests, showcase property uniqueness, enhance trust, and boost bookings by offering a visual experience that sets your multi-property hosted website apart from your competition.
Multi-property Hosted Websites have the option to configure their photo layout option to a Dynamic photo display similar to Vrbo and Airbnb.
The first 5 property photos are featured full-width. The page tabs are shifted below the photos, and the booking/inquiry widget is also shifted below to make room.
When you click/tap on any of the 5 photos, you are brought to a Photo Gallery where any property photos tagged to rooms or amenities are organized at the top in a tab view. In this example, the Amenities tab is selected and shows photos tied to a supported amenity (see below for full details). If there are groupings, they will show at the top as thumbnails. In this case, there's only one group of Amenity photos (Workout Room).
Rooms, Exterior, and Amenities tabs will show if any rooms exist of the applicable type:
- Exterior: Backyard, Entrance To Home, Exterior, Front Yard, Outdoor Common Area, Outdoor Space, Patio, Courtyard, Neighborhood, Porch, Rooftop, Terrace
- Amenities: Hot Tub, Gym, Pool, Art Studio, Bar, Beach, Bowling Alley, Casino, Event Room, Movie Theater, Music Studio, Photography Studio, Restaurant, Spa, Sunroom, Theme Room, Wine Cellar
- Rooms: any others not above
If you click or tap on a photo in the Gallery, it will open up the Carousel view that is used in the Legacy layout.
Current multi-property hosted website users can change their photo layout from the legacy style to the dynamic layout by navigating to Settings > My Website > their Multi-property Hosted Website > <property name> > Content tab > Photo Layout > Dynamic. When new hosted websites are created, they will default to the Dynamic layout but can be reverted to the Legacy layout.
