Last month Nancy, a long-term client of ours from way up in the Adirondacks asked us if we could add a new feature to her vacation rentals site. A lot of her potential renters had been asking about availability so she needed a way to place calendars into each of the listings on her site.

The software used to run her listings database didn’t offer that feature so we had to do some research and see what options we could provide her. As is the case 99% of the time instead of having something custom-programmed at a high cost, it’s just a matter of finding where a company has already created something that is exactly what’s needed. In this case we found it from Stivasoft. For a very affordable price they have an availability calendar with all the features we knew Nancy would need, as well as a simple admin area so that she could easily update the calendars herself.

After install, we went in and added the calendars for each of her rental listings and plugged in the necessary code into her templates. 15 minutes of training over the phone and she was ready to roll.

Less than a week later we got an email from her where she was glowing over how well everything looked and worked…and from the feedback she was already getting from her site visitors.
