When you don't have availability why not help that potential guest by sending them to your group site? Everyone wins! The guest can see similar properties and their availability. The guest will remember you as someone that wasn't just another dead end in their search for an available vacation rental.
Do you informally work with a few other owners? Do you have multiple properties?
Wouldn't it be great to have your own site where you could combine your efforts?
We are not trying to be a classified site or a VR Listing Service. The goal is for a group of agreeable owners that already refer inquiries to each other to have a place to work together to improve their rental experience.
In addition, your potential guests will appreciate being referred to a place just like yours where they know there is availability. Include jAC's search ability no matter where each member keeps their calendar.

This is the next step up from a basic Group Site. The advanced site can be hosted here at the VRO Workshop or downloaded to your own server. You can have Local News, Weather, Restaurants, and other information related to your Properties. One key to the search engine battle is to have fresh related content. These sites give you a way to easily keep fresh related content through forums and news.
The script is a lightwieght Content Management System (CMS) integrated with the jAC API. The same CMS is running the VRO WORKSHOP site you are looking at now. Using a CMS means that the content is updateable right on the website through the internet. It does NOT require any mySQL database. Just basic PHP and copy and go!
