Complete the Cloudbeds Websites onboarding process
The Cloudbeds Websites team guides your property through the main stages required to prepare, review, approve, and launch your website. Your property will participate throughout the process by selecting a design, providing content and preferences, reviewing the website, and approving the final version.
Onboarding can be completed in as little as 4 weeks. The steps below show the order of the process and what you can expect from your property and the Websites team at each stage.
- Choose your website design. Review the available Cloudbeds Websites templates and select the design that best fits your property. Colors, fonts, images, and pages can be configured to support your property's needs.
- Join the kick-off call. The Websites team will confirm details such as styling, colors, website structure, and domain information. The team will prepare the overall website structure, and your property will organize the content needed for each page.
- Submit your content. Provide your property's images and descriptions using the tools shared during onboarding. If the relevant property and accommodation information is already available in Cloudbeds, that information can also be used during the website build.
- Review the website. After the website structure and content are prepared, you will receive access to review the site and provide feedback to your website designer.
- Review the revisions and approve the website. Your website designer will apply the requested adjustments. Once the final version is approved, the team will schedule the go-live date.
- Go live. After the final revisions are complete, the Cloudbeds Websites team will publish and host the website.
- Edit your site after launch. Once your website is live, use the Cloudbeds Websites Editor to update written and visual content and manage your blog.
After the website is live, the onboarding process is complete and ongoing content management moves to your property. Use the Cloudbeds Websites Editor for day-to-day website updates, and refer to the Websites FAQ when you need additional information about domains, content, integrations, hosting, or other website questions.
