Get the most out of Staycy by understanding how to communicate with the AI builder and use its visual editing tools.
Talking to the AI
Staycy uses AI to generate your website based on your descriptions. The more context you provide, the better the results.
Tips for great results:
Be specific about your brand — describe your colours, style, and the feeling you want guests to have ("modern coastal retreat" vs "luxury mountain lodge")
Describe your ideal layout — tell Staycy what you want to see ("a hero image with a search bar, followed by featured properties and guest reviews")
Share your story — mention your property type, location, and what makes your rentals unique
Iterate naturally — start with a general description, then refine. Ask Staycy to adjust colours, move sections, or try different layouts
The AI improves with more context. Don't hesitate to describe exactly what you're looking for — Staycy works best when you're specific.
Working with Your Property Data
Staycy automatically pulls your property listings from OnSeason, so your website always shows current information:
Photos, descriptions, and pricing flow directly from your PMS through OnSeason into your website
Availability is always live — guests see real-time booking options
New listings appear on your website automatically when you add properties in your PMS
Your property data is always in sync. When you update listings in your PMS, the changes flow through OnSeason to your Staycy website automatically.
Adding Custom Pages
Expand your website beyond property listings with custom pages, e.g:
About Us — tell your story, introduce your team, share your hospitality philosophy
Contact — provide your details so guests can reach you directly
Blog — share local tips, travel guides, seasonal highlights, and destination insights
Destination Guide — showcase your area's attractions, restaurants, and activities
Each page can be customised independently with its own layout, content, and design.
Best Practices
Start with AI, then refine — let Staycy generate the initial design, then use Studio to polish
Use high-quality photos — they make the biggest visual impact on your website
Keep navigation simple — 3 to 5 main pages is ideal for most booking websites
Test on mobile — many guests browse on their phones, so check how your site looks on smaller screens
Update regularly — refresh your blog, seasonal content, and photos to keep guests engaged
Don't worry about getting everything perfect on the first try. You can redesign and republish as many times as you want — your changes go live with a single click.
