Resources in Our Business

Here you can see which resources help us to successfully run The HohnStead Glamping Cabins as a two-person small business.

Website hosting

Squarespace - After using WordPress and Wix in the past, I really enjoy lack of widgets and constant updates and ease of use in Squarespace. Building the site was very intuitive, and incorporating code from Flodesk or Houfy is also much easier than using widgets in WordPress. Now that I think about it, I didn’t enjoy a single thing about my experience with WordPress. Squarespace made building a new website and managing it exciting and fun again :)

Direct Booking Partner

Houfy - a marketplace where members can book and connect directly, without paying service fees. On the platform since 2020, we started off with Houfy’s Free Plan. This year, we’ve moved on to Houfy’s Premium Plan for the incredible ability to incorporate booking widgets on to our direct booking site. They look and function great! We also enjoy the automated messages that we’re able to send to our guests who book direct, just like the other larger platforms BUT without the service fees and extra charges. Are you a host, looking for a free/inexpensive direct booking platform? start here!

Email Marketing

Flodesk - beautifully designed emails that are easy and fun to create from their existing templates. Easier to set up with Squarespace vs Mailchimp, which we tried in the past. Writing emails to our audience became more fun and consistent because of Flodesk. Segmenting your audience into people with their own needs and wants in Flodesk is not complicated and checking analytics is also easy-peasy!
