WHAT’S ALREADY LEAVING YOUR ACCOUNT
You already earned this booking. Someone else still takes a cut.
Every reservation that comes through an OTA or a rented booking platform hands part of it away before it ever reaches you. The cost climbs every time you add a room, and it never stops, not this season, not next year, not ever, for as long as you keep renting the platform. And it’s not just the commission. It’s the guest who can’t pay easily in TTD, JMD or XCD because the platform has no Caribbean-native gateway. It’s the support ticket sitting in an overseas queue while a guest waits at your front desk.
- Room rate: $200.00
- OTA commission (~18%): -$36.00
- Platform fee: rises per unit
- Guest payment: USD only
- Support: queued, overseas
- You keep: $164.00 or less
THE BOOKING-READY WAY
Every booking. Kept.
Consistently cheaper than Little Hotelier, Cloudbeds or Lodgify, tier for tier, up to 46% at the smallest portfolios, with nothing recurring taken out of what you earn.
- No booking commission, ever
- Own it outright, on your terms
- Built for WiPay & PayPal from day one
- A person answers, not a ticket queue
WHO’S BUILDING IT
Run by people who've sat where you're sitting
We’ve spent years inside Caribbean hospitality businesses, not just building their websites. We know what it costs to watch a commission line eat into a season’s bookings, and what it’s like waiting on an overseas support queue while a guest stands at your front desk. Vivid Consultant only builds for hospitality, so every decision in this product has already been tested against a real property, not a generic template.
Vivid Consultant is absolutely the best. This team has a very professional yet relatable approach to dealing with and understanding our needs. They gave us what we needed and provided guidance through the process step by step. Since our involvement with this company, our booking revenue has increased substantially. We would recommend their services to anyone without hesitation.

Joshua was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable, professional, and did a fantastic job creating a new booking website that tripled our revenue in the first year. I highly recommend him.

HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to your first direct booking
01. Schedule your free demo
See the Booking-Ready Website running live and ask every question. No obligation, no pressure.
02. Choose your path
Build & Handover, Managed Partnership, or Full Independence, sized to how many units you run.
03. Launch and keep every booking
Go live and start taking direct reservations, commission-free, from day one.
THE NUMBERS, LAID OUT PLAINLY
One flat price, however many rooms you run
Every build runs on a proper hotel booking engine (property listings, live calendar, direct booking, Airbnb iCal sync) with a checkout built for how Caribbean guests actually pay: WiPay processes each guest’s own currency, TTD in Trinidad & Tobago, JMD in Jamaica, XCD in Grenada, with PayPal in USD alongside it for everyone else. Choose how you want to hold it below.
- Full booking engine: calendar, direct booking, Airbnb sync
- Professional template site, styled to your brand
- WiPay & PayPal checkout, configured and tested
- Performance and caching pre-tuned
- One round of training on managing bookings and rates
- Hosting and domain set up in your name; you hold the login
Build & Handover
Built once, handed to you outright. No ongoing fee, no contract.
$1,340

$1,630

- 6-10 units: $2,470
- 11-15 units: $3,310
- 16+ units: from $4,150
All prices in USD. Tier 4 is a starting point, not a ceiling; larger portfolios are quoted once scope is known.
WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE ACTUALLY COSTS
Buy the licences yourself and hire a freelancer to configure MotoPress, WooCommerce and the WiPay checkout correctly, and here’s roughly where you land in year one, before the software renews again next year. Hosting and a domain sit outside this comparison, since you’ll need those in your own name either way.
- MotoPress Hotel Booking Bundle: $349/yr
- Elementor Pro: $59/yr
- Freelancer, done properly: $1,500-$4,000+
- Year one total: $1,900-$4,400+
- Build & Handover, Tier 1, for comparison: $1,340 one-off
That’s before accounting for a freelancer meeting the WiPay checkout issue for the first time, and having to find it the way we already did.
COMPARED PLAINLY
How it stacks up against what you already know
- Lodgify: $14-59 per property/month, 0-1.9% commission
- Little Hotelier: $179-269+/month (5-20 rooms), 1% plus variable booking fees
- Cloudbeds: ~$100-1,000+/month, 0% subscription but add-ons stack up
- HotelRunner (Wix Hotels): $19.95-39.95+/month, 0.75-1.25% of monthly booking revenue above a threshold
- The Booking-Ready Website: flat by tier, 0% commission, always
