Customizing the Header:

• Showcase your contact information in the Header and Footer by adding a contact number.

 

Search Section:

• Choose between Centered and Left alignment for the Preferred Layout.
• Add a compelling Title and Description in the Content Section.
• Enable Daily, Monthly, and Yearly modes for your rentals. If you offer short-term rentals only, you can disable Monthly and Yearly modes, designed for mid- and long-term rentals.
• Allow guests to search based on specific Property Types and Locations (Property Type can be set in the Direct Booking Listing Editor)
• Upload a captivating Background Image for the Search Section in JPEG, PNG, or GIF formats.

Footer Section:

In addition to the existing layout options, you have the flexibility to add a New Section to your page, allowing you to tailor your website to perfection. Here are the various options available:

• Image: A captivating image that speaks volumes and captures the essence of your rentals.
• Article Header: Grab your visitors’ attention with an attractive and informative header.

Let’s explore the Banner with Elements option and see how it can elevate your website.

With this section, you can present the unique selling points of your rentals in a visually captivating manner. Follow these easy steps to create an impactful Banner with Elements:

• Choose between two layouts: Opt for a Banner with or without an Illustration, depending on your preference and style.
• Add up to 4 elements to the page, and for each element, provide an individual Title and Description. These elements will be the key highlights of your rentals, capturing the attention of your potential guests.
• Customize the Button to lead your visitors to an external website or another page on your iGMS Website. This can be a great opportunity to prompt them to take action, such as making a reservation.
• Personalize the Background by selecting a Custom Color or keeping the default one. This allows you to align the section with your brand’s aesthetics.
  
  
  

In addition to our easy-to-use layout customization options, there’s a Settings Tab with a range of features to further personalize your website to match your brand’s identity.

• Choose Your Theme: Select between two beautiful themes – a sleek and sophisticated dark theme or a fresh and airy light theme. Pick the one that best compliments your brand’s personality and creates the perfect atmosphere for your visitors.
• Branding Master Color: Set your branding master color, and watch as the button, font, and icon colors seamlessly adjust themselves to harmonize with your chosen color palette. This ensures a cohesive and professional look across your entire website.
