Set up your boarding house website in BoardHub
Create your own boarding house website with photos, rooms and a booking button, pick your link, and publish it from My Website. A Pro feature.
Last updated
Your own website gives boarders a proper place to see your rooms, rates and rules, and to reserve a bed, instead of digging through Facebook comments.
Pro: The website, branding and online bookings are part of Pro. On Free, My Website shows what's included and an Upgrade to Pro button.

Once published, the share box says "Your website is live". Use Copy, the Facebook button or QR Code (with Download QR PNG) to share it. A QR code on a tarpaulin or the gate works well.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You fill in simple boxes or tap Build Website with AI, then switch Published on.
Can I see the site before it goes live?
