Amazing PR and marketing
Amazing PR and marketing, excellent advice on social media and jazzy website design. You will always get a BUZZ from visiting their social channels. Be aware after that initial adrenaline fix you get from their media, you are left to deal with the day-to-day maintenance of your website, dealing with plugins and updates and preventing malware from infecting your site! A steep learning curve will be required on your part. The time has come to warn new users you need to see through the smoke and mirrors. Is it value for money? You can always seek support from their team though, they work only 09:00-18:00 Philippines local time. We have been a 'Boostly' customer for a very long time now. We went along with the 'new Boostly' that was launched in February 2023, that essentially gave us what we had been getting in the past for a 100% increase in charges. We have two separate websites for which we pay £25 each per month per site. I know new joiners are being asked for quite a large upfront fee to have their site built, hosted and linked to other websites. Be careful before you signup to this, the support you will receive when your site is down is way below the standard you should expect for the fee's you pay. I know that wordpress had issues recently, but there seems no backup plan in place when there are problems. Their admin staff do not use 2FA authentication for Wordpress logins to your website. A basic security measure surely? We had a CRITICAL support request submitted 17:08 02/04/24 for which we had to wait until 11:30 04/04/24 before we received a 'human' response. The issue was resolved at 12:30 that day. The exact same malware had then somehow reinfected us again on 08/04/2024. We now have another CRITICAL issue that has occurred today 16/04/24, another malware that has seen our site being removed from google search! Yet again preventing our potential customers from reaching our website and BOOKING DIRECT.

I wish it lived up to the hype
I wish it lived up to the hype! I wish I would have just stuck with my free version with my hostfully software or went with ICND. I have had several businesses prior to starting my STR business and with all I had websites built and managed. With Boostly you have to do all the maintenance yourself. Boostly links to my software but when I add a new property of change pictures The site does not update. It took me 3 months to get them to update it. I really don't see any bonus to having a Boostly website as compared to my free site with Hostfully. Boostly did not deliver what I was sold. I told them I do not want to have to maintain or build it out. I paid more. There is constant IT issues and you get someone in other countries that do not understand how to fix it. Very disappointing.
