Hi there,
I have read your project criteria on how you are attempting to create your holiday home rental business on WIX. I am an experienced Web Developer / Designer from Ireland with 10 years in the industry, WIX look's great but i have tested it and it is a money spinner and not friendly on all web browsers , esecially firefox their templates load quite slow.
I would be able to design and build an eye catching holiday home rental site on WordPress that will allow customer bookings via your site, a gallery for photos, also a forum if you would like to have an visitor guestbook.
I use WordPress on a daily basis and it is one of the most versatile and robust web applications around as its both an Content Management System & e-Commerce platform in one package.
This is just my opinion but i hope you find it helpful, and i can work on this project for you. If you view my profile you can view the "Rosendall Spa & Resort" an holiday retreat located in South Africa which i designed and built last year.
Best Regards,
Conor O Brien
