How to get a FareHarbor website: Step-by-step guide

Looking for a professional, conversion-optimized website that integrates seamlessly with FareHarbor’s booking system? You’re in the right place! 

Here’s your step-by-step guide to getting your new FareHarbor website up and running!

Step 1: Talk to your account manager or sales representative

If you’re already a FareHarbor operator, connect with your FareHarbor account manager or reach out to support to determine if a FareHarbor website is the right fit for your business. They will walk you through the incredible benefits (anyone want a 9.2% conversion bump?!) and help you decide on the best package for your specific needs.

Step 2: Sign the commercial order

Once you’ve decided to move forward, your account manager will provide a commercial order outlining the details of your website package. Simply review, sign, and you’re officially on your way.

Step 3: Submit your website details

After signing, you’ll receive an intake form that collects the necessary information to kick off your website project. This includes:

• Photos and brand assets
• Website content (we’ll use existing content or request new materials if needed)
• Domain and registrar details

Providing complete and accurate information at this stage helps ensure a smooth — and as fast as possible — build process.

Step 4: Meet your project coordinator

Once your intake form is submitted, you’ll be assigned a dedicated project coordinator who will guide you through the website creation process. They’ll schedule a 30-minute call to discuss specifics, align on expectations, and ensure everything is in place before the build begins.

Step 5: Website development begins

Our in-house Sites Team takes over from here, combining industry expertise with best practices for online booking optimization. This includes:

• SEO enhancements, including optimized keywords, title tags, and meta descriptions
• Professional website design focused on user experience and conversions, customized to showcase your unique brand
• Industry best practices for navigation, booking flow, and mobile responsiveness

Step 6: Website review & final adjustments

Once your website is built, your project coordinator will schedule a review session where you can preview the site, request any final adjustments, and discuss the launch process.

Step 7: Go live!

After final approvals, we take care of the technical details to ensure a smooth launch:

• Redirecting old URLs to maintain SEO rankings
• Assigning SSL security certification
• Configuring your site through Cloudflare for optimal performance
• Submitting your sitemap to Google for indexing

Pro tip: Explore our SEO Gold and Silver add-ons for ongoing SEO support and optimization. Depending on your package level, you’ll receive annual audits, tailored quarterly reporting, dedicated specialists and more. 

Once these technical details are completed and we receive your final approval, your FareHarbor Site is live.
