Is it okay to ask a question on a completely non-Mikrotik topic (technology related, but no justifiable way to relate it to Mikrotik)?
Gibbs’ Rule #18?
One must first ask, is this the optimal location to ask such a question?
For example, when did the Ford Mustang first come out with a v-8 engine?
OR
How do they put the cadbury milk chocolate in the cadbury milk chocolate bar?
Both are technology questions! ![]()
Neither of which the MT AI bot could answer…
Good answers so far!
I’m tempted to stop right here and claim that my original post was my only question.
But, it wasn’t….
I have a simple website, hosted at Dotster (aka web.com and soon to be network solutions (goes around comes around)). I made it with Dotster’s Wordpress but I am even worse at Wordpress than I am at ROS (in fact, much much worse).
The site is a place for people to view my short term rental properties with links to their corresponding Airbnb booking pages.
But, when combining my ineptitude at Wordpress with my complete inability to create anything of asthetic appeal, the web site, well, sucks.
So I was wondering if anyone here knows of a truly easy, graphical (I.e., drag and place) web site builder?
Google “AI website builder” or just ask your favorite AI. ![]()
I did that before coming here.
It turned up the usual names (Wix, Squarespace, Google sites, etc.).
I actually asked ChatGPT to tell me how it would make my site nicer and it was prevented from visiting the site.
I suspect there is no truly easy way.
Over the years, I’ve gone on various freelancer’s sites and spent a few bucks and have been terribly disappointed with the results – worse that I was able to create myself.
Did you try any of the AI site builders I linked to?
Do you mean Wix, Square Space, etc.?
The AI at web site building is (far) worse than the AI for ROS scripting.
What not using the old way with pre-made templates?
A good half or possibly 3/4 of these kind of websites are anyway more or less a copycat of the other, and it is not like there is that much content in them, if you link to a booking portal like Airbnb, the houses/apartments/whatever are pretty much “static” in their location, size, services offered, etc., so also the site can be static and contents updated only in case of refurbishing, and that essentially consists in replacing old photos with new ones.
More or less the ones I have seen look similar to these ones (example only):

The more difficult part would be IMHO to make (or have made) GOOD photos.
I just found lovable.dev.
This is the response to a quick prompt at lovable.dev:
I need a website that showcases my 6 short term rental houses, with a description and many images of each and a link to each property's airbnb booking page.

I'm excited to help you create a beautiful short-term rental property showcase website! This is the perfect way to highlight your properties and drive bookings through your Airbnb listings.
For inspiration, I'm thinking of sleek property websites like those seen on boutique hotel sites and vacation rental platforms, with large hero images, elegant typography, and intuitive navigation.
For this first version, I'll implement:
A stunning homepage with featured properties and intro section
Individual property detail pages for each of your 6 rentals
Image galleries for each property
Direct booking links to Airbnb listings
Responsive design that looks great on all devices
Design Style:
Clean, minimal aesthetic with plenty of whitespace
A calming color palette with soft neutrals and subtle accent colors
Large, high-quality property images as the focal point
Typography: elegant serif fonts for headings, clean sans-serif for body text
Subtle animations for scrolling and image transitions
Let me create this for you now!

I've created a beautiful showcase website for your six short-term rental properties with a clean, elegant design that highlights your properties' best features with image galleries and direct booking links to Airbnb.
What's next?
Refine & Customize: Tweak the design, animations, and layouts via prompts or visual edits.
Master Prompting: Use clear, detailed, and iterative prompts for better outcomes.
GitHub Sync: Transfer your project's code to GitHub for two-way sync of edits.
Debug with Ease: Activate our experimental "chat mode" to troubleshoot issues quickly.
Add project knowledge: Set key context or custom instructions you want to include in every edit in this project.
If you need a way to manage your listings and their details persistently, including images and Airbnb links, you can use the Supabase menu on the top right to connect your project to Supabase.
And this is what it created.
Not bad for a 10 second prompt.



I’ve been looking for an existing template that meets my needs and cannot find.
The problem is I want the layout to be simple, but with a numbe of specifications such as showing each of the houses with very little overall scrolling and a clear distinction between them (so guests don’t get confused about which pictures are of which houses).
Of course, in the end, lovable.dev is writing html, so I would need to edit it manually (although I would suspect there are nice visual editors available).
