Website Builder overview
A clean, fast rental website is the single biggest driver of direct bookings. The Website Builder gets you a professional site in well under an hour without hiring a designer, writing code, or paying a separate hosting bill. Everything stays connected to your TrailerBase account, which means your inventory, calendar, and checkout are always in sync.
Advanced plan feature. The Website Builder is included with the Advanced plan.
Two ways to start
When you open Website Builder for the first time you get a choice:
- Build with AI. Describe the site you want in plain English and the AI writes copy, picks photos, and lays out every page. You can then refine it with follow-up prompts.
- Pick a template. If you prefer a known-good starting point, choose from three professionally designed templates and swap content in.
Either path gets you to the same place — a fully editable, mobile-responsive site with all the standard rental pages already wired up.
What every site includes
The builder creates six pages by default:
- Home — hero, trust signals, featured trailers, call-to-action.
- Trailer list — your full inventory as filterable cards.
- Trailer detail — one page per trailer with photos, specs, rates, and a booking form.
- Booking form — date pickers, delivery options, deposit, payment.
- About — your story, team, service area.
- Contact — phone, email, map, and a message form routed into TrailerBase.
All six are live the moment you publish. You can hide or duplicate pages later.
Hosting
Every site is hosted by TrailerBase on our edge network. There is nothing to install, no WordPress to update, no plugin security patches. You get:
- A free subdomain in the form {yourname}.trailerbase.site.
- Automatic HTTPS (SSL certificates are provisioned and renewed for you).
- A global content delivery network so pages load fast in every market.
- Custom domain support when you are ready to use www.yourbusiness.com instead.
Connected to your TrailerBase account
The Website Builder is not a separate product. It is a layer on top of the same data you already manage:
- Inventory changes (new trailer, new photo, new price) appear on your site automatically.
- Bookings from the website become real rentals in your calendar the moment payment clears.
- Automations (confirmation email, pre-pickup reminder) fire for website bookings exactly like they do for manual ones.
- Reports track website revenue separately so you can see how your site is performing.
Fast to launch, fast to iterate
Most operators go from "I should have a website" to "it is live" in a single afternoon. You do not have to get it perfect on day one — the editor is designed for constant small improvements, and every change you make takes seconds to push.
When you are ready, follow the rest of the Website Builder articles to:
- Use the AI builder to draft your first site.
- Pick and swap templates.
- Customize colors, content, and SEO.
- Publish your subdomain.
- Connect a custom domain.
- Understand how renters book on your new site.
