The homeowners needed a simple, reliable way to share essential house information with their home-exchange partners. Emailing long instructions, videos, and check-in details had become messy and time-consuming, and they wanted a central place where guests could easily access everything they needed before and during their stay. Crucially, personal information – such as access instructions and internal house videos – needed to be protected and visible only to verified guests.
I created a lightweight, secure WordPress website designed specifically for home-exchange communication. The site combines three key components:
Private, password-protected guest area
A restricted-access section where approved guests can view house rules, check-in instructions, appliance how-to videos, and security information – all stored safely behind login protection.
Easy client updates
The structure was built so the homeowners can upload new videos, update instructions, or add seasonal information without technical knowledge. This empowers them to keep the site fresh for each exchange.
Multilingual experience (4 languages)
Using a translation plugin, the entire site can be viewed in four languages, ensuring international guests can comfortably navigate key content.
Local area guide
A public-facing section with photos, recommendations, and travel information created to help potential exchange partners understand the location and neighbourhood.
Reduced back-and-forth emails by centralising all guest information in one place
Guests receive clear, consistent instructions before arrival, reducing confusion
Multilingual access improves accessibility for international guests
Owners can update content themselves in minutes without needing support
A more professional, trust-building experience for potential exchange partners
We wanted a simple way to share house information with our home-exchange guests without sending long, confusing emails. Leila created a private hub where we can share videos, instructions and local tips in multiple languages. It’s made hosting much calmer for us and clearer for our guests.
