How to make a website for a PG hostel

Someone moving to a new city for a job or college searches for a PG from their phone, often before they arrive. They want the rent for single, double and triple sharing, whether food and Wi-Fi are included, the gate timing and how far the PG is from their office or college. A small website answers that and sends them to your WhatsApp.

Sample words for your home page

A homely PG for working women in Kothrud, Pune

Twin and triple sharing with three veg meals, Wi-Fi and weekly cleaning. Ten minutes on foot from the bus depot.

Annapurna Ladies PG is run by Mrs. Sunita Kulkarni from her own building, where she also lives. Meals are cooked fresh in our kitchen, the gate closes at 10:30 PM, and parents are welcome to visit before a tenant moves in. Message us on WhatsApp to ask whether a bed is free this month.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most PG hostel websites need these pages: Home, Rooms and rent, Food, Rules and facilities, Contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your PG hostel, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my PG, Annapurna Ladies PG, near the bus depot in Kothrud, Pune. For working women and students. Pages: home, rooms and rent, food, rules and facilities, and contact. Rent: twin sharing ₹9,500 and triple sharing ₹7,500 a month with three veg meals, Wi-Fi and weekly room cleaning; deposit one month's rent; one month's notice. Gate closes at 10:30 PM; visitors in the common room only. I will send photos of the rooms and dining area. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Soft green and white colours.

Tips for a PG hostel website

Say clearly what is extra, such as AC electricity by meter or laundry beyond a set number of clothes, so nobody argues at the end of the month.
Show the gate timing and visitor rules on the home page; it is one of the first things parents ask.
Use daytime photos of a made-up room, the bathroom and the dining area; tenants want to see what they will really get.
Don't write 'vacancy available' on the website, because it goes out of date. Ask people to message you to check this month's beds.
Mention landmarks people search for, like the nearest college gate or office area, in plain words on the contact page.
Add the PG to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and put the website link there.

Good to know

The website can't show live bed availability, take a booking amount or collect rent. People message or call you to check a bed. To track beds, rent and the food menu, a PG app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Can people see which beds are vacant on my PG website?

No. The website doesn't change by itself when a bed is filled, so it would soon be wrong. People tap the WhatsApp button and you tell them what is free this month.

Should a PG website show the rent?

Yes. People shortlist PGs by rent and sharing type, so show the monthly rent for each and the deposit, and say what is included.

Should I put the food menu on the website?

A sample weekly menu helps a lot, especially for parents. Change it in the chat when the menu changes, so the page stays true.

Can I show the house rules on the website?

Yes. Put the gate timing, visitor rules and notice period on one page, so tenants know them before they move in.

Can the website be for both my boys' and girls' PGs?

Yes, if they are in the same area. Give each building its own section with its address, rent and photos, and make clear which is which.

Will students searching for a PG near their college find my site?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your area and nearby landmarks in plain words. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps people find you on Maps.
