Guidesly Invests in its Guides with Free Custom Websites

Feb. 15, 2022 (BOSTON) – Guidesly, the premier platform to connect anglers with fishing guides, today announces their new Custom Website Builder for guides everywhere. Guidesly invests in the guide by offering complete customized websites to each guide, including clean designs and mobile optimization, all at no cost. 

“Guidesly is dedicated to supporting guides and helping them grow,” says David Lord, Founder and CEO. “In talking with thousands of guides we quickly realized guides want cutting-edge technology solutions that lower their costs and increase bookings. The Custom Website Builder is the first step in our long-term guide vision. There is so much more coming!"

Our launch of the Custom Website Builder is another way we are supporting guides to achieve greater success and gain more bookings. We are continuing to add new features to amplify guide growth throughout the new year.

These free custom sites aim to drive an increase in traffic with SEO optimization. Guidesly also has a team of internal experts to assist with creating new logos and strong website copy. In addition, guides will have complete freedom to utilize Guidesly’s other offerings on their sites such as rate cards, photo galleries, target fish, and fishing reports.

“When we were building the Custom Website Builder for guides, our primary focus was to give them so much more than just a website,” says Taylor Lord, Head of Product. “We incorporate a strong model that amplifies their primary expertise and key targets to gain new customers, and an array of options for site schemes and colors to fit what suits them. Most importantly, customizability. We want them happy with what they are putting out there, so we work directly with the guides to get the most out of their website, all free of charge.”

Continuing to put the guide first, Guidesly is proud to help guides keep more of their hard-earned money in their own pockets. By switching to Guidesly’s Custom Website Builder, top guides have already saved thousands of dollars in hosting, SSL, web design, and marketing fees. 

To get a feel for these guide-curated custom sites, both Cape Cod Charter Guys and Vermont Fly Fishers have sites live now and more sites are actively being built every day.
