Does Daylet include a website like Bookalet's website builder?▼

Does Daylet support channel management like Bookalet?▼
Daylet focuses on direct bookings and iCal-based calendar sync, not full channel management (pushing availability to Airbnb/Booking.com automatically). If you primarily need to sync incoming OTA bookings into one calendar and take direct bookings, Daylet handles this perfectly.
