Settings reference
Every building block and its settings
The complete reference for the sections a website is built from — what each building block shows, the layouts it can take, and every switch on it, what it changes and what happens when it is left alone. The same blocks are in every website template.
A website is a list of pages, and each page is a list of building blocks: the top of the page, your services, the gallery, the team and so on. Every template has every block. A template decides how blocks look — their layout and the colours, fonts and corners — never which ones you may use, so switching template never leaves a block behind. Blocks are added, moved, hidden and removed in the website editor under Pages (or by asking Bookodile in AI Chat); how the website is built and published is in Your website.
Every block except the top of the page and the Call to action can have a subheading: a line under its heading, in every language the site has. Left empty, nothing is drawn.
The long texts you write can have bold, italic and links, and the Text block's sub-headings too — see Formatting your texts.
A switch that is left alone follows the template: most are on in every template, and where a template starts with one off, that is said below. Once you change a switch, it stays as you set it when you switch template.
One page or several
The switch at the top of Pages, in every template, and yours: a design switch never changes it.
- Several pages — each page has its own address (
/sluzby,/en/services) and the menu links to it. - One page — every page is drawn on the home page, in the pages' order, and the menu jumps to each. Left out there, because they would repeat: the Calls to action between pages (the last one stays), the home page's starred services when the full list follows, and the home page's few photos when the whole gallery follows. The other pages have no address of their own while it is on: once published, their old addresses lead to the one page.
Nothing moves either way: switching back gives each page its address again.
Heading weight
Under Style → Fonts → Headings, in every template: how thick every heading on the website is drawn. Pick the heading font and it unfolds into the weights that font comes in, each drawn in it — Light, Regular, Medium, Semi-bold, Bold, Extra bold and Black, as far as the font has them — with Template default first.
- Every heading follows it, at one weight: the top headline, each section's heading, service and team names, the headings in cards and in your own building blocks, and your business's name where no logo stands in for it. Body text, buttons and small labels keep their own weights.
- Template default is what you get until you pick: Bold in most templates; in Luxe Two, Regular for the big headings and heavier for the names and headings in cards. Picking a weight puts every heading at that one weight.
- A font comes in the weights it has. Many come in all seven; some display fonts (Anton, Bebas Neue, Abril Fatface, DM Serif Display, Instrument Serif, Pacifico) come in one, which Style says, and they are always drawn in it. Switch to a font without the weight you picked and the nearest one it has is used; switch back and yours returns.
- It goes with the fonts: picking another look or another template brings its own fonts and the template's weight back. The look you had stays one click away in Style → Look.
- Text has no weight setting — paragraphs read best at a font's Regular, and buttons and labels are weighted against it.
- Picking a weight takes off any custom touch that set the weight of a heading, a service card or a review card, and says so: the setting does that job now.
Worked examples: a barbershop on a black look may want Semi-bold headings for a sturdier feel, while a beauty salon using a serif heading font may pick Regular for a lighter one. A personal trainer who wants loud headings can go to Black with a font that has it (Inter, Montserrat, Archivo). Ask Bookodile "make the headings a bit less bold" and it changes this same setting.
Details of the design
Under Style → Details, in every template. Each starts as the template's own value — Luxe Two's are given here, the others start with the first value — and switching to a new design brings its values back. A template may keep a detail its design depends on: Details then shows its value with a lock.
- Labels over headings — Off, On. Small capitals over each section's heading ("TEAM"); a page without a top section opens on its name that way. Luxe Two: On.
- Cards — Filled, Outlined, Hairline. The service cards and review cards: filled with the surface colour, outlined with a line, or a hairline edge that fades down the card and brightens under the pointer. Luxe Two: Hairline.
- Lines — One line, None, Double. The line under the menu, between sections and over the footer; Double draws two hairlines along the menu and over each footer row, and none between sections. Luxe Two: Double.
- Footer — One line, Columns. Columns: the logo, the pages and where to find the business. Luxe Two: Columns.
- Photos under the pointer — Still, Zoom. Gallery and team photos zoom slowly under the pointer, never for a visitor who has asked their device for less motion. Luxe Two: Zoom.
- Page width — Normal, Wide. How wide the content runs on a large screen: 1,120 or 1,280 pixels. Luxe Two: Wide.
- Headings — Normal, Tight: lighter, with the letters closer. Luxe Two: Tight.
Top of the page
The first block on a page: a headline (your business's name until you write one), a line under it, Book and See services, and your rating.
- Layouts: Photo beside, Centred (a wide photo under the words), Words only.
- Show your rating (
showRating) — your overall rating under the buttons. On.
Services
Your services with their prices and durations from your booking setup — all of them by category, or only the starred ones (on the home page).
- Layouts: Price list — one row per service, as wide as the page: its photo, then its name, duration and description, then its price and Book side by side on the right of every row (on a phone, price and Book sit on their own line under the words) — and Cards.
- Show each service's photo (
photos) — the service's cover: across the top of its card in Cards, at the start of its row in the Price list. The cover is the website's first photo of the service, or the service's own photo from Services when the website has none (or you chose it, from the cover in the editor's preview). A service with neither has no photo on the website: a card simply has none, and a row in a price list where other services have photos shows the service's first letter on a plain square, so the names stay lined up. The editor shows an empty place to add one. On; the Luxe Two template starts with it off, like the barbershop site it was made from. Off, the price list is words and prices only. - The order of categories — the arrows beside each category's name move the whole category earlier or later on the website: a massage studio that also cuts hair can list its massages first, and a gym can put its classes before its personal training. Unset, the categories follow your booking page. It changes the website only, and every services section on it at once. AI Chat does it too ("put massages first").
- The order of services — the arrows beside each service move it within its category; the website only.
Gallery
Your photos, with a tab for each category; a photo opens large with Book for its service.
- Layouts: Mosaic, Grid.
- Show a tab for each category (
tabs) — on, once the gallery has two or more categories; off by default on a preview of a few photos, such as the home page's. - Start on an "All" tab (
all) — on. - Photo descriptions shown on the site (
descriptions) — off. - The service's price and duration (
prices) — beside Book when a photo in a linked category is opened. On.
Team
Your team from the booking setup: photos, names, roles, bios and social links. Each person is one row in the editor: open it to change what the website says about them.
-
The order of people — the arrows on each person's row; the website only.
-
Shown or hidden — the eye on each person's row. A hidden person stays bookable.
-
Role — the line under each name. Unset, it is the person's category from Employees ("Senior Barber", "Head coach") while your booking page shows categories, and it follows any change there — in each of the website's languages, the category's name in that language, your main language's until it is translated. Written here, it is the website's own (at most 60 characters, in each of the website's languages) until you empty it. With neither, nothing shows under the name.
-
Bio — unset, the bio from Employees, the same one your booking page shows, and it follows any change there. Written here, it is the website's own until you empty it.
-
Layouts: Grid (at most three people a row — two on a tablet, one on a phone — and a row that isn't full starts on the left, under the rows above, so a team of any size never scrolls sideways), List (one person a row, the photo beside the words).
-
A Book button under each person (
book) — opens your booking page with that person already chosen; the customer still picks the service. On in every template. -
Instagram and TikTok under their names (
socials) — on. -
Extra cards — up to six cards after the people, drawn like theirs, that you write: a photo (chosen from your website's photos, or uploaded), a heading, a subheading, a paragraph and a button, each optional. For a hiring call ("This chair is waiting" with Get in touch), a guest artist or an apprentice spot.
Reviews
Published reviews, newest first, with the overall rating. Never hand-picked.
- Layouts: Cards, One big quote, Wall — review cards in as many columns as fit the screen; a phone shows the first six and All reviews.
- How many on this page (
count) — the newest 1 to 50. Three on the home page.
Visit us
Address, phone, opening hours, parking, directions and your business's Google map. Address, phone, hours and which business the map shows come from your booking setup.
- Show your business on Google Maps (
showMap) — your business's Google map under the address and hours. On unless you turn it off. It shows your business itself — its name, rating and Open in Maps — from the Google Maps link in Business profile, or, while that is empty, from the Google reviews add-on's link while it is on and has one; the line under the switch says which, with a way to Business profile. With neither link there is no map, switched on or not — an address alone pins a street, not your business. Off: no map here; Directions still route to your business. A physio in a medical centre with twelve practices at one address, or a barber inside a shopping arcade: the address finds the building, the link finds the door — and a business that shows a big Map on the same page can turn this one off. - Directions — routes to your business by name when Business profile (or the Google reviews add-on) has its link, and to your address when not. Always there while you have an address.
- The map (
map) — behind Show the map, where Google's map loads only when a visitor opens it, or open on the page, where it loads with the page and Google sees the visit, as with any Google map on a website; whether that needs a notice to visitors where you trade is yours to check. Behind Show the map; the Luxe Two template starts open. A clinic that wants the page light picks the first; a gym whose visitors come for directions, the second.
Map
Your business on Google Maps, large: alone across the page, or beside a photo or your own words. It shows your business itself — the place your Google Maps link in Business profile points at, with its name — and nothing at all without a link: no heading, no words, never a map of just your address.
- Layouts: Map across the page · Map left, photo right · Photo left, map right · Map left, text right · Text left, map right. A phone shows them one under another, in the order they read.
- Show your business on Google Maps (
showMap) — on unless you turn it off. The business is the same one as every other map on the site: Business profile's Google Maps link, or while that is empty the Google reviews add-on's, while it is on and has one. The line under the switch says which, with a way to Business profile when there is none. Off: the block's words or photo show alone, across the page; across the page with no map, it shows nothing. The editor shows where the map goes and Check it on Google Maps; Google's map itself only runs on the published website. - The photo — in the layouts with a photo: one of the website's photos, picked in the block or uploaded there. Until you pick one, an empty place.
- Heading and text — beside the map in the layouts with text, where the text takes formatting; above the map in the others, and optional. With nothing written in a layout with text, the website draws the map alone, across the page.
- How the map loads — with the page, as a visitor scrolls to it: Google's map itself, never a box to press first. Google sees the visit, as with any Google map on a website; whether that needs a notice to visitors where you trade is yours to check.
A physiotherapy clinic inside a medical centre, with twelve practices at one address, puts Map left, text right on its contact page — "Second floor, the lift is on the left" beside the map. A barbershop in a shopping arcade picks Photo left, map right with a photo of its shopfront, so a new customer knows it when they get there.
Call to action
A closing call to book: a heading, a line and the Book button. It was called the Book band until November 2026.
- Align (
align) — centred, or on the left. Centred, in every template.
Text
A heading and your own text — in one column, or in two or three side by side, each with its own heading and text ("Walk in / Sit down / Walk out"). One column on a phone.
- Columns (
columns) — 1, 2 or 3. 1. From two, the text you write above them stays as an introduction. - Align (
align) — on the left, or centred: the heading, the line under it, the text and each column, as a word processor centres. Left. A short welcome or three promises side by side read well centred; several paragraphs read better on the left. A studio centres its three house rules, a clinic keeps its preparation notes on the left. - Sub-headings — inside the text, one size under the block's heading (inside a column, one size under the column's heading). Only this block has them; see Formatting your texts.
Questions and answers
Questions and answers that open on a tap.
- The questions — up to 30, each a question and its answer. They show in the order you put them in: the arrows beside each question in Edit by hand, or click a question on the preview and move it with its own toolbar. Put the one customers ask most first — a typical section has five or six; 30 only stops misuse.
Photo columns
Photos side by side, each with a heading, a line and an optional button: the services worth showing off, the space, the people. Each column's photo, heading, subheading, text and button are optional; up to eight columns in the block, wrapping into rows.
- Side by side (
columns) — 2, 3 or 4 on a large screen. 3. A tablet shows two, a phone one under another.
Building block
Your own heading, text and photo in one of seven arrangements: Photo left, text right · Text left, photo right · Heading and text · Heading and photo · Text only · Photo only · Three columns. Heading, text and photo are each optional: leave one empty and it isn't drawn. Text only and Three columns are no longer offered for a new block — the Text block does both — and a page that has one keeps it as it is.
- A button under it — off until you add one. See The button.
- A Book button under it (
book) — the button from before the shared one; a building block that has it keeps it until you give it a button. - How the photo and the words share the width (
split) — with the photo beside the words: half and half, the photo wider, or the words wider. Half and half. A phone always stacks them. - Align (
align) — on the left, or centred, in Heading and text and Heading and photo; with the photo beside the words they stay on the left, and the choice is kept for when the layout changes back. Left. - The photo's shape (
shape) — wide (4:3), square or tall (4:5), each filled by the photo and trimmed to fit; or original, the whole photo in the proportions it was taken in, as wide as its place. Wide. A section with no photo yet keeps a wide place for one. - A photo the template has in mind — a template can start a building block, the top of a page or a Map section with a kind of photo in mind: Luxe Two opens Location & Parking with a photo of your place from outside, whole. Until you choose one, the empty place says what belongs there, and it never borrows another of your photos — a barbershop's shopfront, a clinic's entrance or a studio's door goes there, not a haircut or a treatment. Choose any photo you like; the hint is only a suggestion. Until there is one, your website shows the template's placeholder there, like any empty photo place.
Background
Every block but the top of the page can stand out from the ones around it
(background): drawn the way your template draws it, from your colours.
- Plain — the page itself. Every block starts plain, except the Call to action, which starts on its tinted band.
- Tinted — a band a shade off the page, across its whole width.
- Card — the block on a card of its own, with rounded corners. Luxe Two draws its card as it draws its service cards: a fading hairline edge and a warm glow in the top corner, with the light that runs round it when the pointer is over it.
- Inverted — your colours swapped for that block: a white band on a dark website, a dark one on a light website, with its text and button swapped too, so they read as well as they do everywhere else.
Card isn't offered where the block's items are cards already — Services shown as cards, Reviews, Team, Promotions and Events — because it would be a card inside a card. Services on a Card that you switch to its cards layout keep the choice, and show it again when you switch back. A background stays as you set it when you switch template; the new template draws it its own way. Choose it in the block's Layout menu on the preview or at the end of its fields in Edit by hand (for Text, a building block and the Call to action, next to Align).
A barbershop puts this month's half-price offer on a Card right under the top of the page; a yoga studio puts its reviews on an Inverted band between its classes and its team.
Formatting your texts
The long texts you write take bold, italic and links: a Text block's text and its columns' texts, a building block's text, an answer in Questions and answers, a card's text (Photo columns, Team's extra cards), the parking and directions note in Visit us, and a Map block's text. The Text block's texts also take sub-headings. Headings, the lines under them, questions, roles, bios and a button's words stay plain words.
- Bold and italic — select the words and press B or I in the small bar above the text (⌘B, ⌘I), on the preview with the Text tool or in Edit by hand.
- A link — select the words, press the link button (⌘K) and type a web address,
an email or a phone number:
easypark.combecomeshttps://easypark.com, an email opens the visitor's mail app, a number their phone. With nothing selected, the address itself is added as the link. A web address opens in a new tab. Only those three can be links: the booking page is the Book button's, and a page of your own website is a button's. Anything else is refused, and the box says so. - A sub-heading — in the Text block only: put the caret in a line and press H.
- Paragraphs — Enter starts a new paragraph, Shift+Enter a new line inside one.
- Pasting brings the words only, never another site's styling; a web address pasted over selected words links them.
- Languages — a translation keeps the formatting and the links: the words are translated, an address never changes.
- AI Chat writes them too — "a bold first line, the parking app's name linked" — and links only an address you gave it.
- When you publish, a link that hides where it goes — a short link such as bit.ly, an address made of numbers, a disguised name — holds the website out of search engines until Bookodile has looked at it. The website is still published.
Worked examples: a barbershop's parking note opens with a bold Park right outside, links the city's parking app by its name and ends with an italic note that old markings no longer apply; a physiotherapy clinic's Text block Before your first visit has the sub-headings What to bring and What to wear, each with a short paragraph under it.
The button
The same button wherever a block has one:
- Where it goes — your booking page; a call to your business's phone; an email to
its address; one of your website's pages; an Instagram account (its handle, without
the @); or a web address starting with
https://. A call or an email shows only while the business has a phone or an email in its booking setup. - Its words — yours, in every language the site has; left empty, the destination's own: Book a visit, Call us, Email us, Instagram, the page's name, Find out more.
- Filled or outlined.
- A second link beside it, plainer — "Book now" and "See prices", say. Its own destination and words.
Offers, events and announcements
What the Promotions, Events and Announcements add-ons put on the website. The two blocks are listed under From your add-ons when you add a section, and only while their add-on is on; switched off, the block stays on the page and draws nothing, and comes back when the add-on does. What they show is written on the add-on's own page, never in the block — each promotion, event and announcement has a Your website switch, on unless you turn it off.
- Promotions — every running promotion with the switch on, as a card: its badge (or Deal), name, your description, the discount, each service with its price struck through and the new one, the last day, and Book. A promotion on one service opens the booking page with it chosen. A discount on an add-on names what has to be booked for it, on its own line. The prices are the booking page's own, by the same rule. Its heading starts as Current offers. With no promotion running, the block draws nothing at all — no heading, no empty box.
- Events — upcoming, published events with the switch on, soonest first: date, time, place, price (or Free) and Register, which opens the event's own page on the booking page; Full instead once every place is taken. Show chooses The next three (with a link to the rest) or Every upcoming event. Its heading starts as Upcoming events. Search engines are told each event's date, place and price.
- An Events page — under Add a page, while the Events add-on is on: one per website, with every upcoming event and a Call to action. Remove it like any page.
- Announcements need no block. Up to two run along the top of every page, above the menu, the first two with the switch on in the Announcements list's order. One kept for customers who have booked before never shows on the website, because a website cannot tell who has.
The website updates by itself — without Publish — when a promotion, an event or an announcement starts, ends, changes or fills up. Adding or moving the block itself is an edit, and shows once you publish. If something is set to show on the website but no page has its block, its form and its list say so, and Add it to Home puts the block on your home page in the draft.
Social links in the footer
Icons in the footer of every page — in every template and both footer styles: under your name or logo in Columns, under your name and address in One line. Each opens the profile in a new tab. Set them at the bottom of the Pages tab, under the list of pages, or ask Bookodile ("add our Instagram, @yourname").
- Instagram — your username (
@yourname) or your profile's address. - Facebook — your page's address from Facebook, or its username.
- TikTok — your username (
@yourname) or your profile's address. - YouTube — your channel's
@nameor its address, never a video's.
A box takes whatever you paste, the link from the app's Share button included, and keeps the profile's own address; a post, a reel, a video or another website is refused, and the box says why in red. Left empty, that network has no icon; with all four empty, the footer has no icons at all. Search engines are told these profiles are your business's.
The links are your location's own, like its phone number, not part of the website's design: they save as you leave a box, reach the published website within a few minutes without Publish, and are not in the website's History or its Undo. Each location has its own.
Changing a block into another
Change to keeps a section's place, heading and words. Text, building blocks and the Call to action change into each other at once, as do Text in columns, Photo columns and Questions (a column, a card and a question are the same part). Between those groups, Bookodile splits or joins the words to fit. Booking-data sections only change Layout; Text's columns and a block's arrangement are Layout too.
Worked examples
A barbershop whose customers ask for their own barber. The Team block's Book button stays on, so a customer reading a barber's bio books with that barber in one tap. A physiotherapy clinic whose patients keep seeing the same therapist keeps it on for the same reason.
A barbershop where the owner still cuts. Under the owner's name the Team block reads "Owner & Master Barber", under the others "Senior Barber" and "Barber", so a new customer knows whom to ask for. A physiotherapy clinic writes "Senior physiotherapist" and "Sports massage therapist" for the same reason; the booking page shows neither.
A gym whose classes are taught by whoever is on the rota. Members book a class, not a trainer, so the owner turns the Team block's Book button off: the team page introduces the trainers, and Book in the menu leads to the classes.
A physiotherapy clinic that wants calm, not flash. It uses Luxe Two's layout but turns Photos under the pointer to Still and Cards to Filled under Details; a tattoo studio on the same template keeps the zoom and the hairline edges.
A nail salon with photos of only some services. In the Cards layout, a card without a photo simply has none, so the row looks uneven; in the Price list, a service without one shows its first letter on a plain square. The owner adds a photo to each remaining service in Services — the booking page shows them too — or turns off Show each service's photo until every service has one, and the photos stay in the gallery. Switching to Luxe Two later keeps the switch off, because the owner set it. A barbershop whose cuts look alike in a small square turns the photos off too, and keeps a price list of words and prices: the gallery shows the work.
A nail salon that posts every set fills Instagram and TikTok; a personal trainer with workout videos fills YouTube alone. Each footer shows only the icons filled in, so neither points customers at a network it isn't on.
Limits
- A template cannot add or remove a block. Every template has the same blocks and the same switches; it changes layouts and looks only.
- Switching template keeps what you set, and changes a switch you never touched to the new template's starting value. After the first publish a switch changes the design only; a template's own pages are taken only with Use … with its pages.
- No block of your own design. The Building block's seven arrangements are the free-form one; there is no HTML, script or custom CSS.
- One weight for every heading. A heading's weight is set for all of them at once, never one heading at a time, and text has no weight setting.
- Services, team, reviews, opening hours and address come from your booking setup. Change them there; the website follows without Publish.
- Reviews are always the newest, never chosen one by one.
- Promotions and events are all-or-nothing per block. A block shows every one with Your website on; to keep one off the website, turn its switch off on the add-on's page. Two Promotions blocks show the same promotions.
- Four social networks: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, one profile each. No WhatsApp, X, LinkedIn or Pinterest, and icons only — the footer links your profiles; it never shows your posts.
- 25 blocks on a page and 12 pages — limits that only stop misuse; a typical page has four to eight blocks.
