# Your website > The website Bookodile builds from your booking setup — switching it on, templates and looks, changing it by asking Bookodile, by hand or right on the preview, languages, photos (your own, and photos made or enhanced with AI) and gallery categories, publishing and History, the yourname.bookodile.com address, connecting a domain you own, search engines, the Website visits report, and what it does not do. _Last verified: 2026-11-02. Source: https://bookodile.com/docs/your-website_ Every location in Bookodile can have its own website, built from what you have already set up for booking: your services and prices, your team, your opening hours and your reviews. It lives at `yourname.bookodile.com`, or on a domain you own at `www.yourbusiness.com`, and every **Book** button on it opens your booking page at `bookodile.com/yourname`. The website is part of every account, the free one included — the hosting, the translations and connecting your own domain too. It is not an add-on and there is nothing to buy; only a domain of your own, if you want one, is bought elsewhere. ## What your website is A set of ready-made pages for one location: by default a home page, your services, your team, a gallery and a page for finding you, with your name, logo and the words you choose. The pages are laid out for phones first, and on a phone **Book** sits in the top bar beside the menu, which stays on screen while the visitor scrolls — nothing covers the bottom of the page. A website does one job beside your booking page: it is what someone finds when they look you up, and it sends them to book. The booking itself always happens on your booking page — the website never takes a booking or a payment of its own. ## Switching your website on - **A new business starts with its website on.** The last step of setting up a business, **Make me a website too**, is switched on unless you switch it off there. The same happens when you add a branch or a new workspace later. What it makes is a **draft**: nobody can see it until you publish it. - **A business that existed before 17 October 2026 has its website off** until someone switches it on in **Settings → Website & booking page**, on the **Website** switch at the top. Switching it on builds the first draft from your booking setup in a moment, and the button under the switch opens the website editor. - **While it is on, Website in the sidebar opens the website editor.** The arrow at the end of that row opens the website itself in a new tab — a preview until the first publish. On a computer the arrow shows when the pointer is over the row; on a phone it is always there. - **Switching it off** keeps everything you made. While it is off, your website address opens your booking page instead, and switching it back on brings the whole site back as it was. Until your first **Publish**, the website address opens your booking page too, so a customer never lands on an unfinished page. ### The Setup list Until the first publish, **Setup** beside **Publish** lists what only you can add before the website goes live: whether you already have a website to bring the words over from, which design to keep, photos of your work, an about text, your team's bios, your services' descriptions, and parking and directions. Each row is ticked when it is done, and the count beside **Setup** shows how many are. - **It is the location's list, not yours alone.** Everyone who edits the website sees the same ticks: when one person answers a question or skips a step, the others see it answered, on any computer. - **Bringing over your old website through the chat ticks "Already have a website?"** as well, with its address, the same as answering it on the list. - **Bios, service descriptions and parking can be skipped.** Not every service needs a description: **Skip** counts the row as done, and **Undo** brings it back. A coach working online may have no parking to describe; a barbershop's beard trim may need no words while its colour service does. - **Hide this list** hides it on your own screen only; **⌘K → Website setup** brings it back. ## What always comes from your booking setup The website **points at** your booking data; it never keeps a copy. So nothing is typed twice, and a change in one place is a change everywhere: - **Services and prices**, with their durations and categories, priced by the same rules as your booking page: a fixed price, "from", a range, price on request or an hourly rate. A service priced per team member shows its lowest price as "from"; one priced per category of team member shows "on request", because the price depends on who is booked. - **Your team** — every active, bookable team member, with their name, photo and bio, their Instagram and TikTok handles when they are filled in on the team member's own page, and a **Book** button under each person that opens your booking page with them already chosen. Every template shows it; a switch in the Team section takes the buttons off. - **Your address, phone and opening hours**, on the page for finding you, with a **Directions** button, and your business's Google map — from the Google Maps link in Business profile (below). The map sits behind **Show the map**, loading only when a visitor asks for it, or open on the page — a setting in the section. A **Map** section shows the same business large — across the page, or beside a photo or your own words. Each section that draws a map has a **Show your business on Google Maps** switch, on unless you turn it off. - **Your published reviews**, newest first, when the Reviews add-on is publishing them — and your rating, once your booking page shows it. - **Your logo**, and your business description as the line under your name until you write one of your own. Change a price in **Services** and the published website follows within a few minutes, without pressing Publish. Restoring an old version of the website still shows today's prices. On the website alone you can hide a service or a whole category, star up to 12 services for the home page, change the order services and team members appear in, and hide a team member. **Hidden on the website is still bookable** — the booking page is untouched. A team member can also have a bio and a photo just for the website, different from the ones on the booking page — a website bio can run to 400 characters, against 200 on the booking page. Left empty, the website shows the booking page's. A service works the same way with its photo. The photo added to the service in **Services** is the booking page's, and the website uses it as the service's cover until the website has a photo of that service of its own (see [Photos](#photos)). The cover shows at the start of the service's row in a price list, and across the top of its card in the Cards layout. A team member can also have a **role**, a short line under their name. While your booking page shows [categories](/docs/team-members-and-categories#categories-group-people), it is their category from **Employees** ("Senior Barber", "Head coach"), in each of the website's languages — the category's name in your main language until its translation is written. Written in the website's Team section instead — "Owner", "Senior stylist", at most 60 characters — it is the website's own and is translated with the rest of the website's words. With neither, nothing shows under the name. ### Your business on Google Maps Every map on your website — in **Visit us** and in any **Map** section — and the **Directions** button show one business: the one your **Google Maps link** in [**Settings → Business profile**](/docs/reference-business-profile#google-maps-link) points at, beside your address. Open your business on Google Maps, tap **Share**, copy the link and paste it there; the long link from the address bar and your Google review link work too. A search, a route or another site's link is refused, and the field says why. The map then shows your business itself — its name, rating and *Open in Maps* — and Directions route to it by name instead of to the street address. The link itself never shows on the website. Your booking page names the same business to search engines, without drawing a map. You paste it once, for the location — in Business profile, or right in the website editor: a **Visit us** or **Map** section's **Edit by hand** has the same field, and a map with no link yet shows **Add your Google Maps link**, which opens it. Each section also has a **Show your business on Google Maps** switch, on unless you turn it off. A change to the link shows on your published website straight away, without **Publish** — like your address. While the field is empty, the maps use the link from the **Google reviews** add-on when it is on and has one, and the field says so. With neither, there is no map anywhere on the website — an address alone pins a street, not your business — and Directions use your address. The sections' panels say which link their map uses, and link to Business profile when there is none. Bookodile, in the chat, can set it too: give it the link. ## Templates and looks There are four templates. **Classic One** is the standard design, light, with several pages. **Bold One** starts dark, with several pages. **Luxe One** starts dark, in black and gold, and puts everything on one page. **Luxe Two** starts dark, in black and white with fine lines, with several pages. A template's name is its style — Classic, Bold, Luxe — and its number in that style, in the order the templates were made; a new one takes the next number, and a name is never changed or given to another template. Names are the same in every language; the ready-made looks inside them are named by their colours (Clean, Midnight, Black & gold…). **bookodile.com/templates** shows every template filled in with a sample business of each kind, before anyone signs up, filtered by style and by light or dark. Each opens full screen at its own address, every page clickable, with the kind of business switchable at the top. Beside it, one button tries the template on in another way across the whole sample: its other colour sets, any heading or text font, sharp, soft or round corners, and filled or outlined buttons. Each choice changes only its own part — new colours keep the fonts — and every other setting (spacing, heading size, photos, the top of the page) is changed after starting. *Start with this template* signs up with the template, and the first website starts as it was left there — its colours, fonts, corners and buttons — except a font that can't write one of the business's languages (some fonts have no Vietnamese letters), which stays the template's own. A sample business has no booking page, so its **Book** buttons explain instead what they open on a real website: the business's own booking page. Style → Template opens a gallery of every template, filtered by light or dark, one page or several, and trade, and searched by name, by style or by how it looks ("luxe", "luxe 2", "gold", "mosaic"). Open one to see it three ways, on a computer or a phone: **The template** as designed, filled in with a sample business like yours; **Your pages**, your own site exactly as it is in its design; and **Its pages**, your words and photos in its own pages. History keeps the site as it was just before each switch. **Use asks before it changes anything.** Keep your pages, or take the template's; keep your texts, or take the template's texts written for your business; and — only when the template's menu works differently from yours — whether to keep your menu as it is. It starts on what the preview showed, so pressing Use on **Your pages** keeps your pages, and on **The template** takes the whole template. Taking the template's texts takes its pages too: the words belong to its sections. The gallery opened from AI Chat's guided setup asks the same, without the template's texts. **The whole template, written for your business.** A template looks finished partly because of its words, written for a sample business. Choose its texts and your website becomes the template as **The template** shows it — its pages, sections and menu — and then Bookodile rewrites every one of those words for your business, in your website's language. A nail studio's "Since 2012, our technicians…" becomes words about your studio and your team; a gym's "Your first class is on us" stays an invitation to book, without promising a free class. It uses only what your booking setup says: your name, what you do, your services, your team, your address and opening hours. It never writes a price, a year, a number or a promise, and where the sample answered a question about its own rules — walk-ins, parking, gift vouchers — the new answer promises nothing, and the chat asks you to read those. Words a template repeats on every page, like the closing Call to action, are written once. The chat shows each page as it is written, and the changes arrive on one card, applied at once, with Undo. Your photos stay in the gallery and the photo at the top of your home page stays; the template's other photo places wait for your photos. Your other languages are translated again from the new words. **A new website's menu fits your kind of business.** Onboarding asks what kind of business you are, and **Settings → Business profile** keeps it ([*Kind of business*](/docs/reference-business-profile#kind-of-business)). A business that never said is asked in the website's **Setup** list instead (beside Publish, until the website is first published), with a guess from its services already offered: one tap saves it and gives the draft that menu, before anything is public — Undo puts the pages back. A new website — or a template taken *with its pages* — names its pages and orders its menu the way businesses like yours do: a barbershop leads with *Barbers*, *Services* and *Location & Parking*; a nail salon with its price list, its gallery and *Contact*; a clinic with *Treatments & prices*; a massage studio with *Massages & prices*, *Therapists* and its gallery; a personal trainer with *About me* and *Training & prices*, a studio with *Classes & prices* and *Instructors*; a photographer with *Portfolio*. Every kind of business has the same pages — services, team, gallery, reviews where that trade shows them, the visit page (*Contact* for most) and an *About us* page under More — only their names and order differ. After that the names and order are yours, and a website you already have keeps its pages when you change your kind of business. Not chosen, a new website starts with Services, Team, Gallery, Contact and About us. **Keeping your pages changes the design only** — what Use starts on once your website has been published. Use takes the new template's layouts, its first look and its menu (or keeps your menu, if you choose); every page stays, in its order and with its name and address, and so does every section — hidden ones too — with its settings, your words, photos, bios, team photos and custom touches. Your own building blocks keep their arrangement. Switching back gives you the same site, and the look you had stays one click away in Style. **A template's own pages are one click away.** Open a template in the gallery and choose **Its pages** to see it with the template's own pages, then Use, with *Use its pages* chosen. Before the first publish, that is where Use starts. Your content comes along: your texts and photos; the bios and team photos just for the website; each section's settings, such as hidden or starred services or the team's order; your own building blocks, text, and questions and answers; the pages you added, with their names and addresses; and custom touches. What it takes is the template's layout: its pages in its order, with the pages you added after them; on each page its sections, in its order and its layouts; whether a services list shows the starred services or all of them, and how many reviews show; and its first look. So a section you removed comes back, and a section showing your booking details that you put where the template has none — your team on the home page, say — is left out, heading included. Your own sections stay on their page: on the home page just under the top photo, on the others just before the closing Call to action. A one-page template's pages fold your other pages into its one page; taking a template with several pages later brings its pages back with their names and addresses. **One long page or several pages is yours**, the **One long page** switch under your pages in Pages, in every template. Turned on, all your pages show on one long page, in their order, and the menu jumps to each; only what would say the same thing twice is left out there — the Calls to action between pages, the home page's starred services when the full list follows, and its few photos when the whole gallery follows. A page you keep out of the menu stays off the long page too, and says so in Pages. Nothing is deleted, either way: your pages, words and photos stay where they are, and turning it off brings each page back. On a published website it asks first, turning it on or off, and says what happens: once you publish, the pages' old addresses lead to their part of the long page, and search engines stop listing those pages on their own, until you turn it off again. Before your first publish it switches at once, with Undo. **+ Add a page** works in both: on one long page, the new page shows after the others. Each template offers ready-made looks, and Style lets you change everything a look sets: five colours, the fonts for headings and text, how thick the headings are (every heading at one weight, from Light to Black as the font has them — [Heading weight](/docs/reference-website-blocks#heading-weight)), heading size, corners, buttons filled or outlined, spacing, photos in colour, black and white or warm, and the top bar: solid, see-through (the page shows through it, blurred, as it scrolls under) or over the top photo. The website's colours are its own — your brand colour stays on your booking page and in your emails. **The footer** shows your name or logo, every page — each one has *In the footer* beside *In the menu* under Pages, on until you turn it off, because the menu folds some pages away — where to find you and, in columns, your opening hours. Under it, on every page, the crocodile and *Website made with Bookodile*. **Your social links** — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube — show as icons in the footer of every page, in every template. Paste a username or a profile's address at the bottom of the Pages tab, or ask Bookodile. They are your location's own, like its phone number, so a change reaches the published website without Publish. Every setting: [Social links in the footer](/docs/reference-website-blocks#social-links-in-the-footer). **Details**, folded under Style, change the finer points of the design: small labels over headings, cards filled, outlined or with a hairline edge, the lines under the menu and over the footer, a footer in one line or in columns, photos that zoom slowly under the pointer, a normal or wide page, and normal or tight headings. Each starts as the template's; a new design brings its own. A template may keep one it depends on, and Details then shows it without a switch. Every detail is listed in [Every building block and its settings](/docs/reference-website-blocks#details-of-the-design). **Publish waits for readable colours.** If text would be hard to read on its background, Publish refuses and says to fix the colours in Style first. ## Changing it by asking Bookodile In the website editor, **Ask Bookodile** is [AI Chat](/docs/ai-chat), beside a live preview of your website. Say what you want — "make it feel warmer", "add the questions customers always ask", "put a photo at the top of the team page" — and it changes the draft: - texts on any page, in any of the website's languages; - the languages themselves: adding one ("add English", with every text translated before the change appears), removing one, or translating one again when it reads badly; - the look — colours, fonts, corners, buttons and spacing — and the template; - sections and pages: adding, moving, hiding and removing them, and questions and answers; - which services and team members show on the website, and in what order; - photos, by their descriptions: the cover, the order, a description, or which photo sits at the top of a page — and the gallery's categories: adding and naming one, linking it to a service, and moving photos into it. It sees a photo's description and category, never the picture, so a photo with no description is left for you to sort; - a **custom touch** where no setting does it, such as rounder team photos — chosen from a fixed list of parts and values, never code. The change lands in the preview straight away, with **Undo**. It changes only the draft: **nothing is public until you press Publish**, which the chat never does for you. **Point at what you mean**: whatever you select on the preview goes into your message, and "make this shorter" changes exactly that. Ask it to **bring over your old website** and it reads up to 20 pages of it and rebuilds them as the website's own sections — the top of a page, a story beside its photo, three things side by side, questions and answers — with the old site's words as they are, and its photos (up to 40) copied into the places they stood, or into the Gallery. Bring the same site over again and a photo it already brought is used again, never copied a second time. A typical small business's site is six to ten pages. When the old site is in several languages, it reads the one your website is written in and offers the others once the website is done: it adds a language, then brings that language's own words over from the old site. When the old site's header has a logo, it asks whether to use it as yours too — on the booking page, in emails and on the website — and only on a yes shows it on a card to apply, where your own file can take its place: a logo taken from a website is often small or drawn for one background. Prices, durations, opening hours and the team always come from your booking setup, never from the old site. Nothing is public until you publish. When there is nothing it can bring over, it says why — the site didn't answer, it turns away automatic readers, or it draws its pages with scripts in the visitor's browser, so its address holds no words to read — and offers the way round: paste the old site's texts into the chat, a page at a time, and upload its photos. Ask it to **rewrite a template's texts for your business** — one page's, or every page's — and it writes the sample business's words the same way as the whole template's, from your setup, and shows each change on its card. Words that are already yours — ones you wrote, brought over from your old site or changed — are never rewritten from your setup: ask it to change the ones you name, and their prices, times, names and links stay unless you ask for a new one. **Fix spelling and grammar.** Ask it to fix the grammar or the spelling, on the whole site or one page, and Bookodile proofreads every text the site shows — page names, sections, the team's bios and role lines, and the photos' descriptions — in every language the site has, or the one you name. It corrects mistakes only: the wording, how you address your customers and every fact stay as they are. A correction that would change a number, a link or a name is left out, and the chat says how many it left. A barbershop's "Hľadáme baru" becomes "Hľadáme barbera" while its parking note keeps the zone, the hourly price and the app; a studio's class times and teacher's name stay exactly as written. The card shows each correction, with an Undo. **Start over.** Ask it to delete everything and start over and the website becomes what a new one is from its template — or another template you name: the template's pages, with the business's own services, team, hours and map, and nothing of what was there before. Every page you added, every text, every photo place, the team's website bios and role lines go. Your photos are a question of their own: the change asks whether they stay — with the gallery's categories and the team's website photos — or go to Recently deleted too, keeps them unless you choose **Delete them too**, and changes nothing until you press **Apply** on it. History keeps the whole website as it was just before, so it can be restored. Ask it to start over from your old website and it does both on one change: the new start, then the old site's pages brought over again, each page once. A photo it brought over from that site before is used again rather than copied; photos brought over before 4 November 2026 don't record where they came from, so when some may show twice the change says so, and choosing Delete brings each one in once. Nothing is public until you publish. **Empty the gallery.** Ask it to delete all the photos in your gallery and it takes every one out on a single change that says how many and waits for your **Apply**. A photo that also shows at the top of a page, in a building block or on a card stays there; the rest wait 30 days in [Recently deleted](#recently-deleted-photos), and Undo puts them all back. The gallery's categories stay, empty, ready for new photos. Your published website keeps showing the photos until you publish again. **Remove duplicate photos.** Ask it to remove the duplicates and it finds the photos that are the same file twice — the same picture uploaded, or brought over from an old website, more than once — and takes out every copy on one change, keeping the one that shows on a page, else the first. It also knows which photos your website shows nowhere: one kept for the top of a page or a block that has since gone isn't in the gallery or on any page, and only turns up when you choose a photo. It says so instead of calling it in use, and removes those when you ask. Asked to empty the gallery because of duplicates, it takes the copies that show nowhere on the same change. They wait 30 days in [Recently deleted](#recently-deleted-photos), like any removed photo. A change with many parts — an old website brought over is often ninety — shows how many pages, sections, texts and photos it changed, with every line one press away. ## What's missing on your website Ask **"What's missing on my website?"** — it is the first suggestion under the box in Ask Bookodile — and Bookodile reads your website and your booking setup and lists what a visitor would notice first: - no services yet, so there is nothing to book; - no address, so there are no directions; - fewer than six photos; - no about text; - team members without a photo or a bio; - services without a description; - no parking note; - no reviews yet — those fill in by themselves once customers leave them. Then it offers to fix them one at a time. Nothing changes until you pick one. On the preview, a section with nothing to show says why instead of only "Nothing to show yet": **Services** with no services says so and offers **Add services**, which asks Bookodile in the chat beside it, and **Reviews** with none says they appear once customers leave them. Visitors never see these notes. Your website never fills a gap with sample text, people or prices: what you see is what you have. ## Changing it by hand **Edit by hand** has four tabs: **Pages**, **Style**, **Languages** and **History**. Ask Bookodile and Edit by hand change the same draft, so you can switch between them at any time. - **Pages** lists your pages; each one opens into its sections. Add a page (About us, Careers, Academy or a blank page), choose whether it is in the menu, rename it, and set its title and description for search results. Sections can be added, moved, hidden and removed: Top of the page, Services, Gallery, Team, Reviews, Visit us, Map, a Call to action, Text, Questions and answers, and building blocks of text and photos. **Add a section** lists them one a row, each with a small drawing of how it looks and a line saying what it is. The Team section is also where a team member's role and website-only bio are written. Every section's switches are listed in [Every building block and its settings](/docs/reference-website-blocks). - **Undo and redo** go back a hundred steps. - **Everything saves as you go**, into the draft. If someone else saved the website a moment before you, your save is refused and the editor offers to reload — it never overwrites their work. - **The preview** shows exactly what a visitor will get, on a computer or a phone. **Computer** always shows the computer version, made smaller to fit beside the chat, and the percent next to it says how much. Click the percent for **Actual size**, which is wider than the space and scrolls sideways, or **Fill this space**, which lays the page out at the width of the space, so you can drag the chat's edge and watch the layout change. This only changes how the preview shows your website, never the website. - **Book** in the preview opens your booking page in preview mode, where nothing is booked or sent. Renaming a page moves its address; the old address keeps working and sends visitors to the new one. ## Editing on the preview On a computer or a tablet, three tools sit at the bottom of the preview. **Select** (S): click a heading, a card or a section to select it; a section gets a toolbar to move, change its Layout, Change to another kind, duplicate, hide or remove it, and **Add section** on its edges. A question in Questions and answers, a column in Photo columns or an extra card after the team — or any text in one — gets a toolbar of its own instead: move it up and down (left and right when they stand side by side), remove it with Undo, or **Whole section** to go back to the section's toolbar. Alt and an arrow key move it too, and in **Edit by hand** each one has the same arrows. A translation you wrote by hand stays with its question or card when it moves. **Text** (T): click your own text and type; Enter keeps it, Esc puts it back. A long text opens with a small bar above it — bold, italic, a link, and sub-headings in a Text block — and there Enter starts a new paragraph and ⌘Enter keeps it ([details](/docs/reference-website-blocks#formatting-your-texts)). **Use the site** (U): links work as for a visitor. Booking details (prices, names, hours) are never typed over: a click says where they change. **Change to** keeps the words; when they must be split or joined, Bookodile rewrites them ([details](/docs/reference-website-blocks#changing-a-block-into-another)). ## Editing on a phone On a phone (a screen under 768 pixels wide) the editor gives your website the screen. One row sits at the top: the menu, a switch between **Chat**, **Edit** and **Preview**, Undo once there is something to undo, and a globe for **Your website**, with a dot while a change isn't published yet. The dashboard's own top bar, its bell and the tab bar at the bottom are not shown on this screen; the menu reaches everything they do. - **Your website** holds what is about the website as a whole: **Publish** first, the address to copy or open, **Setup** until the first publish, Undo and Redo, History, your booking page as customers see it, and the website's settings. Before the first publish it opens by itself once. If the check refuses a text, the list is there, and **Show** takes you to that text on the website. - **Tap to select.** Tap a heading, a photo, a button or a section. A bar at the bottom names it, with moving it up and down beside the name, and two ways on: **Edit by hand** opens its settings in a sheet under the website, which changes as you type — drag the sheet's handle up for more room, or tap it to go nearly full screen and back; the phone remembers the height you chose — and **Ask Bookodile** opens the chat about it. **⋯** holds Add a section above or below, Layout, Change to, Duplicate, Hide and Remove. - **Links still work.** A link that only leads somewhere — the menu, **All services →**, **More photos →**, the buttons at the top of a page — opens its page in the preview. A button you set up yourself is selected instead, with **Open link** in its bar. To see the website exactly as a visitor does, open its address from **Your website**. - **Text opens above the keyboard.** Tap a selected text again, or press **Edit text**. The box holds the words your website shows — a default too, such as your business's name in the headline, chosen whole so typing replaces it — and the website above changes as you type. **Done** keeps it, **Cancel** puts it back. - **Gallery order as a list.** Tap a gallery photo, then **Reorder photos**: drag a photo by its handle, or move it with the arrows, one category at a time; the website above numbers the photos as you go. Tap a photo for Replace and Remove too, and tap it again to open it large, as a visitor sees it. - **In Edit**, a section's row opens that section on the website, with its settings under it. - **Links**: the website's own menu and footer work in the preview; a button you selected has **Open link**. Booking details (prices, names, hours) are never typed over: the bar says where they change, with a link there. ## Languages Your website's main language is your location's own, from Business profile ([Main language](/docs/reference-business-profile#booking-page-language)). In **Languages** you can add up to seven more. Seventeen languages are available in all: English, Slovak, Czech, Vietnamese, German, Hungarian, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian and Chinese. - **Bookodile translates everything** as soon as a language is added — the website's own texts, and your service names and descriptions, categories, team bios, the team's categories from Employees shown under their names, business description, and the announcements, promotions and events your website shows — in the way a local copywriter would rather than word for word. When a text changes, its translations are written again. - **Add several at once.** Each language appears in the list straight away, marked **Waiting**, and Bookodile translates them one after another in the order of the list. **Translating…** stays until the preview shows the translated words. Remove a language while it is translating and the next one starts. If one couldn't be translated, its card says so, with **Try again**. - **Every language is named twice** — in its own words and in the language you read your dashboard in, such as *Slovenščina (Slovenian)*, so Slovenian is never mistaken for Slovak. Search the list by either name or by the language's two-letter code (`sl`). - **The order is yours.** Drag a language, or use its arrows, to move it. Your website's language menu and your booking page's language picker list your languages in that order, your main language always first. On a website that is already live the new order shows at once, without **Publish**. - **Corrections by hand are kept.** A website text you correct in another language is never translated over, even when the original changes — **Translate again** hands it back to Bookodile. A corrected service name, description, category or bio stays until you change the original, and is then translated afresh — corrected here, or under **See translations** in the service's, category's or team member's own form, which edit the same text. - **See and edit the texts** shows every original with its translation beneath. - **From the chat too.** Ask Bookodile to add, remove or re-translate a language and it does the same, on one change with **Undo**: added, the translations are written before the change appears; translated again, every line except the ones you corrected by hand. The main language stays your location's own — it is changed in Business profile, not from the chat. - A new language goes live at your next **Publish**, once every text is written in it. Each language has its own addresses, such as `/de/` for German. - **Your website and your booking page share one list of languages.** The same languages are under **Also in** in Business profile, so adding or removing one here or there changes both. Every one is offered on the booking page too, with a language picker, and every Book button on the website opens the booking page in the language of the page it is on ([Other languages your customers read](/docs/reference-business-profile#other-languages-your-customers-read)). ## Photos Photos make the biggest difference, and you add them where they show: the top of a page, a building block, each card of a Photo columns block or of the Team section's extra cards, the gallery, each service's cover and each team member's portrait. In the editor's preview every one of those places has its own **Add a photo** or **Change image** button. Add several at once to the gallery with **Add photos**, or drag photos in from your computer. A photo you add to the gallery goes first, so you see it straight away where you added it — also where a page shows only the gallery's first few photos, as the home page often does. Move it anywhere in the order afterwards. A photo added for a service goes right after that service's cover, so the cover stays. A team member's portrait and a service's cover each offer two photos: - **A photo just for the website** — full quality, cut to fit the design, live when you publish. For a service, it joins that service's photos on the website, first. - **The one from the booking page** — the team member's profile photo, or the service's own photo from **Services**. Changing it there or from here changes the booking page too, straight away. The website shows its own photo when it has one, and the booking page's otherwise. **Use this one** on the other switches it — the website's photo is kept, just not shown. Each photo is resized on your own device before it is uploaded, and its location and camera details are removed on the way. A photo can carry a description, for screen readers and search engines. Until you add photos, those places show a plain placeholder. A service with photos on the website gets its own page there, with them on it. The service's own photo from **Services** alone does not give it one. ### Choosing a photo you already have Once your business has photos, every place that takes one also offers **Choose from your photos**, first: the top of a page, a building block, a card, the gallery's **Add photos**, the photo field in **Edit by hand**, and the windows for a team member's portrait and a service's cover. On a phone it is in the bar under the site when you tap a photo's place. It opens all of your website's photos in one window, with your team members' profile photos and your services' own photos from **Services** beside them. One of those is copied to your website when you use it, once: after that it is one of the website's photos. Two filters narrow them down, and the numbers beside each say how many are left: - **What**: Uploaded, Enhanced, Made with AI, From your old website. - **Where**: Gallery (and then its categories), Team, Services, Pages, or **Not used anywhere**. A search box finds photos by their description. Newest come first unless you choose the oldest. Tap a photo to see what it is, when it was added and every place it shows. Photos that suit the place come first under **For this place**: a team member's own photos for their portrait, the service's photos for its cover, and photos not used anywhere yet for everything else. **Use this photo** puts it in place. The photo is not copied, so the same photo can show in several places. A few places work differently: - **The gallery's Add photos** lets you pick several. It offers only photos the gallery does not show yet. - **A gallery category's Choose from your photos** moves the photos into that category. A photo is in one category at a time. - **A service's cover** moves the photo into that service's photos, first. **Upload** in the same window uploads a new photo instead. **Not used anywhere** is also where you find photos that show nowhere, for example ones left over after starting over. ### Photos made with AI Where a place on the website has no photo yet — the top of a page, a building block, a card, a service's cover — **Add a photo** offers **Upload your image** and **Create with AI**, after **Choose from your photos** once the website has photos. The gallery's **Add photos** offers the same, and the photo manager has **Create with AI** beside its **Add**, so you can add a made photo to the gallery too. A place for a photo of your team or of the outside of your place offers only your own photo. Bookodile makes a photo for that place from what the place is (the service's name and description, the kind of photo the template asked for there, or what you write under *What should it show?*) and from your photo style. It takes about twenty seconds. **Try again** makes another, and nothing on the website changes until **Use this**: then it goes into that place like a photo you uploaded, live when you publish. A place with a photo has **Enhance** beside **Change image**: a section's photo, a card, a team member's portrait, a service's cover, and a photo in the Gallery — point at it on a computer, tap it on a phone — or a gallery photo you tap in the photo manager. A team member's or a service's own photo has it too, under **Edit avatar** on their page and in Settings → Profile. The window opens on *What should change?*, for your own words: *remove the hand and put it on a plain background*. They can be in any language, with or without accents, and there is nothing to set. Under it are ideas to tap, any number, chosen for your kind of business and the photo: a barbershop gets **Sweep up the hair**, a nail studio **Fresh white towel**, a massage studio **Make up the table**, a gym **Line up the weights** and a physio **Hide the patient's face**. A business that hasn't said what it is gets a general list. Below them are pictures of looks, for when it's easier to point at one: on a person, one each for the background, the light and what they wear, and they combine; on a room or finished work, a look for that. A person's light includes a **Studio portrait**, lit the way a portrait photographer would with the room behind gone soft, and **Bold black and white**. A room can look like a magazine's interior photo (**Magazine style**) or go **Black and white**. Finished work can take **Studio light**; where it can be lifted out of the room — a haircut, a set of nails — a **Dark backdrop** as well as a plain one; and a massage studio's work a **Cosy evening**. Each picture is a real result on a sample photo. Words, ideas and a look all go together, and any one of them is enough. **In your shop** (your studio, your clinic, your gym) puts a person or a piece of work into your own place. Press **Choose a photo** on its picture and pick from your website's photos or upload your own, several at once if you like. One is enough; you can choose up to three, and **Change photos** picks again. What you upload here is kept for your business, so it is there next time on your phone and your computer alike, and it doesn't join your website's photos; the **×** on one removes it. Only your own photos are offered: a room Bookodile made up is a place customers can't find. The room is redrawn from your photo, so look at it before **Use this**: it is close to your place, not a copy of it. Then drag the line across the photo to compare it before and after. **Use this** puts the enhanced photo in the original's place everywhere it shows. The original is kept, with every version you make of it. In the photo manager a photo with versions shows a small stack and its **Versions**, the original first: tap one to show it in that spot instead. **Choose from your photos** lists the photo once, and its versions under it, so any place can go back to the original. The original and its versions leave the website together, into Recently deleted, only once none of them shows anywhere. **Keep the original** in the window leaves the photo as it was. A team member's portrait and a service's cover on the website take the new photo as **a photo just for the website**: it goes live when you publish, and the booking page keeps its photo. The website photo from before is kept as its original. **Use on the booking page too** copies a team member's there as well, without spending another photo. Enhance under **Edit avatar** changes the one photo the booking page and the website share, when you save it. Every photo a save replaces there is kept, and **Earlier photos** in the same window lists them, the original first: tap one and save to use it again. A person with several locations has one photo across them. Enhance keeps people and work as they are. Light, sharpness, the background and clothes can change; a person's face, age, weight, skin, hair and tattoos can't, and neither can the work itself. A request for one of those is left out, and the window says so; if nothing else was asked, no photo is used. You confirm that a person in the photo is OK with you editing it, once for each person, beside **Enhance**. ### Ask Bookodile to make photos In the website editor's chat, say what you want: *make a photo for Skin fade, a clean fade from behind on a dark background*, or *a photo for Deep tissue massage, warm towels on a table*. One photo starts straight away and lands on the service, in your draft, with **Undo** beside it. Say nothing about the picture and it works from the service's name and description and your photo style. Say *make the background lighter* and it changes that photo instead of making a new one. Ask for several, such as *a photo for each of my services*, and a card lists what it will make, with how many that uses and how long it takes. Services that already have a photo are left out. Untick any you don't want; nothing is made or used until you press **Make**. They appear in place, three at a time, and take about a minute and a half for ten. It makes ten at a time, so you see the look before using more of the month's photos, and then **Make the rest** carries on. If fewer are left this month than you asked for, it makes what it can and says when they come back. A photo for a service goes on the service on your website; your booking page keeps the service's own photo. If a services section is set to hide its photos, as one template is, they are turned on with the new photos and the card says so; **Undo** turns them off again. If a photo couldn't show anyway, say the service is hidden from your website, the card says that too. It takes the same rules as the buttons: no photos of people, your team or the outside of your business, which need real photos. **Undo** takes a photo off your website, but that photo still counts towards the month, because it was already made. The photos are made in your browser, so closing the tab stops the ones not started; what's made stays. From the chat elsewhere in the dashboard, the card sends you to the website editor to make them. #### Changing a photo Bookodile made or enhanced Once a photo is made or enhanced, say what should change under **What should change?** — *remove the hand*, *clear the background*, *warmer light* — and Bookodile changes that photo rather than making a new one, keeping everything else as it was. Each version stays in a row under the photo: tap an earlier one to go back to it, or to change it in another direction. **Use this** puts the one on screen on your website. Each change counts as one of the month's photos. Asking for black and white, on its own or with anything else, works here and in Enhance. With something else it is done as a last step, so it takes about half a minute rather than twenty seconds, and it still counts as one photo. **Photo style** — Edit by hand → Style → **Photo style for new photos** — is how photos Bookodile makes for your website should look. Pick up to three of your own photos and **Read the style from them**: Bookodile describes their light, colours and mood in a few lines you can change. Add a line about your place, or start from a look — Like my photos, Bright and airy, Warm and cozy, Clean studio, Moody. All of it is optional; with none of it, a new photo follows only what its place is. What a made photo never is: - **A face or a made-up person.** It shows hands, a back, the room or the result — never a team member. Team photos are always your own. - **In the gallery, unless you put it there.** One made with the gallery's own **Create with AI** goes into the gallery, among your photos; one made for a service's cover shows on the cover and the service's page, not among the gallery's photos. A made photo never counts towards the photos the setup list asks for. - **The outside of your place.** Customers look for the real door, so that place takes only a photo you upload. - **Words, signs or logos**, or black and white unless you ask for it: it is made in colour, the Photos setting under Style can show every photo in black and white, and **What should change?** turns one photo black and white. The photo manager marks a photo Bookodile made or enhanced, so you know which ones to swap for your own later. Visitors see no label. A barbershop with no photos yet can open with a made photo at the top of its home page and on the covers of its two most booked services, and swap them for its own over the first month; a massage studio whose photos of the room came out dim can run **Better light** over each one. ### What the gallery shows The gallery shows the photos you put there: added with the gallery's own **Add photos**, put in one of its categories, or brought over into it from an old website. A photo you put at the top of a page, in a building block, beside a map or on a card shows in that place only — a photo of the shop front on the Location page does not turn up among the haircuts. **Choose from your photos** in a category brings one into the gallery as well. **Remove** and **Replace** on a gallery photo change the gallery only. A photo that also shows somewhere else on the website stays there; only one that shows nowhere else leaves the website. ### Recently deleted photos A photo you remove from the website — with **Remove** in the gallery when no other place shows it, by replacing it, by giving a team member or a service another photo just for the website, or by asking Bookodile to empty the gallery or start over without your photos — goes to **Recently deleted** and stays there for 30 days, like the Recently Deleted album on a phone. You find it under the gallery's categories: Pages → the page with the gallery → Gallery → **Recently deleted**, each photo with the days it has left. Tick photos and **Restore** to put them back among the website's photos, in no category. Undo, and restoring a version from History, bring back a photo that is still there too. After the 30 days the photo is deleted for good, its files included, and nobody can bring it back — Bookodile neither. A photo your live website still shows waits until you publish without it, and one an earlier published version still shows waits as long as Bookodile keeps that version, so 30 days is the least a photo stays, never the most. Photos you have not removed are never deleted, whether or not a page shows them. ### Gallery categories The gallery's photos can be grouped into **categories** you name — for example Beards and Fades at a barbershop, or Galaxy nails at a nail studio. A photo is in one category at a time, or in none. In the editor: Pages → the page with the gallery → Gallery → **Categories**. **Add photos** inside a category puts new photos straight into it, and **Choose from your photos** moves several photos already on the website at once. - **Link a category to a service** (its **Book button** setting) and opening one of its photos shows the service, its duration and price, and **Book** — the booking page opens with that service already chosen. Its photos are also that service's photos: they show on the service's own page, and the first of them is its cover. Two categories can link to the same service — say a cut and a signature style that is booked as the same cut. - **Leave a category without a service** for photos that book nothing, such as the premises. Opening one shows its name only. - **The name** shows on its tab and when one of its photos is opened. A linked category can leave it empty to use the service's own name, translated with the rest of your services. Category names are translated like every text on the website. - **Photos in no category** show under All only, and any of them can be the photo at the top of a page — it then shows in both places. Each gallery has its own switches, under Gallery in the editor: - **Show a tab for each category** — on. Visitors tap a tab to see one category's photos. Tabs show once two categories have photos; a gallery that previews a few photos on Home has them off until you turn them on. - **Start on an "All" tab** — on. Off, the first category's tab is chosen, and photos in no category are left out of that gallery; the editor says how many. - **Photo descriptions: show them on the site** — off. On, a photo that has a description shows it when the photo is opened, and on a computer when the pointer is over it. Photos without one show nothing. - **Show the service's price and duration** — on, beside Book when a photo in a linked category is opened. Off, the service's name and Book still show. Visitors open a photo by tapping it: it shows large, with its category, and a swipe on a phone or the arrows on a computer move to the next photo of the same tab. Nothing is written under the photos in the grid. Each opened photo has its own address, so a link to it can be shared. **When a linked service changes.** A service that is switched off or deleted leaves its category in place as a name only, with no Book button; switched on again, Book comes back by itself. A service hidden on the website shows no Book button either, and its photos stay in a category you named — but not in one that only carried the service's name. A service offered only as an extra can't be linked: the booking page never starts a booking with one. ## Publishing, drafts and History Every change goes into a **draft** that customers cannot see. **Publish** puts the draft live, usually within a minute. Before it publishes, a quick check runs: - your email address must be confirmed; - the colours must be readable; - the texts that changed since the last publish — every text on a first publish — are read by an automatic check for spam, scams, sexual services, attacks on people, illegal goods and pretending to be someone else. If it refuses a text, nothing is published and the editor lists what to change. Sometimes it publishes but keeps the website out of search engines until a person at Bookodile has had a quick look; the editor says so. **Before the first publish, Setup sits beside Publish**: a short list of what only you can add to a website built from your booking setup — whether you have an old website to bring texts from, the design, your services (until there is at least one), photos of your work, your about text, team bios, service descriptions, and parking and directions. Each one continues in Ask Bookodile, beside the preview; what you already answered while getting started in AI Chat shows as done. **Hide this list** puts it away, and **⌘K → Website setup** brings it back. It goes once the website is published. **History** lists the last 30 versions: each publish, each template change, each restore, each change made from AI Chat — with the site as it was just before it, so a chat change can always be taken back even after the card's Undo is gone — and a saved point at most every half hour while you edit. **Restore** puts a version into your draft — nothing goes live until you publish — and warns first if a service or team member it showed no longer exists, or a photo it showed was deleted for good (see [Recently deleted photos](#recently-deleted-photos)). A version keeps pages, texts and style; prices, hours, team and reviews are always today's. ## Your website's address Your website lives at `yourname.bookodile.com`, where *yourname* is the same address name as your booking page at `bookodile.com/yourname`. Both are set in **Settings → Website & booking page → Address**, and changing the name moves both; the old addresses keep working and lead to the new ones. Every **Book** button on the website opens your booking page at `bookodile.com/yourname` — the same page, the same sign-in and the same **My Bookings** your customers use everywhere. A service's own Book button opens the booking page with that service already chosen. The address stays the same when you publish, switch the website off or edit it, so a printed QR code or a link in a bio keeps working. ## Connecting your own domain Once the website is switched on, **Your own domain** in **Settings → Website & booking page** connects a domain you already own. From the website editor, **Settings** at the top right of the screen opens that page. The domain stays yours, at whoever you bought it from: Bookodile only connects it. ### The two records Type the domain as `yourbusiness.com`. Bookodile names your registrar when it recognises it, and lists **two records** to add where your domain's DNS is managed: - a **TXT** record named `_bookodile`, whose value proves the domain is yours, so nobody else can connect it; - a **CNAME** record named `www`, pointing at `connect.bookodile.com`. **Your website's address becomes `www.yourbusiness.com`** — it is always the www address. Beside the two records the screen lists a third, an **A record** that makes the name without www open it too (below). Nothing else needs to change, and your email records stay as they are. If your DNS is on Cloudflare, the CNAME and the A record must both be set to DNS only, not proxied. ### The name without www People type `yourbusiness.com` without www, so the screen lists a third record for it: type **A**, name `@`, value `165.245.202.126`. That address is Bookodile's own redirect server, which sends `yourbusiness.com` on to `https://www.yourbusiness.com` with one permanent (301) redirect, keeping the rest of the address (`yourbusiness.com/book` goes to `www.yourbusiness.com/book`). An A record is the one record type every DNS host offers, so it is the same at every registrar. - **It works over `https://` too.** The first secure visit to a newly added name takes a few seconds while its certificate is issued; every visit after is instant, and the certificate renews by itself. - **Anything else on `@` goes first** — a URL redirect or forwarding set up earlier, another A record (an old website, a parking page) or an AAAA record. Two answers for the same name means some visitors land on the old one. - **www stays the address.** The name without www only ever leads to it; links, QR codes and printed material can use either. - **Bookodile checks it like the records.** It opens `yourbusiness.com` and ticks the A record once `https://yourbusiness.com` leads to the www address. It never holds the website back — www goes live on its own — but the screen keeps asking for the A record until it works, and on a live domain Bookodile looks again every two hours. If the name still goes through a registrar's old redirect that answers only `http://`, the screen says so and asks for it to be replaced with the A record. ### When someone else looks after your domain Many owners did not buy their domain themselves, or have never added a DNS record. Two ways out sit above the records: - **Send instructions** writes a ready message for whoever looks after your domain — a web developer, an IT person or a friend — with all three records exactly as they must be typed, where the DNS is, what must leave `@` first, and what to leave alone. It is in your dashboard's language, you can change the wording, and you send it yourself: share it, copy it, or open it in your own email. Bookodile sends nothing. - **Ask Bookodile** opens AI Chat beside the records. It reads what your domain answers right now and says what is wrong — a record with the wrong value, an old website still on www — one step at a time. It cannot connect or disconnect a domain; that is done on this screen. ### How the check works Bookodile checks the records every 30 minutes, and **Check now** checks at once. Records usually take effect within an hour of being added. Once they are right, the domain is secured — usually a few minutes, shown as *Securing your domain* — then your website is put on it within about a minute (*Going live*), and the domain shows **Live**. From then on your Bookodile address leads to your domain. **The domain shows your website only once it is published.** The editor's preview is only yours; until the first **Publish**, the screen says *Your website isn't published yet* in red, above everything else, with a button to the website editor, and a live domain shows *Not published yet* instead of *Going live*. **Disconnect** puts the website back on its Bookodile address. ### If your domain stops reaching your website A live domain is checked again **every day**. It counts as gone wrong when www no longer points at Bookodile, when another Bookodile website has proved the domain is theirs, or when the domain cannot be kept secured. Then: 1. The domain shows **Needs attention**, with the records as they stand and the time your website will move, and an email goes out at once — with the records, ready to forward, when the fix is at your registrar, or saying there is nothing to do when the fault is on Bookodile's side. 2. While it fails, the domain is checked every 30 minutes, and one right check puts everything back to normal. 3. **If it is still failing after an hour** — in practice between one hour and an hour and a half — your website moves back to `yourname.bookodile.com`, so customers still reach it, and a second email says so. Nothing is lost: put the records back and the website returns to your domain by itself. A TXT record tidied away on its own does not move the website — it still works there — but the screen asks for the record back. A check that cannot tell, such as when your DNS provider is down, changes nothing. **Who is emailed:** the owner, and every active team member at that location who can sign in and whose role opens Settings — at most two emails each time a domain goes wrong. Each person can turn these emails off in **Settings → Notifications**, under **Your own domain**. ## Showing up in search engines **One switch covers your website and your booking page**: *Show my business in search results*, in the Address section of **Settings → Website & booking page**, on unless you turn it off. Off asks search engines to leave both out; anyone with the link can still visit and book. - **Every page has its own title and description for search results**, in every language. Leave them empty and the page's name and your business description are used. - **A new website waits before it is listed**: until your business has had a booking made online by someone outside your team, or until 14 days after you first publish, whichever comes first — so a half-finished site is not what gets listed. A business that already takes online bookings is usually past this the day it publishes. - A website the publish check is holding for a person to look at stays out of search until it has been looked at, and demo workspaces are never listed. - Each website has its own sitemap, and search engines that support IndexNow are told when a listed page changes. Search engines decide for themselves what to show and when. Nobody can promise a position or a date. ## Website visits **Reports → Website visits** shows, for the last 7, 30 or 90 days next to the period before: how many people visited, how many pages they viewed, how many opened your booking page from the website and how many booked; visitors by day; where they came from — Google search, Google Maps, Instagram, Facebook, a link they typed, and others — with how many of each booked; your campaigns; your most viewed pages; and how many visitors were on a phone. - **Counted without cookies.** Nothing is stored on a visitor's phone, no script runs on the website, and no IP address is kept. - **Links to share** gives tagged links for an Instagram bio, a Facebook page, a Google business profile and a TikTok bio, so the report knows where those visitors came from — apps often hide it otherwise. - The numbers update every few hours. - **Honest limits:** a visitor who comes back on another day counts again, your own visits count too, and robots that pretend to be browsers can get through. The report needs a role that sees every report. ## Announcements, promotions and events Three add-ons reach the website as well as the booking page, and each item decides for itself: an announcement, a promotion and an event each have a **Your website** switch on their form, on unless you turn it off. - **Announcements** run along the top of every page, above the menu — no section needed. Two at most, the first two in the Announcements list's order. - **Promotions** show in a **Promotions** section, as cards with both prices. - **Events** show in an **Events** section (the next three, or all of them), and on an **Events** page if you add one under **Add a page**. Add the sections under **Pages → Add a section → From your add-ons**. When something is set to show but the website has no place for it, its form says so with the fix as one button — **Add it to Home** or **Show it** — which changes the draft; publish to show it. Once the section is there, the website updates by itself as items start, end or fill up, without Publish. Every setting of each block is in [Every building block](/docs/reference-website-blocks#offers-events-and-announcements). ## Who can change the website Anyone whose role can open Settings at that location can switch the website on and off, edit and publish it, and connect a domain. Changing what comes from the booking setup — a service's own photo, a team member's profile photo — also needs the role to manage services or the team. Each location's website is its own: a second branch has its own website, address and domain. ## Worked examples **A barbershop with an old website.** The owner switches the website on, picks Luxe Two in the gallery, and asks Bookodile to bring over the words from the old site. The prices and the team are already there, from the booking setup. After adding photos of the shop and publishing, the domain is connected: the nephew who bought it years ago gets the message from **Send instructions** and adds the two records the same evening. **A physiotherapy clinic with many patients from abroad.** The clinic keeps Classic One, adds English and German, and rewrites its German welcome line by hand — that line is never translated over. The booking page stays in the clinic's own language. **A personal coach with no domain.** The coach uses `yourname.bookodile.com` as is, puts the tagged Instagram link from **Website visits** in the bio, and a month later can see how many visitors came from Instagram and how many booked. **A nail studio with a signature set.** The studio puts ten photos of its galaxy design in a category called Galaxy nails, linked to its gel manicure. A visitor who opens one sees the price, taps Book, and lands on the booking page with the gel manicure already chosen. A barbershop does the same with a Beards category linked to its beard trim. **A nail salon redecorating.** The salon switches its published website to Bold One to try it: the design changes, and its pages, its price list and the About page it wrote stay as they were. It keeps working on the draft for a week while the published site stays as it was, and when the new photos are in, publishes. History keeps the old design one click away. **A personal trainer with little to say.** The trainer's site has Home, Services, Team and Visit us, each a few lines long, so the trainer turns on **One long page**: everything reads top to bottom, and the menu jumps down it. A yoga studio on one long page that later adds a teacher-training page turns it off, and every page has its own address again, with nothing to rebuild. **A salon and a clinic on the preview.** A hair salon turns its three promises into three photo cards with **Change to**, word for word; a dental clinic turns a long text into questions and answers, which Bookodile rewrites to fit. ## Limits - **No blog and no online shop.** The website shows your business and sends customers to book; it does not sell products or take payments. - **No code of your own.** No scripts, chat widgets, analytics tags, tracking pixels or custom CSS run on the website. Custom touches come from a fixed list, added through AI Chat. - **No contact form and no videos** — photos, text, your phone number and your address. - **Social links are icons for four networks** — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. No WhatsApp, X, LinkedIn or Pinterest, and no feed of your posts. - **The map is Google's.** It shows only when the business is on Google Maps and Business profile has its link — or the Google reviews add-on does; there is no map of an address alone. One link per location: every map on its website shows the same business. Open on the page, it loads with the page and Google sees the visit. - **Formatting in a text is bold, italic, links and sub-headings.** No colours, underline, lists or other fonts inside a text; a link goes to a web address, an email or a phone number. Sections, questions and cards move with arrows, not by dragging. - **A removed photo is deleted for good after 30 days in Recently deleted** — there is no way to delete one sooner, and none to get one back after. - **A photo is in one gallery category**, never several at once. An opened photo closes with its × or the back button, not the Esc key. - **Choose from your photos lists this location's photos only**, never another location's. - **Earlier photos are kept for a team member's profile photo and a service's own photo from 4 November 2026.** Before that date, only the photo from before the first Enhance was kept. - **Announcements kept for customers who have booked before stay on the booking page.** The website is the same page for every visitor, so it cannot tell who has booked. At most two announcements show on the website at once. - **An old website's addresses are not redirected to the new pages.** Its photos are copied in while the website editor is open — they wait in the draft until it is — at most 40 at a time. A photo brought over before 4 November 2026 doesn't record which address it came from, so bringing the same site over again copies it a second time; ask Bookodile to remove the duplicates, or start over with **Delete them too** and bring it over once more. A copy is the same file: the same picture brought over once in Safari and once in another browser is saved differently, and isn't found. A site whose pages are drawn only by scripts in the visitor's browser, or that turns away automatic readers, can't be read; the chat says so and takes the texts pasted instead. - **Rewritten texts are written by AI, from your setup.** Read them — above all answers to questions and anything that sounds like a promise — and correct any line by hand. Rewriting shares the website's daily writing ceiling with translation; it only stops runaway use. The template's texts come only through the website editor's gallery. - **The name without www is an A record to Bookodile's redirect server.** The website's address on your own domain is always www; `yourbusiness.com` opens it, over `http://` and `https://`, through the A record on `@` the screen lists (`165.245.202.126`) — once anything else on `@` is removed. - **Domain names with accented letters cannot be connected yet.** One domain per website, and a domain can be live on only one website. - **Booking is not on your domain.** Every Book button opens your booking page on `bookodile.com/yourname`. - **Every page's footer carries *Report this site* and *Website made with Bookodile* with the crocodile.** Neither can be removed. A website reported for breaking the rules can be taken down by Bookodile; its address then opens your booking page and the owner is emailed the reason. - **There is no "publish later".** Publish is immediate; your booking data, on the other hand, reaches the live website without Publish. - **Photos made with AI are a stand-in, not a record.** Look at each one before **Use this**: it shows a place like yours, not yours. Each business — all its locations together — can make or enhance 30 photos a month, **Try again** and every change included; the count starts again on the 1st and is shown in the window. Making or improving a photo sends it, the photos you picked for your photo style, and any photos you chose for **In your shop**, to an image model outside the EU; it isn't kept there for training. - **Enhance needs someone who can save the photo.** It shows for whoever manages the website, and on a team member's or a service's photo for whoever manages the team or services. Demo workspaces don't have it. - **Translations are written by AI** and can be imperfect: read them, and correct any line by hand. Translation has a daily ceiling per business that only stops runaway use; past it, the rest follows the next day. - **These limits only stop misuse**, and a real website sits far below them: 12 pages, 25 sections on a page, 8 languages including the main one, 30 questions and answers in one section, 1,000 photos on a website, 60 gallery categories, 200 photo uploads a day per location and 30 publishes an hour. A busy business shows a few dozen photos in three to six categories. - **Search engines decide what they show.** A listed website is not a ranked one.
