# A preview Bookodile made for your business

> What the website and booking page in your link are, who can see them, how to try a booking, how to make them yours with just your email, and what happens if you don't.

Bookodile sometimes builds a preview for a business that has not signed up yet: a
one-page website and a booking page, made from the business's current website. If
you were sent a link to one, it was made for you, and it is waiting for you to look
at it, try it, and decide.

The bar along the top of every page of it says what it is, the date it will be
deleted, and gives you three choices: **Make it mine**, **Book a test** and
**Remove this preview**.

## Who can see your preview

Only people with the link. It is not listed anywhere, search engines are told not
to show it, and nothing on bookodile.com links to it. Your customers will not find
it, and nobody is sent to it but you.

The link was sent to your business. Anyone who has it can make the preview theirs,
so don't forward it — and if it reached the wrong person, remove it.

## What is in it, and where it came from

Everything was read from your current website — or, when your only web presence is a
social profile, from the online booking page it links to:

- **Your services, prices and durations**, where your website states them. A nail
  salon whose website lists "Gel manicure — 650" gets that service at that price;
  a massage studio whose website says "prices on request" gets its services with no
  price shown (the booking page says "Custom" there instead).
- **Your address, phone number and opening hours**, when your website gives them.
- **Your team, when the page names who does what.** Each person is set up with the
  services they do. A business that prices by level gets those levels as team
  categories with a price each — a barbershop's "Top Barber" at 40 and "Barber" at 35
  for the same cut, or a hair salon's senior and junior stylists — and customers see the
  level beside each name.
- **Services grouped by what they are** (cuts, beard, manicure), whatever groups your
  old tool used. A service listed once per level there is one service here.
- **The words on the website**, written for your business from those facts.

The photos are **not yours**. They are placeholders from the website's design, each
marked "Your photo goes here". You add your own once it is yours.

## Book a test

**Book a test** opens your booking page and lets you go through a whole booking:
choose a service, a day and a time, fill in the details, confirm. At the end it says
that nothing was saved and no email was sent — because nothing was. No booking is
made, nobody is emailed, and no calendar changes.

## Make it yours

**Make it mine** asks for your email address and sends you a code. There is no card
and no password. When you type the code:

- the website and the booking page become yours, in your own Bookodile account, and
  you are signed in;
- you land on your dashboard, with one thing to do first: check the services and
  prices we read from your website;
- your **booking page** is live at `bookodile.com/<your business's name>` from then
  on — the bar on the preview shows the exact address;
- your **website** stays a draft until you publish it, when you are ready.

If you are already signed in to Bookodile, you can make it yours with that account
in one tap instead.

It starts on the free plan. What it costs after that, and when, is on
[What Bookodile costs](/docs/what-bookodile-costs).

## If you don't make it yours

It is deleted, with everything in it, on the date shown in the bar. After that the
link no longer opens anything.

## Remove it now

**Remove this preview** deletes it at once, with everything in it, and the link
stops working. Nobody is asked to confirm it but you.

## Limits

- **The prices, durations and hours came from your old website and can be wrong.**
  A service whose duration your website didn't state is set to 30 minutes. If no
  opening hours were found, Monday to Friday 9:00–17:00 is set. Check them before
  you share your booking page.
- **Your team is set up without their emails or sign-ins.** You invite each person once
  it is yours; until then nobody but you can sign in.
- **It is one page.** More pages, your own photos and everything else in the
  website editor are yours to add once it is yours.
- **It is in one language** — the one chosen for your customers, normally your
  country's, or English. More languages can be added once it is yours.
- **It is not your live website**, and it never is until you make it yours and
  publish it. Nothing on it can be booked for real.
- **Your own photos from your old website are not brought over** in the preview.
