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.

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. The map loads only when a visitor asks for it.
• 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).

A team member can also have a role, a short line under their name on the website only — "Owner", "Senior stylist", "Head coach", at most 60 characters. The booking page has no such line. Left empty, nothing shows under the name. Roles are translated with the rest of the website's words.

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; Start with this template there signs up with it, and the first website is that one. 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. Use does what the preview shows. History keeps the site as it was just before each switch.

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). A business that never said is asked on the website's first run instead, 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 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.

Once your website has been published, a switch changes the design only. Use takes the new template's layouts, its first look and its menu; 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 its pages to take them. Before the first publish, that is what Use does. 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 Book band. 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 page or several is yours, the switch at the top of Pages, in every template. One page draws all your pages 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 Book bands between pages, the home page's starred services when the full list follows, and its few photos when the whole gallery follows. Once published, the pages' old addresses lead to the one page. Several pages gives each page its own address again. Nothing moves either way, and + Add a page works in both: on one page, the new page is drawn 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, 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.

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.

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, 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 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 the words from your old website and it reads up to 20 pages of that site and proposes the texts for you to check. Prices, durations, opening hours and the team always come from your booking setup, never from the old site, and photos are not brought over.

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, a Book band, Text, Questions and answers, and building blocks of text and photos. 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.
• 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. 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

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. Text (T): click your own text and type; Enter keeps it, Esc puts it back. 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).

Languages

Your website's main language is your location's own, from Business profile. 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 and business description — in the way a local copywriter would rather than word for word. When a text changes, its translations are written again.
• 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.
• See and edit the texts shows every original with its translation beneath.
• 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 booking page stays in your location's own language, whatever the website's languages.

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 Upload your image or Change image button. Add several at once to the gallery, or drag photos in from your computer.

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.

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.

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.

History lists the last 30 versions: each publish, each template change, each restore, each change made from AI Chat, 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. 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 entry, the URL redirect 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 must be set to DNS only, not proxied.

The name without www

People type yourbusiness.com without www, so the screen lists its forward as the third entry: type URL, name @, value https://www.yourbusiness.com — a permanent (301) redirect, not masked or framed, set where the domain's DNS is. Most DNS hosts call it URL redirect or forwarding; for the ones Bookodile recognises (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Websupport, Active24, WEDOS and Squarespace) the screen says where it is. Whatever is already on @ — an old website's address, a parking page — goes first.

• Bookodile checks it like the records. It opens yourbusiness.com over http:// and https:// and ticks the forward once it leads to the www address. It never holds the website back — www goes live on its own — but the screen keeps asking for the forward until it works, and on a live domain Bookodile looks again every two hours.
• Not every DNS host's redirect does https. Namecheap's answers http://yourbusiness.com and not https://yourbusiness.com (checked on 17 October 2026). Typed into a browser, the name still opens the website; a link or a QR code should use the www address. The screen says so when it sees it. GoDaddy's forwarding and Cloudflare's (a proxied A record on @ pointing at 192.0.2.1, plus a Redirect Rule) cover https, by their own help pages.
• WEDOS forwards a domain to its own www address only with WEDOS web hosting, by its help pages; without it, the name without www cannot be forwarded there.
• Bookodile cannot answer on the name without www itself, so the forward is always the DNS host's.

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 both records and the forward exactly as they must be typed, where the DNS is (and, for the DNS hosts it recognises, where the forward is), 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.

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 switches Pages to One page: everything reads top to bottom, and the menu jumps down it. A yoga studio on one page that later adds a teacher-training page switches back to Several pages, 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.
• Text typed on the preview is plain, and sections move with arrows, not by dragging.
• 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.
• 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.
• Your old website's photos are not brought over, only its words, and its old addresses are not redirected to the new pages.
• The name without www is your DNS host's forward. The website's address on your own domain is always www; yourbusiness.com opens it through the URL redirect the screen lists — over http:// only where the DNS host's redirect does not do https (Namecheap's, for one), and not at all on WEDOS without its web hosting.
• 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.
• 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.
