Getting started

Publish your website

Preview your site, then make it public so clients can find it and book.

Open this in your dashboard →

Your site is private until you publish it. Only you (and your team, when signed in) can see the preview.

Steps

  1. Add at least one service in Services & pricing and set your Hours, so there is something to book.
  2. Go to Website in the dashboard menu.
  3. Click Preview ↗ to see your site as clients will. A bar at the bottom reminds you it isn't published yet.
  4. Back on the Website page, click Publish.
  5. The status changes to Your site is live, with your address as a link. Share it on Instagram, Google and your business cards.

Good to know

  • If you have no bookable services, the Website page warns you: "You have no bookable services yet". Add one before publishing.
  • To take the site down, click Unpublish. Visitors then see a "page not found" message and can't book.
  • Publishing also registers your site with Google and Bing automatically. See "Get your site on Google".
  • Changes you make to services, prices and site content show on the live site straight away. You don't need to publish again.
  • Only the account owner can publish or unpublish.
