How can I make a website for my small service business if I don't know anything about web design?

The easiest route is a tool that generates the site for you instead of making you edit templates. On Pludor, you open Answering, tick Enable Public Website, add your services and prices, save, and copy the link to share. If you want a fuller site, the Website Creator drafts headings, sections and FAQs from a short description of your business, and you can add real photos from your phone before publishing.

Is there a free way to get a booking website for my salon or trade business?

Yes. Pludor's public website and booking are on for every store, including the Free plan, and publishing costs nothing. You create a free store, enable the public website in Answering, and each month you get a free amount of visits and bookings before paying only for what you use. New stores also get 500 free credits.

How do I add online booking to my business website so clients can schedule themselves?

Set your store type to Services & Booking, add each service with its duration, price and optional deposit, then set your working hours in the calendar settings. Share your store link and customers can pick a service and book a real free slot. On Pludor, the same calendar also feeds the AI receptionist, so calls can be booked into the same slots.

What's the difference between Pludor's website builder and Wix or Squarespace?

With Wix or Squarespace you pick a template and edit it, and connecting products or checkout usually means copy-paste or an integration. Pludor generates the site with AI from a description of your business, and products, checkout and lead forms stay live on the page through shortcodes because the site is built from your store. If you already sell through Pludor, that means no syncing between your site and your sales tools.

I'm a plumber with no website. Where do I even start?

Start with a single page that lists your services, prices and a way to contact or book you, because customers search before they call. On Pludor, create a free store, open Answering, tick Enable Public Website, add your services and prices, save, and share the link. You can also turn on Mobile Service Area if you travel to clients.

Can an AI receptionist answer my business calls and put bookings on my calendar?

Yes. Pludor's AI Answering answers calls, texts and chats, using the hours, service area, prices and common questions you enter in Settings. You list each service with its duration and price so callers get booked into real calendar slots, and everything lands in one unified Inbox and Calendar. The first 100 AI replies and 10 calls a month are free.

How much does it cost to run a small business website with booking each month?

On Pludor it can be $0: every feature is on for every store including the Free plan, with a free monthly amount of things like 3,000 visits and 30 bookings. Past that you pay only for what you use in credits, where 1 credit equals 1 cent. Paid plans exist as optional bundles of credits with bigger free amounts and lower fees.

Can I use my own domain name with a website builder?

Yes, on Pludor you can publish to your Pludor address or connect your own domain. Build the site first with the Website Creator, edit the text and photos, then choose where to publish it. There's also a WordPress plugin if you'd rather put Pludor's tools, AI chat and checkout on a site you already run.

Is it safe to build my business website on a free plan, or will it shut down if I stop paying?

On Pludor, your store, website, product pages, checkout and orders never switch off for lack of credit. The free plan includes a free amount of everything each month, and you only pay for usage past that. So a free store stays live even if you never buy anything.

How do I let customers book and pay a deposit online before I do the work?

Add each service with its price and an optional deposit, set your availability, and share your booking link so customers book a real free slot and pay the deposit up front. On Pludor this all runs through your store's checkout, and you can also send invoices through the same checkout for one-off jobs. Deposits help stop no-shows before the appointment.
