Every StudioOps studio gets two public pages on the studioops.uk domain:
studioops.uk/your-slug/book— the booking page where customers pick a service and a time.studioops.uk/your-slug— the studio profile page. A short, branded page that introduces your studio: hero image, what you do, who's on the team, your services with prices, opening hours, contact details. There's a big Book online CTA that takes visitors to the booking page above.
The profile page is optional. If you've already got a Squarespace / Wix / WordPress site that does this job, you can skip it. But if you don't have a website (or your current one is half-broken, never updated, or costs you £20/month to maintain), the profile page is a clean replacement.
1. Enabling the profile page
Go to Settings → Booking page → Studio profile page and tick Enabled.
When the toggle is off, studioops.uk/your-slug just redirects to /your-slug/book. When it's on, the URL renders the profile page, with a "Book online" CTA on it that takes the visitor on to the booking flow.
Toggle it on once you've filled in at least the basics below — until then the page looks half-finished.
2. The fields that drive the page
All editable from Settings → Booking page:
| Field | Where it appears on the profile page | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Studio name | Top of page | From the wizard |
| Logo | Top corner | Square-ish PNG/JPG, up to 2 MB |
| Banner image | Hero strip at the top | Wide landscape format works best — see size note below |
| Strapline | Big tagline under the studio name | Keep it short, e.g. "Bridal alterations, Wiltshire" |
| Short description | Couple of paragraphs about the studio | What you do, your background, what makes it different |
| Public address | Contact section | Text only (no map embed in v1). Useful if you take customers at your premises |
| Contact email | Contact section | Defaults to your studio email — overridable if you want a separate public-facing one |
| Opening hours | Hours table | Pulled from your Hours settings (the same hours that drive the booking page) |
What also appears (no extra setup needed):
- Services with prices — pulled from your services catalogue. Each service renders as a row with name, duration, and price. Long catalogues group automatically.
- Staff cards — photo + name + bio for each bookable staff member (from Settings → Staff → person). Customers can click a card to jump into the booking flow pre-filtered to that staff member.
3. Banner image — what works
The banner image runs full-width across the top of the page, framing everything below it. A few practical notes:
- Format: PNG or JPG. SVG is rejected (security — SVGs can carry scripts).
- Aspect: landscape, roughly 3:1 or 4:1. Square images look cropped; vertical images get squashed.
- Resolution: at least 1600 × 600 pixels for a crisp look on retina screens; bigger is fine. We resize down server-side.
- File size: up to 2 MB before upload. Compress at tinypng.com if you're over.
- Content: a clean shot of your studio, your work, or something that says "this is the feel of the place". Avoid stock photos that feel generic — customers can tell.
If you don't have a good photo yet, leave it blank — the page renders cleanly without a banner (a soft teal gradient sits in its place).
4. Mobile preview
Most of your customer traffic comes from phones. Before you mark the page enabled, open studioops.uk/your-slug on your phone and walk through it: does the banner crop sensibly, is the strapline readable, does the Book online CTA stand out?
Easiest preview without a phone: in any desktop browser, open Developer Tools (right-click → Inspect on Chrome / Edge / Firefox), click the device-toggle icon at the top of the panel, and pick "iPhone 14 Pro" or similar. You'll see the mobile rendering.
If the banner looks cropped weirdly, the issue is usually the source image's aspect ratio. Try a wider crop.
5. Linking out from elsewhere
Once the profile page is live, point people at it from:
- Your Instagram bio link — the studio profile is more "homepage-shaped" than the booking page; new visitors get context first.
- Your email signature —
studioops.uk/your-slugreads cleaner thanyour-slug/bookin formal correspondence. - A QR code on a printed card — generate at qr-code-generator.com pointed at your profile URL.
- Google Business Profile — use the profile URL as your "Website" field.
- Cold-outreach replies — when someone messages asking what you do, send them the profile URL rather than describing it in text.
The booking page (/your-slug/book) still works directly too — keep using it where the goal is "book a slot right now" rather than "introduce the studio".
6. The bits we don't do yet
A few honest notes on what v1 doesn't have:
- Map embed — the contact address is text only. No Google Maps embed. Workaround: link the address text to a Google Maps search ("your address") in your description.
- Image gallery — no multi-photo gallery on the page. The banner is the one image slot.
- Reviews block — no automatic reviews pull-through (e.g. from Trustpilot or Google). On the post-launch roadmap.
- Custom domain — the page lives at
studioops.uk/your-slug, not atyourstudio.com. Custom domains are a meaningful chunk of work and aren't in launch scope. - Theming beyond the standard — colours, fonts, page layout are fixed. The booking page has a brand-colour customisation on the post-launch roadmap (T-080); the profile page will inherit it.
