      Step-by-Step Guide:

       

      Step 1: Sign Up or Log In

      • Go to app.savvy.site and click Login or Register.
      • If you already have an account, log in using Google, Facebook, or by entering your email and password.
      • If you’re new, select Sign up, enter your email and password, and click Sign up.

      Step 3: Define Your Business Goals

      • Once your account is confirmed, you’ll be prompted to choose what you want to achieve with your site.
      • Options include selling products, showcasing your work, selling services, promoting your location, or taking appointments.
      • Select the option that suits your business. For example, if you have a beauty salon and want to sell services, choose that and click Continue.

       

      Step 4: Choose a Template

      • Savvy offers a variety of pre-built templates to make it easy to edit with your content. Browse through the templates and pick one you like.
      • If you prefer starting from scratch, select the Start Without a Template option.

       

      Step 5: Select Your Colour Scheme

      • Choose a colour that best suits your business and branding.
      • Once selected, click Continue.

       

      Step 6: Choose Your Style

      • Decide if you want a simple style or something more elaborate. You can always come back to edit this later.
      • Click Continue.

       

      Step 7: Enter Your Business Details

      • Input your business name (e.g., Serenity Salon) and select the category that best fits your business (e.g., Beauty Salon and Spa).
      • Press Continue.

       

      Step 8: Select Payment Methods

      • Choose how customers can pay for your services. Options include EFT, SnapScan, cash, and others.
      • Select the payment methods that apply to your business (e.g., SnapScan, EFT, Cash, or Yoco Card Machine).
      • Click Continue.

       

      Step 9: Claim Your Savvy Domain

      • Savvy offers a free domain, formatted as [YourBusinessName].savvy.site.
      • Choose a specific domain name for your business (e.g., SerenitySalonSanton.savvy.site if you want to target a specific location).
      • Once you’ve selected your domain, click Continue.

       

      Step 10: Connect Your WhatsApp Number

      • Input your WhatsApp number to allow customers to contact you directly from your site.
      • If you don’t want to add your WhatsApp at this stage, you can skip this step.

       

      Step 11: AI Content Assistance

      • Savvy’s AI can help generate content for your site.
      • Enter keywords that describe your business (e.g., spa, massage, nails, pedicures, relaxation, beauty products).
      • Let the AI generate a professional description. For example, it might write something like:
        • “At Serenity Salon, indulge in top-notch spa treatments, massages, nails, and beauty products that redefine relaxation and rejuvenation.”
      • If you like the AI-generated copy, you can keep it. If not, feel free to edit it further.

       

      Step 12: Add WhatsApp and Social Media Links

      • Ensure your WhatsApp number is correct by clicking Edit. Customers will be able to call or message you through the Contact Us button.
      • You can also link your social media accounts, such as Instagram and Facebook. Add the links later if needed.

       

      Step 13: Add Services and Testimonials

      • List your services on your site. For example, add a card for Marvelous Massages.
      • You can edit each service’s description and even rewrite it with the AI feature if needed.
      • Add customer testimonials to build trust. Testimonials from previous clients will show potential customers the quality of your business.

       

      Step 14: Add Operating Hours and Payment Methods

      • Ensure that your operating hours are displayed correctly.
      • The payment methods you selected during onboarding will also be listed on your site, but you can edit them if needed.

       

      Step 15: Publish Your Site

      • Once everything is set up, publish your site by clicking Publish.
      • You’ll receive an email confirming that your site is live and a QR code to share with friends and clients, so they can find your site easily online.
