Discovering your studio

The studio is your salon's software: this is where you run your site, your appointments, your clients, your till and your messages. You get in from studio.buiiild.com with the email address and password chosen when you signed up.

The dashboard

On opening, you land on your dashboard: a summary of the day, nothing to set up.

• Your recent sales: cash taken over the last seven days and the number of appointments kept. The blue curve follows your sales, the green one your appointments; hover over a day to read its detail.
• Upcoming appointments: your next six appointments over seven days, with their status. Full calendar opens the full schedule.
• Your day: what's left to do hour by hour, and how full your chairs are today and this week.
• Recent activity: appointments created, moved or kept, sales taken, reviews published.
• Your reputation: the salon's average rating and the number of published reviews.
• My salon: your background counters — services on the menu, team, clients, subscribers, site visits. Each figure opens its page.

The left-hand menu

The menu is arranged by families, in the order of a salon's day: Bookings, Till, Clients, Team, Exchanges, Online booking, My site, Modules, Settings. Click a family to unfold its screens; hover over an entry to read what it's for.

On a phone, the menu folds behind the three-line button, top left: the same screens, in the same order.

The top bar

1. View my site opens your showcase site in a new tab, exactly as your clients see it. Any change made in the studio is already live there.
2. The bell follows you on every page: appointments to confirm, unread messages, reviews to publish. A click opens the detail.
3. The magnifying glass launches the global search: a client, a service, a screen. The shortcut Ctrl+K opens it from anywhere.
4. Your avatar, on the right, leads to your account, your subscription and your invoices.

Your mastery level

Under the title, a block tracks your progress: adding photos, setting your contact details, making a first sale, turning on online booking… Each line carries a Do it button that opens the right screen directly. It's not a constraint: it's the list of what makes a salon complete, in the most useful order.

The guided tours

Every important screen introduces itself the first time you visit: a cursor shows you where to click, a bubble explains what each area is for. You can pause, skip, or leave at any time.

To watch a tour again, click the round button, bottom right of the page: it offers to replay the tour, or to ask a question — the answer takes you to the right page, spotlight on the right element.
