Your own website
Updated on 2026-09-03
Instellingen → Eigen website (Settings → Your own website).
Een eenvoudige website met uw aanbod, uw uren en een knop om te boeken. — A simple website with your services, your hours and a button to book. Everything on it comes from the data you already keep here: you never maintain anything twice.
Switching on and publishing
Two checkboxes, and they mean different things.
| Checkbox | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ik wil een eigen website (I want my own website) | Creates the site. You can work on it; nobody sees it. |
| De site mag online staan (the site may be online) | Puts it online. |
While the second is off, your site does not exist for the outside world — not even for someone who knows the address. Turn it off again later and your texts stay.
The address is hairconnect.be/site/yoursalon, shown at the top of the screen as soon as you switch the site on.
What appears on the site
From your data, automatically and always current: your services with price and duration (if you show those online), your opening hours and closing days, your team, your address, phone and email, your logo and colours, and the social channels you entered under Het salon.
Change a price tomorrow and it is on your site tomorrow. Nothing to do.
Alleen diensten met een publieke naam komen op uw site. — Only services with a public name appear on your site. Internally a service is sometimes called "nl women"; your shopfront needs "Women's cut". If names are missing, the screen tells you how many — you add them under Diensten (services).
The texts
Three fields you fill in yourself, because they exist nowhere else:
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Eén regel over uw salon (one line about your salon) | The sentence under your name. For example Your hairdresser in the centre of Ghent. |
| Over ons (about us) | Two to four sentences about who you are. |
| Uw eigen woorden van Facebook of Instagram (your own words) | Paste what you write about your salon there. |
The button Schrijf de teksten voor mij (write the texts for me) produces a first version. If the assistant is switched on (see Modules), it writes using your own words as well; otherwise we build the texts from your data. Either way the text stays yours: you edit every field.
Wij lezen uw Facebook of Instagram niet zelf uit. — We do not read your Facebook or Instagram ourselves. They do not allow it, and such a connection breaks the moment they change something. Copying and pasting once takes twenty seconds and keeps working.
Your own domain name
If you already have a domain name — say www.yoursalon.be — your site can live there.
- Enter the name and save.
- At your domain registrar, add a CNAME record with the value
sites.hairconnect.be. - Press Controleer nu (check now).
The rest happens by itself: we see your domain pointing at us, request the security certificate and put your site on it. That usually takes a few minutes.
| What it says | What it means |
|---|---|
| Zet bij uw domeinnaamhouder een CNAME-record… | We see nothing yet. A change at your registrar can take up to an hour to be known everywhere. |
| Uw domeinnaam wijst naar ons | Done. The last step starts automatically. |
| We maken nu het beveiligingscertificaat | Almost ready; check back in a few minutes. |
| Klaar: uw site staat op https://… | Live. |
If there is an error, the message also says what you can do. We retry by ourselves afterwards.
Enter an address of HairConnect itself and we refuse it. You already have your address with us; this field is for your own name.
