Timma’s website features have been revamped to be even better and more modern. Now, you can create a stylish and contemporary website with just a few clicks.

Timma Genie utilizes AI technology to build websites. We use OpenAI’s ChatGPT tool, which retrieves your business’s basic details from Timma Pro to generate personalized text. However, you always have the option to create your website without AI if you prefer.


Creating a website

To start the process in Timma Pro, navigate to More > Website (new). The first page provides information about Timma Genie, including pricing and other details. Click the "Try it now" button to begin. You can create your new website in just three steps!

  1. Choose your style: Select the options that best represent your business, including the first impression you want to give and the overall look of the website. You can also choose 1-3 services to highlight on the homepage.

  2. Add your business logo and confirm your industry: The list includes all common industries that use Timma Pro for online booking.

  3. Generate texts for your website with AI (optional): AI assistance is available, but you can also write the texts yourself. You can edit all texts later, even if AI initially generated them.

Once done, click “Create Website” and wait a few moments. This process may take 1-3 minutes as the system generates your website based on your selections.

If you are not satisfied with the result, you can always modify the settings later. If needed, you can also delete the website from the Settings tab by clicking "Delete Website" and starting over.


Editing your website

Timma Genie’s navigation menu includes the following sections:

  • Website 🔴 Not live: The website's domain has not yet been linked to your business details or connected to our server if you have a custom domain. If you do not have a domain, you can purchase one through Timma.

  • Preview website: Preview your site and see changes, regardless of whether it is published.

  • Save: This is the only save button in Timma Genie. Changes across all tabs must be saved here to update the website.

If the website is published, the view will be slightly different, with green 🟢 that says "live".

There are three editable sections: Pages, Styles, and Settings.


Editing Pages

This tab contains all the editable sections of your website. Each tab represents a different section on the final website. You can freely edit each page’s content, but only the Front page is required to be visible; all other sections can be hidden if not needed.

Front page

The first page visitors see, creating a first impression of your business.

Services page

Displays all services and pricing (if enabled). You can add descriptions for categories, but service names, prices, and descriptions are imported from Timma Pro. You can also add images and adjust the page layout.

Online booking page

Contains a brief introduction and appointment booking settings, which can be modified on the Company page of Timma Pro.

Gift cards page

Visible only if your business uses Timma Pay for online gift cards and the verification process is done through Adyen. Gift card settings can be adjusted on the Company page of Timma Pro.

About page

A section to introduce your business and team. Names, images, and job titles are edited in the Profile section on Timma Pro.

You can also add your own story here and represent your values and products if you wish.

Contact page

Displays business contact information. The introduction text is editable, but other details are imported from the Company section of Timma Pro.

Button

A customizable button in the top-right corner of your website. It can link to any section, such as booking or services, or to an external URL, like an online store.


Customizing website styles

This tab allows you to edit the website’s appearance, including themes, fonts, buttons, and colours.

  • Theme: Choose from predefined themes and color combinations.

  • Font: Select from 28 different font options.

  • Buttons: Adjust the color of the top-right navigation button and its text.

  • Style: Modify the color scheme, fonts, and theme of your website.

  • Background Colors: Customize the website’s background colors.


Website Settings

The final tab allows you to publish your website if you have a linked domain. If you do not have a domain, you can purchase one through Timma.

You can also edit your website’s title, description, and keywords for search engine optimization (SEO):

  • Website Title: Max 30 characters.

  • Website Description: Max 144 characters.

  • Keywords: Help customers find you online. Example: hair salon, haircut, Helsinki.

If you wish to delete your website, you can do so here. Note that deletion is irreversible.

💡 Remember to save your changes! If you navigate away from the Websites tab without saving, all modifications will be lost.


Tips for Creating a Great Website

  • Use your own images whenever possible! High-quality, original images help customers see what your salon looks like and showcase your work. Always ensure you have permission to use the images.

  • If you don’t have images, consider hiring a professional or asking a friend to help. Good images elevate your website’s professionalism and trustworthiness, making a strong first impression.

  • Stock images are available, but they may not reflect your unique brand personality. Timma provides a selection of stock images with full usage rights.

  • Refine AI-generated text. ChatGPT’s draft text may contain errors or awkward phrasing. Personalizing the content improves clarity and engagement for both customers and search engines.

  • Increase traffic by linking your website to other platforms. Share the link on social media and with customers. The more clicks your link gets, the better its visibility.

  • Think about your ideal customer. What information do they need when booking a service? Write your website content to directly answer their questions.

  • Keep text clear, concise, and informative. Avoid unnecessary complexity. Ask customers for feedback on service descriptions to ensure clarity.

  • Use the navigation button strategically. Consider linking to Instagram, an online store, or a special offer.


Advanced Timma Genie Tips

🎨 Be creative!

Use homepage sections for unique purposes, such as embedding a social media link or a QR code directing visitors to your online store.

💬 Customer feedback is valuable

While feedback is currently limited to Marketplace bookings, you can add links to a separate feedback form created with external tools.

🔹 Enhance your logo

Ensure high resolution and consider using a transparent PNG for a more professional appearance.


Final Checklist

Before launching your new website, there are a few things you should check. A polished and finalized website gives a more professional feeling about your salon.

🔎 Proofread your text multiple times and have someone else review it to avoid typos.

📝 Keep text short and to the point—concise content is more likely to be read.

💡 Reflect your brand’s personality through your writing style!


Enjoy your stylish new website! 🚀
