How to Set Up Your Email

Overview

Before launching your website, you'll need a professional email address connected to your domain (for example: hello@yourbusiness.com).

This email will be used for:

• Lead notifications
• Booking confirmations
• Internal alerts from your website

You don't need to configure servers or understand email infrastructure. You just need an active inbox and access.

Step 1: Decide Which Email You'll Use

We strongly recommend using a domain-based email address instead of Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook.

Good examples

• hello@yourbusiness.com
• info@yourbusiness.com
• contact@yourbusiness.com

Avoid

• Personal emails
• Temporary inboxes
• Shared logins without access control

If you already have a business email, great. If not, continue to the next step.

Step 2: Choose an Email Provider

We recommend one of the following:

• Google Workspace (most common)
• Microsoft 365
• Zoho Mail

Google Workspace is preferred for reliability, deliverability, and ease of integration.

Tip: Email plans typically cost $6–$12 per month.

Step 3: Create the Inbox

Once you choose a provider:

1. Create the email address you want to use
2. Make sure you can send and receive emails
3. Confirm you have login access

At this stage, you do not need to connect anything to the website.

Step 4: Keep Your Email Simple

You don't need to configure anything for your website.

Do not:

• ❌ Set up SMTP or email servers
• ❌ Connect forms manually
• ❌ Create forwarding rules or automations

Just make sure your inbox is active and receiving emails.

Your website will handle the rest without custom email setup.

Step 5: Share Access When Requested

When your site is ready to go live, we'll ask for one of the following:

• Temporary email login access, or
• App-specific credentials provided by your email provider

We will:

• Connect website forms
• Configure notifications
• Verify delivery and reliability

You keep full control of the inbox at all times.
