A massage website needs three things: a page that says what treatments you give and how long they run, a way to book a 60 or 90 minute slot without WhatsApp back and forth, and a calendar you control. Posato is a service that rebuilds the site you already have with all three built in, and you approve it before anything replaces what you have.
Someone finds you when their shoulders have been locked up for a week, and they are on the sofa with their phone at half past ten at night. They want to know which treatment fits that, how long it takes, what it costs, and whether they can have it on Saturday. That comes down to four things:
Photos of the room matter more here than a blog does; people want to see where they will be lying. Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity go looking for exactly those when someone asks where to get a massage in Haarlem, so writing them properly does both jobs.
A massage day is blocks and gaps. A 30-minute chair treatment, 60 minutes on a back, a 90-minute full body, and between each one the linen changes and the room airs. Plenty of practices juggle WhatsApp and a Treatwell listing and hold the timing in their head. With Posato the shape of your week is something you set:
Clients only see hours you have opened. Every booking drops into the back office, your day fills in by itself, and the client gets a confirmation you never had to type.
Most treatments are paid at booking, which settles the no-show question before it happens. A first-time name is a different decision, and you may want a word first. Both sit on the same site, and the two cards below show what each means.
The treatment is paid through Stripe at the moment it is booked, and the slot is held for that length. Payment and booking sit in one place, and a full or partial refund goes through the same screen if you have to cancel. The 5% commission comes out of what the client paid.
The client picks a time and sends it, and the slot is held until you say yes. Useful for a first-time name, for deep tissue where you want to hear about an injury or a pregnancy before it starts, and for anyone you would rather speak to before they are on the table.
You send the address of the site you have now, on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or the one-pager a friend made for you, and we rebuild it on a private preview link. Your current site stays live until you approve the new one. The three steps and what they cost you in time are on the home page.
While the beta is open there is no subscription and no build fee. When a client pays for a treatment through your site we take a 5% commission on that payment, and a quiet week in February costs nothing. That is how we make money. The rest of the answer is in the questions on the home page.
Not on the booking form itself. Put those treatments on request, so the slot is held until you approve it, and use that moment to email or call with whatever you need to know.
Set it up as a message form on its own: name, email, phone and a message, no calendar attached. They write the date in the message, it arrives in your inbox, an automatic reply goes back, and the quote comes from you.
You set a cancellation policy with a deadline and a penalty, plus a short grace period right after booking. When the treatment was prepaid, that money already sits in your own Stripe account, and you decide how much of it goes back.
Yes. Staff are assigned per service, so a treatment can be tied to whoever gives it, and each service keeps its own length, price and open hours.
