Frequently asked questions

The questions new users ask most.

Yes - each website and page can carry custom CSS and custom head code, for fonts, verification tags or analytics snippets.

No. You connect your own Stripe or PayPal credentials in Payment Services, so customer payments go straight to you.

That depends on your plan. When you reach the limit you are told exactly which one you hit and given a link to upgrade.

Yes. Add the domain in the website settings and point your DNS records at the platform at your registrar.

Yes. Create a website per client and switch between them with the website selector; everything sits under a single login.

No. BuildHub is deliberately hands-on: you choose a template and design the page yourself, so nothing is generated or guessed on your behalf.
