How it works in Macaly

Database and sign-in

A database and sign-in come with it.

Tell it what the site should remember and who signs in. The database appears the moment it is needed. There is no second account to open anywhere.

Your own domain

It runs on your own address.

Point your own domain at the site and that is it. No Macaly badge sits on it.

Editor and models

Open it in Macaly any time and keep going.

The project sits in your Macaly account from the first file. Open it in the editor and carry on where you stopped. The model that writes the code there is the one you pick, per chat or for the whole account.

BORPreviewDatabaseSettings

Put a booking form on the BOR site.

Done. The form now saves every request into the reservations table.

Change the form so guests can pick the number of nights as well.
