"The blocked dates feature is something I didn't know I needed. I can grey out holidays on my public calendar with a hover message. Clients stop asking 'are you available on Christmas?' It's the little things."

Not at all. Folio is designed for non-technical professionals. You fill in a form with your name, services, and pricing — and your profile is live. No coding, no design tools, no hosting to manage.
Yes, on the Pro plan and above. You can connect any domain you own (e.g. mikedonovanplumbing.com) and your Folio profile will be served from it. We handle the SSL certificate automatically.
You connect your WhatsApp Business account via the Meta Cloud API (free). Once connected, any WhatsApp message sent to your business number appears in your Folio lead inbox — on web and in the mobile app. You reply from Folio and the message is delivered via WhatsApp. No phone switching needed.
Your profile moves to the free Starter plan. Existing bookings and leads are preserved. New bookings are limited to 30/month on the free plan. You can export all your data at any time.
