One line
Short, clear, at the top.
Type up to 200 characters and the bar sits across the top of your site, in every template. Clients read it first, before they scroll down to your services.
Your website · Announcement bar
Say it at the top.
The announcement bar puts one short line across the top of your site. Use it for holiday hours, a slow-week promo or a new service, and switch it off when the moment passes.
On Solo, Studio and Studio+ · 0% commission
What you get
Announcement bar,
done properly.
Any update
Hours, promos and new services.
Closing early for a holiday, adding a service or running a slow-week deal? Say it in the bar instead of rewriting your site, and clients know before they book.
Rotation
Run a promotion alongside it.
Add a promotion and the bar rotates between your message and the promo on its own. One promotion runs at a time, so the top of your page never gets crowded.
Switch off
Off the moment you’re done.
Flip the switch to hide the bar and your site goes back to normal. Your text stays saved, so next year’s holiday hours are a tap away instead of a rewrite.

Short answers.
Is the announcement bar on the Free plan?
Not on its own. It’s on Solo, Studio and Studio+, and Free sites can add it with the $5.99 a month design add-on, along with every template and the introduction block.
How long can the message be?
Up to 200 characters. Short works best: one fact a client can read at a glance, like your holiday hours or a new service.
Can I show more than one message?
Two. Add a promotion and the bar rotates between it and your main message on its own. One promotion runs at a time.
Can it pop up instead?
No. The announcement bar is a line across the top of your site, not a pop-up, so it never gets between a client and the booking button.
Will it text or email my clients?
No. The bar only shows on your site. BKRDY doesn’t send marketing texts or email blasts, only booking confirmations and reminders.
