Website builds now check the result, and say when they could not

A finished website is checked before you see it, the design direction you chose is the one that gets built, and a build that fell back to a template says so instead of looking finished.

Three things changed about building a website draft.

**The design you chose is the design you get.** A design direction is a complete look — its own spacing, imagery treatment, navigation and section styling — not just a colour scheme. Until now the built website kept the direction's colours and typefaces but lost the rest of it. It carries all of it now, pinned to the exact version you compared, and your own words and venue data still fill the pages.

**The result is checked before it is shown to you.** Some checks always run: every section valid, every colour combination readable, no leftover placeholder text, no price that does not match your own catalog, and no contact details that are not your venue's own. A further review of the composition may also run and leave notes worth considering. If any of the always-on checks could not run, the build tells you the website has not been fully checked rather than describing it as ready — and a review that simply had nothing to say is never presented as a problem.

**A build that could not finish says so.** If the AI build stops, or runs out of its spending limit, Booking Bible fills the website from your setup answers so you are not left waiting on a stuck screen. That is a starting draft, not the AI version, and the builder now says exactly that instead of showing the same "finished" state as a completed build. You can run the build again.

**Editing while a build runs is different, and safer.** The build works around you: it keeps your version of any page you touched and writes the pages you did not. If you keep editing, it stops rather than working over you — nothing is replaced, your draft is left exactly as you last saved it, and the builder says so. Run the build again when you have finished editing.

Nothing here changes your published website. Builds still write to your draft only, and publishing stays a separate decision.

AI spend is measured against the correct rates now

Our record of what an AI request costs was based on two out-of-date provider prices. Both are corrected, so your AI usage figures and any spend limit you have set are measured accurately.
