How to make a website for a self-study library

Students preparing for exams pick a self-study library by a few hard facts: which shifts are open, what a month costs, whether they get a fixed seat, whether the hall is air-conditioned and quiet, and how far it is from their room. A small website with real photos and fees answers this and sends them to your WhatsApp to ask for a seat.

Sample words for your home page

A quiet AC self-study library near the coaching lane in Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi

Shifts from 6 AM to 11 PM. Reserved seats with a locker, Wi-Fi and a charging point at every desk.

Ekagra Library opened in 2020 with 60 seats on the second floor. Phones go on silent at the door, calls are taken on the stairs, and the hall is cleaned between the morning and evening shifts. Come and sit for an hour before you pay.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most self-study library websites need these pages: Home, Shifts and fees, Facilities, Rules, Contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your self-study library, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my self-study library, Ekagra Library, second floor near the main market, Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi. Pages: home, shifts and fees, facilities, rules, contact. 60 seats, fully AC. Shifts: 6 AM to 12 PM ₹800, 12 PM to 6 PM ₹800, 6 PM to 11 PM ₹700, full day ₹1,500 a month. Reserved seat ₹200 extra, locker ₹150 a month. Wi-Fi and charging point at every desk, separate row for girls. Students may sit one hour before joining. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Navy blue and white colours.

Tips for a self-study library website

Photograph the hall when it is full of students studying, with their backs to the camera, and once when it is empty and clean.
Update the home page in the chat when a shift fills up, so students don't call for a seat that is gone.
Write every rule that causes arguments later: fee due date, leave without fee, locker keys, guest visits.
Show the exact fee for each shift. Students compare libraries by monthly cost before anything else.
Add the library to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile; students new to the area search there first.

Good to know

Students can't pick a seat, see live seat availability or pay the monthly fee on the website; they message or call you. For seat allotment by shift, fee due dates and lockers, a library app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Can students see which seats are empty on my library website?

No. The website can't show live seats. Update the home page when a shift is full, and let students ask on WhatsApp.

Should a self-study library website show monthly fees?

Yes, for every shift, with any extra for a reserved seat or locker. It is the first thing students compare.

Can students pay the library fee on the website?

No. Websites made with AppCub have no payments. Students pay at the desk, or in a library app with your Razorpay account.

What rules should a library website show?

Silence and phone rules, fee due dates, what happens if a student leaves mid-month, and ID needed at joining.

Should I show photos of students studying?

Show the hall with students from behind, or ask the students first. Photos of the empty hall and desks work well too.

Can I list two library branches on one website?

Yes. Give each branch its own section on the contact page with its address, shifts and a Google Maps button.
