Professional Consultation: Learn to Create Amazing Appointment Scheduling Sites

The level of service in the consulting industry is something which can not be explained to others unless they encounter it.

Certainly, there are metrics showing how you are doing relative to your competition, but then it is just communicating little about consistency.

Advertisements were usually companies such as these would subscribe to for marketing, to which the internet has opened alternatives in today's digital age such as websites and scheduling sites for appointments.

A great online presence can help you communicate a lot more powerfully to your customers than ever before. It brings confidence, trust and high quality expectations to the customer's minds in service.



In this scenario, we will concentrate on how to build an awesome scheduling site for the appointment so that you can make the most of it to showcase your company.


Do you really need an attractive appointment scheduling site for your company?

It is important to present yourself in the best possible way when running a professional consultancy firm so that not only do you keep your current customers impressed but also help turn those potential customers into new ones.

Essential to growth in these companies today is an enticing web platform. This training also gives the customer a sense of trust and consistency when it comes to presence in today's internet-centric world.

So it is significant that you plan your booking page carefully so you can give your customers a fantastic online look that can help you attract more customers over time.


Certain rules and guidelines need to be followed while doing this. But why?

Every sector follows the language of a given design. If you take a community of organizations within the same industry you will find that there will be some differences in how they design their websites.

This is because design language plays a vital role in creatively expressing a company's values. For example, carpenters use a lot of brown on their websites because, you know, it is all wood color.

Similarly we need to use a certain mix of colors on our websites. In reality, this is what the consumers want to see on their websites, as this is what indicates that you know what you are doing.

In reality, a well-designed web page will show that you took the initiative to create such an image that your customers undoubtedly want.

Be it Professional Studios, Handy Persons, Classrooms or anything else for that matter, having an attractive and good-looking appointment scheduling website can only work wonders for your business.

This guide gives an overview of what you need to know when designing your scheduling appointment page in your industry. If you need directions covering every step of the process, we have a guide made for that very purpose.


All right, so, how should you go about making an appointment scheduling site?



Before scheduling an appointment with your firm everything the customer needs to know must be included in your appointment scheduling site. This will include all the information they need to know, and will make them book a time slot with more information and comfortable.

The booking page's architecture and style should not be too different from your website, simply because it will not help forming a single visual theme for the online presence of your company.

The background picture of your booking page should not be much going on because it brings too many elements into your booking page. It ends with your booking page being so cluttered and causing your clients to spend time on what should otherwise be a easy and intuitive appointment scheduling process.

We would suggest that you try a booking after developing the website from top to bottom so you can find the finer details on the booking page which may not be relevant. Surely doing all these would result in a much better experience for the customers.


The best place to start is your background image.

We would suggest looking at the websites of other companies on the internet before we get on with that. You will also see some similarities especially when it comes to the themes used between these websites.

One thing you are sure to note is that they would all consistently use a selection of colors. Having an enticing booking page for your customers is something that is important.

Often photos from your business will allow your customers to get some clarity. And if you have some pictures from your establishment that you can use on the booking page, it will be outstanding.

If you do not have anything like that, you can also get some from such websites as Unsplash. You can find more information on how to obtain context images for you on the guide we mentioned earlier.

The color scheme you will be using will also influence your background image. The color scheme can be found on your company website. Just look at your website and take a set of colors to answer this question:
  1. Which colors are most commonly used on the website of your establishment?
If you have at least two colors on your website, this is the color scheme we would recommend on your background picture to move forward with.

You should keep these colors in mind when looking for background pictures, so that you can give preference to those that have these on them.

This will mean that both the website and the booking page are handled equally, and that would appear rather smooth when customers turn to the booking page from the website.

Just be careful that the image you are using on your computer does not have too many objects or features on it, because that will make it difficult to read the text that will appear on top of it.


What about the other things on your site, then?

Recall what color scheme we have on your website? That is the exact one we are going to use to apply colors to our page.

Now that we have finished designing our background image, we mainly have four areas where you will need to apply colors to your booking page: Background Color, Text Color, Color button and Text Color button.

When applying color to each area, make sure the color you are applying blends well with the area behind it. You will also thus promote effective visibility of both the elements and context.

In particular, it relates to the website text and is of great significance because it may include information that customers need to learn when they book a web time slot. From your paint scheme, you can try different colors for your text, and choose the one that is more noticeable on your website.

If you can not find such a color, you can always go white, since white is a neutral color, and can go with any combination. Keeping the same suggestion in mind, try out different versions of the website and choose one you think is the strongest.


The text on your site is probably the most powerful part.

The text above the buttons is the place for a few punchy one-liners to write. Also, you can use the same area to remind consumers of something they need to know before they book the time slots.

Keep in mind that you can rely on them to read it before passing over the keys, as the text is above the keys. You can also adjust the context and add a small amount of detail with other graphic editing software if you think the space available for the text is not enough.

When creating your booking page, we highly recommend that you check your editing by clicking the Go To button at the very end of the Workspace settings and reviewing your reservation page's live preview. This way you can tweak the templates while you start modifying and updating the different sections of the booking page.


Is that everything that you need to do? Not quite!

Gain opinions from others after your work is done by showing them your page. Sometimes, we get carried away with our design that sometimes we can add some needless or irrelevant elements to our product.

This is also important that you seek input from people you trust, such as colleagues, family members or friends, who can evaluate your work and provide suggestions that may or may not strengthen your reservation.

When your booking page has been rolled out, get your customers feedback and ask them to suggest any changes that could be made from their viewpoint.

Not only does this act provide you with information that you can use to grow your company, it also helps consumers to feel confident when they ask for their feedback, because it makes them believe that you care about the quality of your product.

It will only be a long-term benefit for you because it will help create customer loyalty to your facility and services as well.
