Non Profit Organizations: Create Fantastic Appointment Scheduling Sites

Non Profit Organizations: Create Fantastic Appointment Scheduling Sites

An appointment scheduling site for a non-profit organization can be used effectively if implemented in the right way. Most non-profit organizations are in a position where they actually need to sell themselves and the cause that they are contributing to such that they can keep running the organizations.

In such a case, an appointment scheduling site can help create the impression that your organization needs to inspire people to your cause. This is important because if you do not have one that is amazing, people may even doubt the validity of what you do.

While doing that, you also need to use materials that belong to your organization so that you create transparency that helps build confidence in the person who is viewing your site.



In this guide, we will show you how to create an appointment scheduling site that benefits your organization without much effort and time.


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

Non-profit organizations need to show the best side of themselves to help stay in business. The better you can do it; the greater the number of people who will come to support your cause. While your existing supporters know about this well, what about new ones who do not know much about what you do?

Why do they know that you are committed to serving the social cause in any way possible with results? Therefore, you need a strong web presence therefore you can demonstrate to your customers that you are successful at what you are doing.

In today's world, the internet is often the place where customers look for information about establishments such as yours and you need to be the very best among them.

This is much more relevant especially when you are aiming to have more people to support your cause. To keep the levels of awareness high, you will need to have a great booking page so that your contributors are impressed by what they see and are swayed in your direction.

In a nutshell, having an attractive booking page can only work wonders for your establishment and your cause as it will improve the image of you.


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

When people take a look at your appointment scheduling site, they should be inspired and impressed by your representation of your efforts and dedication to your cause. With that, they should feel compelled to contribute to your organization by themselves. Therefore, it is necessary that your web pages are designed in a certain style so that the page looks like the part of the industry.

Imagine yourself in a scenario where you are looking to contribute to a social cause. Aren’t you more likely to check out an establishment which has a much better impression on you rather than another one which isn’t quite as good as the former? Your customers will go through a similar experience when they are looking for such a service.

Therefore, the website and booking page will only look appropriate for the company if it imbibes the industry's visual characteristics.

Therefore, because any industry like yours has a certain design and style to which their web pages are created, you need to follow certain guidelines. It gives the impression of belonging to a particular industry, and also makes the establishment feel like a part of it.

Be it Business Consultants, Community Facilities, Customer Success 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?



When a person visits your website they want to learn about your company and services. Without a lot of effort and time they are looking to achieve it.

If your page is appealing when all the relevant information is shown, they will be delighted with what they see, and will possibly want to choose you for what they want. That is what you will be addressing when developing your booking page. Because your customers are searching for details, you need to make sure that all they need to know about your services is on your website, and that this details is easily accessible to them.

Such material should also be accessible quickly, so that they can read and understand it without much effort. As for the colors you use on your booking page, your color scheme will suit the one you use on your website. That way, you can present your customers with a matching and uniform web experience.

This makes your online presence look truly stunning and polished. If you succeed in following all of these then you will ensure that your establishment is presented to your customers online in the best way possible.


The best place to start is your background image.

Until we start with this, try to imagine how your booking page would look at the end. In addition, go and find other websites and pages you can find related to your industry.

When you observe you will note that most of them have a single color as the basis on which a lot of the text is shown. In reality, the color on all websites belonging to that company will also be the most prevalent color.

This is because it helps us to maintain continuity and uniformity across all pages by selecting one color. This helps us to keep the reader's attention on the text rather than on the design while complementing a beautiful template at the same time.

Now that we have established a primary color, we will choose another color that can be used in combination with the first color. A color scheme has the advantage that it can also be used on certain items on the booking list. Given that there are so many colors to choose from, how do we choose the second color?

Try to search for colors that go with the one you have picked online, and search for a background image that combines them very well. This is because it gives your booking page a very fun and attractive look because this color scheme is extensively used on all facets of your booking page. You can also use photos that are preserved for your own use by the organization.

If you can not find one, you can scan for pictures from websites like Shutterstock and 123rf for pictures sold for that purpose or you can also look for royalty-free photographs from other websites. More information about this can be found in the Guide listed earlier in this article.

Make sure the picture you pick is not cluttered with objects, so the audience can easily read the text that will appear on top of it. If you wish to add your logo to the website, please bear in mind that for the same activity you will need to use software like Canva or specialized tools like Photoshop.


What about the other things on your site, then?

We have stated previously that the color scheme you selected will also be used on other items on the website. It is done in order to complement the backdrop and the other elements on the website, which go well together.

When adding the same for the text and clicking it, make sure the right color matching the underlying background color is applied. For example, if the background color on the page where the text is being filled is the base color, then the other color you have selected in your color scheme should be the color of the text.

It is done so that you can guarantee that your customers can read the text quickly on their booking page without having to make any effort to do so. Besides this, you should also ensure that the company logo always fits well against the background picture if used on the booking page for the same reason.

Check out the website after all of these have been done by clicking on the Go To button at the very end of the Workspace Settings to see if anything on the booking page is doing well.

We would also recommend that you continue to check the booking page after any changes you make so that you can keep tweaking the elements of the page as needed.


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

The text on your booking page is mainly composed of two lines that you can use according to your needs. While some will use it to show catchy phrases to increase the page's appeal, others will use it to provide clear instructions which the customer should know before scheduling their appointments.

By looking at your requirements, you need to select the applicability of the text area, as you can not go wrong either way. Ensure that consumers can easily and efficiently understand the text and are confident in what they need to say before arranging their appointments.

If you do need to add text other than these two sections, however, you can always edit the background image to do so. Holding the text in between page elements is also a good way to make efficient use of space. Please note that any improvements to the background picture will not impact the overall visual appeal of the booking page.


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

When creating the booking page is completed, get input from others. This is very important, because you can get ideas from other people who have different viewpoints.

As described earlier, keep reviewing the page after each edit, and adjust everything you think needs to be changed in the process so that you build the page as best you can. Overall, you can make sure that it is not too cluttered on your booking page, that it is visually appealing, and that it is readable very clearly to anyone who can use it.

Also, you should make sure all relevant information is present on the website.

We hope that this guide has helped you! If in case you have any questions regarding this guide, let us know in the comments below.
