Understanding why you need to have an amazing appointment scheduling site is the most important and crucial first step that you need to do. For that, let us imagine a scenario where a prospective customer is looking for a spa salon.
As with everyone today, the first place that he or she would look for such an establishment is the internet. The usual route that most people would take is that they will find a couple of spa salons initially and then go through their websites one by one to see which is the best.
This is where an establishment which may not offer superior service quality may get picked over one that does, just because their online appearance is great.
You would not be a person who wants to be in this scenario, definitely not.
Therefore, you need to create a fantastic web site and an amazing appointment scheduling site so that you can emerge victorious in situations like these.
In this guide, we will take you through what you need to know for making yourself a fantastic appointment scheduling site and getting the best out of your subscription to Zoho Bookings.
Do you really need an attractive appointment scheduling site for your company?
Spa salons offer an intangible product. This implies you can only feel the nature of the service. The better you will manage it; the greater the number of consumers come to try your services.
While this is all well and fair for current customers who already understand the quality of service, what about the new ones? How do they realize how fantastic your services are as they have not experienced your service?
Therefore, you need a strong online presence that represents the quality and reliability of your service.
In today's environment, most prospective customers go to the internet by default to look for anything that they want information on. Hence, it is crucial that you step up your game using your website and appointment scheduling site.
It is even more important particularly as you compete with many other spa salons that provide services similar to yours. You need to have a fantastic appointment scheduling suite to rise and stay on top of your competition.
You prospective customers, those who look at your online web pages for the first time, need to be impressed by your business right from the very start. To put it briefly, making an attractive booking page will only work well for your company because it will boost your online business image.
Certain rules and guidelines need to be followed while doing this. But why?
When customers look at your spa salon website or appointment scheduling site, they should feel that they want to avail your services because you look better than your competition with respect to the online presence.
Therefore, your web pages ought to be built in a certain way such that they look like they represent the best of the spa in. You should design your appointment scheduling site in such a way that your site looks more attractive when your prospective customer compares them to your competitors.
This is crucial because your clients will have a similar experience as they too are searching for a service like this and you need to make sure that you are getting out of one such as that in a good way.
In fact, the website and booking page can only appear suitable for the business if it imbibes the spa industry's visual characteristics.
Therefore, as every company such as yours has a certain design and style of which its web pages are made and therefore you need to obey those guidelines as well. It creates the impression of belonging to a certain industry, which often makes the establishment feel like a part of it. Be it
Law Firms,
Meeting Rooms,
Cleaning Services or any
other industry for that matter, having an attractive and good-looking appointment scheduling website can only work wonders for your business.
This guide will provide an overview of what you need to know while designing your appointment scheduling page in this industry. If you need an in-depth
guide covering every step of the process, we have a guide for that very purpose.
All right, so, how should you go about making an appointment scheduling site?
When a customer visits your website, they want to know about your business and services without putting a substantial amount of effort and time doing it. Your customer will be the happiest and most satisfied when they see an attractive appointment scheduling site that has all the relevant information that they are looking for.
This is what you should be targeting when designing your booking page. Since your customers are looking for information, you need to ensure that everything they need to know about your services is on your page, and that this information is easily accessible to them.
One of the most common errors people make while designing their site is that they tend to overdo the design, which in turn affects the text's readability over it. You need to ensure you do not do the same.
As for the colors, the color scheme you use on your booking page should correspond to the one you use on your website. This way, you could provide your consumers with a similar and consistent web experience. It helps the web appearance appear absolutely stunning and polished. If you do not have a page, pick a color scheme that is appropriate for your business and industry.
The best place to start is your background image.
The first thing you need to do is picture your appointment scheduling page in your mind. To aid that you can get ideas from other spa salons you can find on the internet from blogs. If you observe you will find that nearly all of them have a single color as the base on which a substantial amount of the text is displayed.
The color will, in reality, also be the most prevalent color on all websites belonging to that company. This is because the use of one color across all sites helps one to preserve continuity and quality across all of them. It helps one to keep the reader's attention on the text rather than on the interface while complementing a beautiful template simultaneously.
Now that we have defined one primary color, we will select another color that can be used along with the first. A color scheme has the advantage of being used on anything on an appointment scheduling site. Because there are so many colors to choose from, how do we choose the second color?
Start looking for colors that go with the one you chose online, and then look for a background picture that blends them very well. This offers your booking page a very clean and attractive look because this color scheme is extensively used on all elements of your booking page. You can also have photos that are provided for its purposes by the organization.
If you do not find one, you can look for pictures from websites like Shutterstock and 123rf for pictures sold for that purpose or you can also check for royalty-free photographs from other websites. More details regarding this can be found in the Guide listed earlier in this post.
Ensure sure the picture you chose is not too cluttered with things, so the user can clearly understand the text that will appear on top of it. If you plan to add your logo to the page, please keep in mind that for the same task you may need to use apps like Canva or advanced applications like Photoshop.
What about the other things on your site, then?
We also previously stated that the color scheme you chose would also be used on other items on the website. This is done in order to complement the background and the other elements on the page, and go well together.
When applying the same for the text and clicking it, ensure the right color representing the corresponding background color is applied. For example, if the background color of the page where the text is being filled is the base color, then the other color you have selected in the color scheme will be the color of the text. It is achieved so that you can ensure that the customers can decipher the text quickly on the booking page without needing to make much effort to do so.
Furthermore, you should also guarantee that the business logo always fits well against the background picture when 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 that anything on the booking list is going well. We will also advise that you continue to review the booking page for any adjustments you make so that you can keep adjusting the elements of the website if necessary.
The text on your site is probably the most powerful part.
The text on your booking page is mainly comprised of two lines that you can use according to your needs. While some will use it to display catchy phrases to increase the page's appeal, others will use it to provide detailed instructions which the customer should know before scheduling their appointments.
By looking at the requirements, you need to choose the utility of the text field, because you cannot go wrong either way. Ensure the clients can easily and efficiently understand the text and are confident in what they need to know before scheduling their appointments.
If you do choose to add text other than these two lines, though, you can also change the background picture to do so. Keeping the text in between page elements is also a good way to make effective use of space.
Please be aware that any improvements to the background picture should not have an effect on the overall visual appearance of the booking page.
Is that everything that you need to do? Not quite!
When designing the booking page is done, get feedback from others. It is really necessary, as you will get suggestions from other individuals who have different viewpoints.
As mentioned earlier, keep checking the page after each edit, and change anything you think needs to be changed in the process so that you design the page as best you can.
You should ensure that it is not too cluttered on your booking page, that it is visually appealing, and that it is readable very easily to anyone who can use it. Also, you should ensure all relevant details are present on the page.
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.
