Community Facilities: Creating Amazing Appointment Scheduling Sites
Having an appointment scheduling site for community facilities can help the administration of the community easily maintain scheduling and make the process of booking slots an effortless experience for the members of the community.
It can only be seen as a part of the community if it is designed in the right way. Since the goals and objectives are different when compared to other establishments, we need to make it fit the role it is supposed to take.
This is important as creating a fantastic appointment booking site will help the members of the community feel that it is a part of the experience of living in that community, which in turn will contribute to their happiness even if it does so only in a small way.
In this guide, we will show you how to do so without having to put much effort and time in the same, with the help of the tools offered by Zoho Bookings.
Do you really need an attractive appointment scheduling site for your company?
It is important that you present your brand in an attractive way as much as possible when operating a company so that you do not only attract your current customers, but also help them transform into new customers.
Today, an alluring online experience among small businesses is underestimated in many respects because this is relatively a new concept. This familiarity also gives the user a sense of coherence and authenticity in today's internet based environment while booking sites.
It is important, therefore, for you to create your reservation page properly so that you can provide your clients with both an simple and attractive online experience.
Certain rules and guidelines need to be followed while doing this. But why?
Unlike other industries, appointment scheduling sites for a community facility does not need to advertise the same for any reason. Since this is a space that the people of a community already know about, the site should be targeted towards providing everything that the people need to know about before booking a slot.
You should also be able to provide a clear picture of the facility so that there is complete transparency in the site and the people know what they are looking into. At the same time, you shouldn’t design it in such a way that it is there just for the sake of being there.
As always with every industry, there are some elements in your booking page that need to be designed in a certain way so that you look adapted and up to date with what you represent. Of course, it is not mandatory to follow these but it will be better if you do because it will positively add to the experience of being a part of that community.
Be it Classrooms, Professional Consultation, Business Consultants 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?
Your booking page is highly dependent on communicating information, so reading the graphics and text on your site will be simple for your clients.
Without too much effort, every item on this page should be easy to see. You can help the viewers grasp the layout of the booking page by making it simple and visually appealing. Fortunately, we have done most of it for you already!
About the second section, we will teach you how to make it amazing without too much effort.
The best place to start is your background image.
Try to imagine how to look at the end of your booking page, before we continue with this. In addition, go and check out other sites and pages in this area. If you observe closely, you will find that most of them have white as the base color above which much of the text is displayed. Moreover, white on the pages would also be the most dominant colour.
This is because white is the simplest color on top of the text and the calmest and most neutral color of all. This helps us to maintain the reader's attention to the text rather than to the design, while complementing it at the same time (which is what we want on our page).
Remember that if you want to go with an image-based backdrop instead of a solid color, consider using an image that has plenty of white surrounding the picture for the reasons we have just been talking about.
Now that we have established white as one of the primary colors that we will be using in the color scheme, we need to pick another color that can be used along with white. The downside of a color scheme using white is that virtually any color can be used in combination with it. Since so many colors are available to choose from, how do we choose the second color for our scheme? You will need to take a look at other websites and other establishments like your booking pages for this.
Choose a color that you think would suit your company in the appropriate way after referring to them.
Taking the combination of these two colors into account, try searching for a background image that combines both very well.
This is because when this color scheme is used extensively on all elements of your booking page it offers a very professional and attractive look to your booking page. The exception is that if you already have a website that uses a certain color scheme it will be better to go with that because it will offer a much more complete look to the website and the booking page.
You can also use images that are owned by your company for its use. If not, you can search for pictures for pictures sold for this very purpose from websites such as Shutterstock and 123rf or you can also search for royalty-free images from other sources.
Make sure that the image you choose is not cluttered with topics, so you can clearly see the text on the booking page that will come over it. If, in addition to the default logo on the website, you need to change any image, such as adding your company logo to it, please bear in mind that you need to use software such as Canva or specialized tools such as Photoshop for that.
Now that you have finalized your background image, let us go over next color customization.
What about the other things on your site, then?
We stated that the color scheme used should be extended to other elements on the website, too. This is so that we can ensure the meaning when it comes to graphic design, and the elements go well with each other.
When applying the same for the text and clicking, make sure the right color that corresponds with the underlying background color is applied. For example, if the background color on the page where the text is filled is white, then the text color should be the other color you have selected in your color scheme.
This is done so that you can guarantee that your customers can clearly see the text on your booking page without having to strain their eyes to read this. In addition, you can always ensure that your company logo used on your booking page also fits well with the background, for the same reasons.
Check your page after all of these have been done by pressing the Go To button at the very end of the configuration options to see if all is as you need it to be. Based on this, you can also decide whether you need to change or modify anything you have done to the page so it looks better than ever before.
The text on your site is probably the most powerful part.
The text on your booking page primarily consists of two lines which can be used according to your needs. Although some may use this to show phrases used to advertise their product, others may use it to include detailed directions that should be taken into account when scheduling appointments.
Also, the text that should be on the website when you book the appointments with your company is really down to what you need the clients to see. You can even be imaginative about it when you want to! Make sure that your customers understand the text clearly and easily so that they are clear before booking their appointments on what they need to say.
However, editing the image would allow you to add it to the background image, if you need to view additional text other than these two lines.
For this case, make sure that the text is not added to the picture where the buttons overlap, so you can avoid the buttons on the text booking page. Keep in mind that the color of the text must complement the color that you use on the other text-based elements to make sure the page is legible and consistent.
Is that everything that you need to do? Not quite!
Look at the end of this page and see if you have achieved what you wanted. We would recommend that you keep checking your page after any edit you make so that you can make appropriate changes as you proceed with the editing process.
Overall, you should make sure that your booking page is not too cluttered, that it is visually pleasing, and that anyone who might find it is readable very easily. You should also ensure that you have all the necessary information that should be known to the customer before booking an appointment with your service.
