In today’s world, the first place where everyone looks for information that they seek is the internet. Be it general information or information about something that they need, this is the default place for seeking that information.
Therefore, it is only logical that your potential target customers will also look for establishments such as yours on the internet as first instinct.
This is where establishments such as yours if they have a perfect online presence, will take advantage over the competition because they have awesome websites and appointment scheduling sites.
Hence, you need to create a good image of your establishment online so that you do not look inferior to your competition when potential customers are viewing information about you.
The key part of this in addition to your website is your appointment scheduling page. This, if neglected, can even turn away prospects because you do not look well put together.
Customers expect quality in service and the only way you can show them that quality is by having amazing websites and booking pages.
This guide will take you through what you need to learn and do to get this done with minimal time and effort.
Do you really need an attractive appointment scheduling site for your company?
It is crucial to present your brand in the best possible manner when you operate a business so that not only do you keep your current customers satisfied, but can turn your potential customers into new ones.
A desirable online experience among small businesses today is undervalued in many ways. Even for booking pages this experience gives the customer a sense of quality and trustworthiness in today's internet-centric world.
It is also critical that you build your booking page correctly so that you can give your customers a perfect online experience which is both simple and appealing simultaneously.
Certain rules and guidelines need to be followed while doing this. But why?
The sports sector involves a great deal of physical activity. You need to represent a picture, whether online or offline, that the customers can do so easily and efficiently with your service.
Unlike other industries where your online experience may have the job of simply informing customers about their services, you need to consider other factors for the sports industry.
Around the same period, relative to the market, you will not be appearing too old either.
As also in every business, there are certain elements in your booking page that need to be built in any manner to make you appear comfortable and up-to - date to the best of your sector. Be it
Logistics,
Photography,
Marketing 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 site in the Sports industry. If you need an in-depth guide 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?
In this industry, visuals talk a lot, to express the right picture.
Your appointment scheduling page should be simple on the eyes, without asking them too much effort.They will make the format of the booking page simply to grasp by having it concise and visually appealing.
Luckily for you, we have already covered the first portion!
As for the second section, we will instruct you on how to make it as fun as possible without putting too much work into it.
The best place to start is your background image.
Try to picture how your booking page will look at the top, before we continue with this. Furthermore, go and check out other websites and pages in this area.
You may find that most of them have a specific selection of colors that they use extensively if you watch them carefully.
Often, only a single color would be the most prominent color on the pages. This is because going to the background with one color helps to keep the reader's attention on the text rather than on the design after looking at the latter. This would also provide uniformity in all of your websites, helping to create a positive brand identity.
Note that you try to use an image that is visually similar to your other websites and color schemes if you want to go with an image-based background rather than a solid color.
Now that we have established white as one of the primary colors, we are going to use in the color scheme, we need to pick another color that can be used in combination with white.
The advantage in a color scheme using one color is that it can be used in conjunction with almost any hue. Seeing that there are too many shades to pick from, how can we select the second one for our scheme?
Look for other colors that you may have used in your websites. Even white or black. If you are unsuccessful in doing this, search for others colors in the internet like “best color with yellow”. You will most definitely get some results you can try out and pick according to your taste.
Bearing in mind the combination of these two colors, seeking to search for a background picture that really well combines both.
That is because it provides a rather pleasant and appealing feeling to your booking page as this color scheme is heavily utilized on all the elements of your booking page.
An exception to that is that if you do have a website that uses a certain color scheme, it would be easier to stick with this because that would offer the website and the booking page a far more complete look.
You may also use photographs which the organization maintains for its use. If not, you can look for pictures to be purchased from websites such as Shutterstock and 123rf for pictures marketed for that particular reason or you can even check for royalty-free pictures from other outlets.
Be sure the picture you choose is not too cluttered, because you must clearly see the text that will appear across it on the booking tab.
If you need to customize any image in addition to the default logo on the page, such as adding your company logo to it, please bear in mind that you may need to use tools such as Canva or advanced tools such as Photoshop for this purpose.
Now that you have finished your background picture, let us go into the next color customization.
What about the other things on your site, then?
We had previously stated that the color scheme used would also be extended to certain items on the website. This is so that when it comes to visual aesthetics, we can ensure the background and the elements go well with each other.
When adding the same for both the text and the press, ensure that the correct color is added that corresponds with the color underneath. Of instance, if the background color on the page where the text is being filled is one particular color, then the text color should be the other color you have selected in your color scheme.
It is achieved so you can ensure your clients can see the text on your booking page clearly without needing to force their eyes to understand it. Additionally, you should also make that your company logo that is being used on your booking page also contrasts well against the background for the same reasons.
Check out the web page after you have completed both of these, by clicking on the Go To button at the very end of the Customization Options to check if anything is as you need it. Based on that, you can decide further whether you need to change or tweak anything you have done to the page so it looks better than before.
The text on your site is probably the most powerful part.
The text on your booking page consists mainly of two lines which you can use according to your needs. While some may use it to display phrases used to market their product, others may use it to give specific instructions that should be taken into consideration when booking appointments.
So, when you book the appointments for your business, the text that will be on the website always comes down to what you need the clients to see. If you want, you can get creative with it too!
Ensure your customers understand the text simply and easily so they are clear about what they need to know before booking their appointments. Additionally, if you need to display additional text other than these two lines, editing that image will require you to add it to the background image.
Under this scenario, ensure you should not apply the text to the picture where the buttons will overlap, and you can avoid the buttons on the booking page surrounding the document.
Bear in mind that the color of the document will suit the color you are using on the other text-based components to ensure that the template is legible and consistent.
Is that everything that you need to do? Not quite!
Look at the end of the page and see whether you have achieved what you wanted. After every edit you make, we would suggest that you keep checking your page so that you can make necessary changes as you proceed with your editing process.
You must ensure that your booking page is not too cluttered, that it is visually appealing, and that it is readable very clearly to anybody who may use it.
You should also ensure that you provided all the necessary information that the customer should be aware of prior to booking an appointment with your business.
We hope that this guide will help you! If you have any questions regarding this guide, let us know in the comments below.
