Online booking for creative pros

Creative professionals sell their time in very different ways. Photographers book shoots of an hour to a full day. Tailors, dressmakers and fashion designers need several fittings as a garment takes shape. Interior, graphic and web designers start with a consultation or a discovery call before quoting a project. Ceramicists and sculptors run workshops for small groups. Musicians and singers give lessons and play at events.

What they share is the need to protect focus time. A booking page gathers the requests in one place, on the slots you choose to open, and lets the rest of the week go to the work itself.

On Book, each type of session is a service with its own price and description, and you open slots for each at the length it takes. For a workshop, set how many places the slot has; each participant books one place until it's full. Individual sessions use a slot with a single place. Use the description to say what's included, where it happens and what the client should bring or prepare.

Clients book without an account, with their name, email and phone, and get a confirmation email; you get an email for every new booking. Your calendar syncs with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't send quotes, invoices or deliver files, and doesn't take payments or deposits. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.

Your page shows times in your business's time zone, with its name displayed, so there's no confusion for clients booking from elsewhere. To fill a regular week quickly, create a slot once and repeat it on the weekdays you choose until an end date.
