Graphic designers: booking briefing calls with new clients

How graphic designers can let new clients book a briefing call online: call types, what to prepare, video links, and booking feedback rounds from the list.

5 min read

A new client wants a logo or a brochure, and the first step is a briefing call. Instead of three emails to agree a time, send them your booking page: they pick a call slot, tell you in the note what the project is, and you start the call with the context in hand. Your design hours stay uninterrupted, because calls only happen in the slots you open.

One service per call type

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give calls one place per slot.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own. If a call is free, leave the price empty to hide it.

What the client prepares

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask in the description for:

  • the company and what it does;
  • the deliverable: logo, brand identity, flyer, website visuals;
  • the deadline and any launch date;
  • examples they like, sent by email.

Protected design hours

Open call slots only at set times, such as late mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so the rest of your week stays free for design work.

Video links

Book doesn't create video links. Use a fixed meeting link and write in the description that you send it by email after the booking.

Feedback rounds

Once the project starts, book feedback rounds yourself from your bookings list at each stage: first concepts, revisions, final files. First and last name are enough; if you enter the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each round. Rescheduling works across services.

Changes

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments, so invoice as usual. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
