Sign language interpreters: booking for appointments

Deaf clients, families, employers and services book interpreters for appointments of every kind: a meeting at the bank, a parents' evening, a job interview. Bookings by text and email are slow and easy to lose. With Book, clients book you for an appointment on your own booking page, with the place and setting in the note, and the slot leaves your page once taken.

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

Durations and prices are examples: set your own. Include travel in the slot, and say in the description which area you cover.

Give each slot one place: once booked, it leaves your page. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Slots of different services can overlap, so open the services you can fit in each part of the day.

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 booker's calendar file. Ask for the address, the type of setting, such as a bank, school or workplace, and the deaf person's name if someone else books. Say in the description not to put health or other sensitive details in the note, and to share preparation material by email.

For remote appointments, create a video service and send your link by email, or join the link the client sends: Book doesn't create video links.

For a client with a weekly meeting, book the sessions yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't create video links, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: in a team, create services per interpreter. See the guide on conference and event preparation. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
