Synced to your real calendar
Cal.com connects to the Google or Outlook calendar you already use. When you are busy, the slot simply is not offered, so double bookings do not happen.
Online Booking
Bookings that happen while you work.
I build online booking into your website, so customers pick a time that actually works, it lands on your calendar, and nobody plays phone tag. Here is exactly how I set it up.
What your customers see
01
They pick a time
A booking page on your website shows your services and only the time slots you actually have open.
02
It lands on both calendars
The appointment goes straight onto your calendar, and they get a confirmation with a calendar invite that works in Google, Apple, or Outlook.
03
You just show up
No phone tag, no double bookings, no sticky notes. The schedule fills itself while you run your business.
The Default Setup
For most businesses, I set up Cal.com.
Cal.com is the booking platform I use for my own calls, so I am not recommending anything I have not lived with. The core of it is free, it is built to be embedded in websites, and it does the unglamorous scheduling work without drama.
On your site, in your brand
The booking page is embedded in your website with your colors and your services. Customers never feel like they left your site for some third-party tool.
Rules you control
Your hours, buffer time between appointments, how far ahead people can book, and links to reschedule or cancel. You set it once and it just runs.
Deposits when you want them
Cal.com can connect to Stripe, so a booking can collect a deposit or full payment up front. Good for tours, consults, and anything with no-show risk.
Setup on my side means connecting your calendar, defining your services and hours, styling the booking page to match your site, and testing the whole flow with a real booking before launch. You get it working, not a login and a wish of good luck.
The Exception
Some industries already have a home for bookings.
Booking is not one-size-fits-all, and I will not force your business into my favorite tool. The point of your website is more bookings, not a new system to learn.
Restaurants
Diners book where they already are. If your reservations live on OpenTable or Resy, your site should point there, and sometimes a one-tap call button honestly beats any widget.
Salons and barbershops
If your clients already book you on Square Appointments or Booksy, your new site embeds the system they know, and nobody loses their rebooking history. Starting from scratch with no system? Cal.com handles salon booking just fine.
Anything already working
If a tool already holds your schedule and your customers like it, I connect your new site to it instead of replacing it. Switching costs are real, and they are yours, not mine.
What It Costs
Included with a first website. An add-on to a redesign.
A first website at $800 includes contact and booking setup. On a $500 redesign, booking is an add-on we sort out over email. Either way, the booking platform itself starts free, so there is no new monthly bill just to take appointments. See the full pricing.
And yes, projects here start with an email instead of a time slot. I want to read about your business before we talk, so I can show up with ideas instead of questions.
