Sound familiar?

Where the time goes
01

Bookings arrive everywhere

Texts, calls, Instagram DMs and email, all copied into a calendar by hand after hours.

02

Payments need chasing

Invoices go out late, transfers are hard to match, and following up feels awkward with regular clients.

03

No-shows cost you

Without deposits or reminders, a missed appointment is simply lost income.

A client diary for a local dog walker.

For a small service business, the website is only the beginning. Tanya needed a clear way to explain her service, get to know each dog, approve suitable households and manage the practical details of collection, bookings and payments without losing the personal relationship.

  • Client accounts, dog intake and approval workflow
  • Client diary with booking, household details and walk history
  • Management dashboard for sessions, households and booking review

Questions

Platforms / Fees / Ownership
Which booking platform will you use?

The one that suits your business, not a fixed favourite. Common choices include Square Appointments, Fresha, Cliniko, Calendly and Acuity, with Stripe or Square for payments. We’ll recommend one after our first conversation and explain why.

Do I need a new website?

No. Booking setup connects to the website you already have. If your current site makes booking hard, the Booking website option builds one around it.

What about platform and payment fees?

Booking platforms and payment providers charge their own subscription and transaction fees. These are paid directly by you, and we’ll show you the expected costs before we choose a platform.

Who owns the accounts?

You do. The booking, payment and website accounts are set up in your name, and your client data stays yours.

How long does it take?

Booking setup usually takes one to two weeks, depending on how quickly we can confirm your services and availability. A Booking website typically takes three to four weeks.

Do prices include GST?

No. All prices are in AUD and GST is added. Booking setup is 50% to start and 50% when it goes live.
