Karen Easter runs a hypnotherapy praxis located in Darlington, Perth in Australia. She came to us to help her running her business more smoothly by implementing an appointment booking system on her website that takes & confirm bookings, collects payments, exchanges data with her Google calendar and sends the clients a reminder sms a day before the appointment.

Her clients can book online at any time of the day or night. A simple booking screen allows the client to choose the service they want and pick a time slot convenient to them. To confirm the booking they can pay for the session using a credit card or doing a bank transfer. The time slot then appears to be taken on the website. The client receives an email confirming their booking and will receive an sms the day before their appointment to remind them.

Karen receives an email of each 

booking and an entry is automatically made into her Google calendar with the date and time of booking, contact details of the client and whether the payment was made.

Further, within the appointment booking component different resources can be setup e.g. different therapists, doctors, hairdressers etc. and they can have different services assigned. For each resources fixed book off times can be set (f.e. if the resources can not accept bookings at certain days or times).

The appointment booking system also allows to issue discounts and coupons as well as displaying extras that can be purchased. 

Office staff can access a special front desk screen allowing to modify or add bookings.

All in all, this system is a well thought through system that can be implemented in any Joomla website for an affordable price.

Should you be interested to book for a session, Karen offers a special discount to all of our newsletter subscribers of a 10% discount for all services booked through her website.
