Real projects, in daily use

What it does

• Parents book online in three stepsPick a child, pick a date, pick a time.

  The lesson schedule is created automatically from the season settings, so parents only ever see times that are actually open. Several children can be booked in one go, and payment instructions arrive right away.

• No double bookings, everA time slot is held while a parent checks out, and freed if they walk away.

  While a parent is checking out, their chosen slot is held for a few minutes with a visible countdown. If they leave, the slot releases itself. Two families can never end up with the same time.

• An admin area built around the owner’s dayCalendar, bookings, families and email in one place.

  A dashboard with the numbers that matter, a week-at-a-glance calendar, a searchable list of bookings, family and child records, and a tool to email every parent at once with a record of what was sent.

• Change the schedule without calling a developerClose a day, add a break, adjust coaches, all in a few clicks.

  The owner can close a rainy day, block off a coach break, copy one day’s schedule to another, or change a whole range of dates at once, and undo any of it later.

• Emails that send themselvesConfirmations, reminders, cancellations and account emails, automatically.

  Eleven kinds of email go out at the right moment without anyone pressing send: welcome messages, booking confirmations, reminders the day before a lesson, cancellations and password resets. Every message is logged so the owner can see exactly what each family received.

• Privacy and safety built inProtected against misuse, with privacy controls families can trust.

  Sign-up and checkout are protected against automated abuse, the site has a cookie notice, privacy policy and terms, and a family can delete their own account with future lessons released and past records kept anonymous for the owner’s reporting.

• Fast, easy to find, works like an appShows up properly on Google and can be added to a phone home screen.

  The site is set up so Google understands what the business offers, loads quickly on rural mobile connections, and can be saved to a phone home screen and opened like an app.
