Your Booking Page

Your booking page is the public face of your Bookme account. Bookme ships with 12 templates so you can match your brand without writing CSS.

1. The 12 Templates

Each template gives a distinct look and feel:

• Default. Clean, professional, brand-color accents.
• Modern. Bold typography, large hero, two-column event grid.
• Minimal. All-white, type-first, no decoration.
• Bold. High-contrast headlines, oversized buttons.
• Elegant. Serif typography, warm tones, magazine-style.
• Neon. Dark background with neon accent on each event.
• Corporate. Conservative palette, navy and slate, suited to B2B sales.
• Nature. Soft greens and creams, organic illustrations.
• Bento. Card grid in the style of modern dashboard UIs.
• Glass. Translucent panels over a gradient background.
• Neo. Geometric shapes, hard shadows, brutalist edges.
• Timeline. Events listed vertically on a left-side time rail.

2. Preview Templates Before Switching

Go to Settings, then Booking page. Click any template card to preview it on the right side of the page with your real content (your name, photo, event types). Switch as many times as you like; nothing is applied until you click Use this template.

3. Apply A Template

Click Use this template on the one you want. The change is instant; your live booking page updates within seconds.

4. Per-Template Settings

Some templates expose extra settings. Open the Template options panel below the gallery:

• Background style. Solid, gradient, image (templates that support it).
• Header layout. Centered or left-aligned (most templates).
• Event card style. List, grid, or stacked (Bento and Modern).
• Show profile photo. On or off.
• Show bio. Above events, below events, or hidden.

5. Brand Color And Logo

Regardless of template, every page uses your brand color (set under Settings, then Profile) for accents like buttons and hover states. Upload a brand logo and it replaces the default Bookme wordmark in the header.

6. Preview Before Sharing

Before you tell anyone about a new template, open the page in an incognito window or a different browser. What looks fine on your screen sometimes reads differently to a first-time visitor.

Your booking page picks up your logo, brand color, and tagline automatically from your profile. Setting them once changes both your public page and all your outbound emails.

1. Open Your Profile

Go to Settings, then Profile. The first three fields control branding across your booking page and emails.

2. Upload Your Logo

Click Upload logo. Bookme accepts PNG, JPG, and SVG up to 5 MB.

Best practices: – Use a transparent PNG if your logo has a non-rectangular shape. – At least 300 pixels wide for crispness on high-DPI screens. – Square or horizontal orientation works in most templates.

The logo is displayed in: – The header of your booking page. – The header of every outgoing email (confirmations, reminders, follow-ups). – The favicon of your booking page (if it is square).

3. Set Your Brand Color

Click the Brand color swatch. You can: – Type a hex code (e.g. #EE6055). – Click the color picker to pick visually. – Pick from the preset palette (10 popular brand colors).

The brand color is used for: – Primary buttons on your booking page. – Hover states. – Event-type accent colors (overridable per event). – The pill button in outgoing reminder emails.

4. Write A Tagline

The tagline sits under your display name on the booking page. Up to 120 characters. Examples:

• For a coach: “Helping founders find clarity in 30 minutes.”
• For a consultant: “Strategy and ops for early-stage SaaS.”
• For sales: “Quick demos of how Acme cuts your support cost in half.”
• For a recruiter: “Tech roles at Series B startups in NYC.”

Aim for a single line, action-oriented, and specific.

5. Write A Bio (Optional)

Below the tagline, the bio is up to 500 characters. Most hosts use it to: – Introduce themselves in one paragraph. – Mention their company or role. – Set expectations for what a meeting feels like.

You can leave bio blank if your tagline is enough.

6. Save And Preview

Click Save changes, then open your booking page in a new tab. Confirm the logo, color, tagline, and bio look right. Iterate until happy.

The fastest way to catch booking-page mistakes is to preview the page as a real invitee would see it. Bookme makes this one click.

1. Use The Built-In Preview

On the dashboard, click your booking-page URL in the top right corner; or go to Settings, then Booking page, and click Preview live page. A new browser tab opens with your real, public booking page.

2. Why Use An Incognito Window

The built-in preview is logged in as you, which means some things behave differently than they do for a real invitee. For a fully accurate test:

• Open an incognito or private window.
• Paste your booking URL: bookme.brandid.app/book/your-username
• Or open it on a different device entirely.

This shows you exactly what a stranger sees, including time zone auto-detection.

3. Things To Check On First Preview

• Your name, tagline, bio, and photo all read correctly.
• Your event types show in a sensible order.
• The color and template look right on both desktop and mobile.
• Real available slots appear for the next 7 days.
• The booking flow works end-to-end (you can complete a test booking, just remember to cancel it afterwards).

4. Mobile Preview

About 60 percent of bookings come from mobile devices. To test mobile properly:

• Open your booking URL on your phone.
• Or use your browser’s Responsive design mode (Cmd+Option+M in Chrome on Mac, F12 then the device icon).
• Check that the calendar grid fits, slots tap easily, and the form fields are usable.

5. Booking Page vs Event Type URL

Two URLs to know:

• Booking page (bookme.brandid.app/book/your-username) shows every active event type.
• Event type direct link (bookme.brandid.app/book/your-username/intro-30) jumps straight into a specific event.

Most hosts share the booking page URL on their website and email signature; the direct event link is better in 1-to-1 emails (“here’s a link to book my 30-minute intro call”).

6. Common First-Preview Fixes

After a first preview, hosts typically fix: – An old profile photo. – A tagline that reads as filler (“Let’s talk!”). – Event types that are too similar (consolidate or differentiate). – A logo with a transparent shadow that looks broken on the page background.

A profile photo and short bio make your booking page feel personal. Bookme also lets you add social links so invitees can verify who they are meeting.

1. Upload Your Profile Photo

Go to Settings, then Profile. Click Upload photo in the avatar slot.

Bookme accepts: – PNG or JPG. – Up to 5 MB. – At least 300 by 300 pixels for sharpness on high-DPI screens.

The photo is cropped to a circle on most templates. Centered, head-and-shoulders shots work best.

2. Write Your Bio

The bio is the longer paragraph below your name and tagline. Up to 500 characters.

Things to include: – Who you help. (“I work with early-stage SaaS founders.”) – What you offer. (“Strategy sessions on positioning, pricing, and hiring.”) – A bit of credibility. (“Previously head of growth at X.”) – What to expect on a call. (“Come with questions; we’ll dig in.”)

What to skip: – Generic filler. (“Excited to chat!”) – Vague claims. (“Helping people reach their potential.”) – Selling. Your bio sets context, not closes deals.

3. Add Social Links

Below the bio is an optional Social links block. Add any of: – Twitter / X – LinkedIn – Instagram – YouTube – TikTok – Personal website

These render as small icons next to your name on your booking page. Invitees use them to verify you are the real person, especially for cold inbound bookings.

4. Should You Add Every Social Link?

No. Only add the ones you want booked from. If you are taking professional bookings, LinkedIn and your website are usually enough. Adding personal Instagram or TikTok can muddle the signal.

5. Save And Preview

Click Save changes and open your booking page in an incognito window to see how everything reads together.

The order in which event types appear on your booking page directly affects which one gets booked most. Bookme lets you reorder them in seconds and hide any you do not want shown publicly.

1. Open The Event Types List

Click Event types in the dashboard sidebar. You will see every event type you have created, with their current status (Active, Hidden, or Archived) and their order.

2. Reorder With Drag And Drop

Each event type has a drag handle (six dots) on the left side. Click and hold, then drag the card up or down. The order saves automatically when you let go.

The order you set here is exactly the order invitees see on your booking page.

3. Hide An Event Type

To hide an event without deleting it, open the event editor and toggle the Active switch off. Hidden events:

• Do not appear on your public booking page.
• Are still bookable via the direct event URL (useful for private bookings).
• Keep all their bookings and history.

This is the right move for events you offer to specific clients only.

4. Archive An Event Type

Archive is stronger than hide. Archived events:

• Are not bookable, even via direct URL.
• Are hidden from the public booking page.
• Are kept in the system so historical bookings retain their context.

Use archive for events you no longer offer and do not plan to bring back.

5. Show Or Hide Different Events On Different Pages

On the Elite plan with team booking pages, you can build multiple booking pages and choose which events appear on each. For example: – A sales page with only the sales-related events. – A support page with only support and onboarding events.

This is configured under Settings, then Booking pages, then per-page.

6. Categories And Grouping

On templates that support categories (Modern, Bento, Corporate), you can group event types into named sections. Open Settings, then Booking page, and pick Group events into categories. Bookme uses tags you set on each event type as section headers.

Yes. On the Elite plan you can replace bookme.brandid.app with your own domain, like meet.yourbrand.com or book.yourcompany.io.

1. What A Custom Domain Looks Like

Instead of: bookme.brandid.app/book/your-username

Your booking page is at: meet.yourbrand.com (or whichever subdomain you choose)

Direct event URLs become: meet.yourbrand.com/intro-30 meet.yourbrand.com/coaching-session

The bookme.brandid.app URLs continue to work as fallbacks but invitees will always see your domain.

2. Pick A Subdomain

The recommended pattern is a dedicated subdomain like meet, book, schedule, or calendar. Examples:

• meet.yourbrand.com
• book.yourcompany.io
• schedule.yourname.dev
• calendar.yourstartup.co

3. Set Up The DNS Record

Go to your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route 53, etc.) and add a CNAME record:

• Name: meet (or whichever subdomain you chose)
• Value: custom-domain.bookme.brandid.app
• TTL: 300 (5 minutes) for fast propagation; you can raise it later

4. Connect The Domain In Bookme

In Bookme, go to Settings, then Custom domain. Click Add domain and enter the full subdomain you set up (meet.yourbrand.com).

Bookme verifies the DNS record (usually within 60 seconds), then issues a free SSL certificate via Let’s Encrypt. Once verified and certified, your booking page is live on the new domain.

5. SSL Certificate Renewal

Bookme auto-renews your SSL certificate every 90 days. You do not need to do anything.

6. Switch Back To bookme.brandid.app

If you want to disconnect the custom domain, click Remove domain in the same settings page. Your booking page reverts to bookme.brandid.app immediately. The DNS record can stay or be deleted from your DNS provider; Bookme just stops using it.

Bookme supports light, dark, and “follow system” appearance modes per booking page.

1. Open The Booking Page Settings

Go to Settings, then Booking page. Scroll to the Appearance section.

2. Pick A Mode

• Light (default). White or near-white background, dark text.
• Dark. Dark background, light text.
• Auto / follow system. Respects the invitee’s OS or browser preference.

The change applies immediately to your public booking page.

3. Templates And Dark Mode

Most templates support both light and dark cleanly. A few that lean visual (Neon, Glass, Neo) are designed for dark and look best with Dark selected. Auto / follow system is the safest pick if you are unsure: invitees get whichever they prefer.

4. Brand Color In Dark Mode

Your brand color shows up the same in dark mode (Bookme does not auto-shift it). If the color was picked for white backgrounds and looks washed out on dark, pick a slightly more saturated shade or use a different color for dark mode (a paid feature on Elite).

5. Email Theme Is Independent

The light or dark setting only affects your booking page. All outgoing emails (confirmations, reminders, follow-ups) render in a single light theme for maximum readability across email clients.

Bookme detects the invitee’s browser language and shows the booking interface in their language automatically. You can also override the language for a specific event or page.

1. Languages Bookme Supports Today

Bookme’s booking interface is available in:

• English
• Spanish
• French
• German
• Italian
• Portuguese
• Dutch
• Polish
• Russian
• Turkish
• Arabic (right-to-left)
• Hebrew (right-to-left)
• Japanese
• Korean
• Simplified Chinese

New languages are added each quarter. If you need a language not listed, email [email protected].

2. How Auto-Detection Works

By default, an invitee landing on your booking page sees the page in their browser’s preferred language (set in the browser settings). If their language is not supported, Bookme falls back to English.

The booking interface is translated automatically (button labels, date pickers, calendar headers, error messages). Your own content (event titles, descriptions, bio) is shown exactly as you wrote it.

3. Set A Default Language

To force every invitee to see the page in one specific language regardless of their browser, go to Settings, then Booking page, and set the Default language dropdown.

Use cases: – You are a Spanish-speaking host with a Spanish-only audience. Default to Spanish. – You run a business in two countries. Set default to your primary market.

4. Per-Event Language Override

Within a specific event type, you can override the default in the Advanced tab. This is useful for hosts who run, for example, a sales call in English and a technical demo in German.

5. Right-To-Left Support

For Arabic and Hebrew, Bookme automatically flips the layout to right-to-left. Your logo, your photo, and your event cards all reposition correctly.

6. Translating Your Own Content

Bookme does not auto-translate your bio, event descriptions, or workflow emails. If you want fully localized content, you have two options:

• Maintain two booking pages (one per language) on the Elite plan with multiple team booking pages.
• Write multilingual content in your event descriptions: a paragraph in English followed by the same paragraph in Spanish.

Every event type in Bookme has a visibility setting. The two main options, public and unlisted, control where the event appears.

1. Public Event Types

A public event type is:

• Listed on your booking page. Anyone visiting bookme.brandid.app/book/your-username sees it.
• Bookable via its direct URL.
• Discoverable. Search engines can index it (unless you opt out under Settings).

Use public for the events you want everyone to find: discovery calls, public-facing demos, free office hours.

2. Unlisted Event Types

An unlisted event type is:

• Hidden from your booking page. Visitors do not see it in the list.
• Bookable only via its direct URL. People you share the link with can book; others cannot find it.
• Excluded from search indexing.

Use unlisted for: – Private sessions with specific clients. (“Here’s a link to book our weekly check-in.”) – Internal team events shared via Slack or email. – One-off events for a particular launch or campaign.

3. How To Set Visibility

Open the event editor. Under the Advanced tab, find the Visibility dropdown:

• Public (default).
• Unlisted.
• Archived. (Not bookable at all.)

4. Sharing An Unlisted Event

Copy the event’s direct URL from the dashboard (the three-dot menu has a Copy URL option). Share it via email, Slack, DM, or wherever you want.

Anyone with the URL can book; there is no password or login required. If you need stricter access, consider:

• Putting the URL behind an email-gated lead magnet on your site.
• Using a paid event type so payment doubles as gating.
• Asking an intake-form question that you screen manually before confirming.

5. SEO Implications

Public event pages can be indexed by Google. If you do not want this:

• Set the event to unlisted.
• Or under Settings, then Privacy, turn on Hide all event types from search engines.

The second option is workspace-wide and affects every event type.

6. Mass Visibility Changes

On the event types list, select multiple events with the checkboxes and pick a bulk action: Make public, Make unlisted, or Archive. Useful when launching a new offer that replaces older ones.
