Booking website — overview

Booking website — price, timeline & scope

A booking website is a site with online booking: a client picks a service or resource (a specialist, a table, a room, equipment), sees free time in a calendar and books it themselves, without a call. The system confirms the booking, sends reminders and, if needed, takes a prepayment. For example, in a salon a client picks a specialist and a service, sees free slots and books at night without a call — and comes in the next morning at a confirmed time. It fits salons and clinics, rentals (rooms, equipment, venues), restaurants (tables) and scheduled services. Ready booking services (like YCLIENTS or Calendly) are cheaper and faster — often enough for standard booking; your own site pays off when your own brand without someone else’s logo, non-standard booking logic, integrations with your systems or a single showcase-plus-booking site on one domain matter. Unlike a store, where people buy a product, here people book time or a resource. The base price starts from 150,000 ₽; the total depends on the number of resources, payment and integrations.

Problems we solve

  • Booking happens through calls and messages — the administrator is overloaded, and some clients cannot get through and leave.
  • Double bookings and clashes: the schedule is kept by hand in a notebook or a spreadsheet.
  • Clients forget about their booking — empty slots and lost money.
  • There is no 24/7 online booking — a client wants to book at night but can only do it during working hours.

What's included in the Booking website service

  • Availability calendar and free slots by service and resource
  • Online booking: choosing a service or resource, time and confirmation in a couple of clicks

FAQ

  • Why your own site if there are ready services like YCLIENTS?

    A ready booking service is cheaper and faster — often enough for standard booking. Your own site is needed when your own brand without someone else’s logo, non-standard booking logic, integrations with your systems or a single showcase-plus-booking site on one domain matter.

  • Can you take prepayment at booking?

    Yes. We connect prepayment or a deposit at booking — this reduces no-shows. Note: online payment requires an online cash register under the law — we set up the integration and refund rules for your model and legal requirements.

  • How much does it cost and what does the price depend on?

    The base price starts from 150,000 ₽, and the total depends on the number of resources and services, whether there is prepayment, SMS notifications and integrations (online cash registers, calendars). For standard tasks a ready service is cheaper; your own site pays off with custom logic, branding or integrations. We calculate it after you describe the task.
