Booking Page Setup
Your booking page is the front door to your business. It's a public page where potential clients can see your session types, view your availability, and submit a booking request — all without a single email back and forth.
Creating Your Booking Page
- Navigate to Bookings > Booking Page and click Set Up Booking Page.
- Choose a URL slug for your page (e.g., creav.io/book/your-studio-name).
- Add a cover image and welcome message. This is the first thing clients see, so make it count.
- Select which session types appear on your booking page. You can show all or just a curated selection.
- Click Publish to make your page live.
Customizing the Design
Your booking page automatically inherits your brand colors and logo from Settings > Brand. You can further customize:
- Layout: Choose between a grid view (shows all session types at once) or a list view.
- Session cards: Each session type displays its name, duration, starting price, and a brief description.
- Background: Upload a custom background image or use a solid color.
Booking Flow
When a client clicks on a session type, they see your available dates and times. After selecting a slot, they fill out your intake form (which you configure in Forms > Booking Form). You receive a notification and can approve or decline the request.
Approval vs. Instant Booking
Choose your preferred booking mode:
- Approval required: You review each request before confirming. Best for custom sessions where you need to discuss details first.
- Instant booking: Clients book directly and the session is confirmed immediately. Best for standardized sessions like headshots or mini sessions.
Embedding on Your Website
Copy the embed code from Bookings > Booking Page > Share and paste it into your website. The booking page renders in an iframe that matches your site's width. Alternatively, use a simple link button that opens the booking page in a new tab.
Tracking Performance
View booking page analytics in Bookings > Analytics. Track page views, booking requests, and conversion rates. If views are high but bookings are low, consider simplifying your session options or adjusting your pricing display.
