Wappointment is a user-friendly appointment booking plugin for WordPress<\/strong>. Its essence is to take away the pain from service based businesses willing to fill up their agenda<\/strong> in a reliable way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Why Another Appointment Booking Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It all started with one of our clients providing coaching sessions to business owners<\/strong>. <\/strong>They needed a reservation system to manage their daily appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They had a few requirements :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Making an appointment<\/strong> must be straightforward<\/li>
- Manage their weekly availability<\/strong>, easily set recurring and punctual availability<\/li>
- Connect their personal Ical calendar to the system<\/li>
- Avoid double booking<\/strong>, must be 100% reliable<\/li>
- Make sure their clients remember their appointments<\/strong> thanks to Email and SMS reminders<\/li>
- Make appointment on behalf of their customers from the admin panel, because flexibility is key with old school customers<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Basically what they needed is a system that made their life easier. They had a solution put in place already, but it was unreliable, shabby and impossible to configure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our first idea was to set them up with a simple WordPress site and an existing booking plugin, but at the time, looking at the existing solutions we were not convinced by any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Either they were completely outdated in terms of design and used technologies or overly bloated and complex to teach to our customers. Therefore we started to work on a tailor-made solution using Laravel and Vue.js.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within a week we had a working prototype, few weeks and few bug fixes later we had a solution that our customers could rely on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Port It To WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- One of us already had a successful experience back in 2011 bootstrapping one of the most popular newsletter plugin for WordPress and therefore was feeling ready for that challenge<\/li>
- WordPress is 34% of the web and keeps growing every year, we believe there is space for new innovative solutions<\/li>
- We do believe that the first contact with a prospect needs to reassure, having a clean appointment reservation system would help a lot of business owner<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
