NOTE ON DOTCAl:

“Despite enthusiastic use of Dotcal by many of you over the past three years, we’ve found that there hasn’t been as much demand for this type of product as we anticipated. With this in mind, we have decided to shut down Dotcal on January 15, 2024… We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have questions or thoughts, please feel free to reach out to support@dotcal.co.”

As a website designer, it is important to stay up to date about new CRM’S, email marketing platforms, and other integration tools my clients may use.

One new integration I found is Dotcal — it’s kind of like Flodesk for beautiful booking pages. The first thing that drew me to Dotcal was their logo (branding works, y’all). It is simple, yet high-end and caused me to pause and want to learn more.

I personally do everything through my website (create landing pages) and Dubsado for all the “extras” for my business (contact forms, schedulers, etc.), but I work with a lot of new entrepreneurs who want a booking service like this integrated onto their website and they want it to be EASY to use but also align with their branding; this is where Dotcal comes in!

What is a personalized booking page?

I am all about skipping the back-and-forth of emails for figuring out a time to schedule a call. If you need to schedule meetings, appointments, demos, video chats, or catch-up calls, Dotcal does that. It is perfect for small business owners like designers, recruiters, salespeople, bloggers, artists, attorneys, hair stylists, customer support specialists, life coaches, agency owners, educators, you get the drill.

Show me the backend!

Check out the backend of this user-friendly scheduler! You can design landing pages for clients to book with you and generate a link so people can book with you, or you can create the design of the scheduler, get an embed code, and put it on your website.

In this video I will show you how to design a “15-minute meeting” and then integrate it onto a Showit website!

Affiliate note:

This is an affiliate post, but I never share anything I don’t stand behind. I think this is a pretty cool option if you need just a booking page.

I use Dubsado for clients to book discovery calls with me (see example), workflows once they become a client and I need to send a bunch of the same emails, sending the contract, invoicing and more. It’s a one-stop-shop and was one of the first investments I made in my business.

This is one of the biggest reasons I don’t need to hire a VA, accountant, or bookkeeper, because I have a solid system in place. Use code bekah for 20% off your first month or year. I receive $35 in affiliate credit, but it is at no extra expense to you.*
