Create a Professional Booking Website

Having a booking website isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s the core of how service-based businesses get found and stay fully booked. Whether you run a salon, a consultancy, or offer private classes, your clients expect to schedule online, quickly and easily. 
 
In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a professional, client-friendly booking website using Webnode and SimplyBook.me. No tech skills needed — just follow each step and get ready to start accepting appointments 24/7. 

Choose a Website Builder with Booking System 

Not every website builder supports online bookings. You need a platform that’s:

  • Easy to use 
  • Customizable for your brand 
  • Compatible with a reliable booking tool 

Webnode checks all the boxes. It’s beginner-friendly, fast to launch, and connects smoothly with SimplyBook.me. This combo lets you offer online scheduling, service management, and payments — all from one place.

Select a Template and Create a Website 

Webnode offers a wide range of pre-designed website templates made for service providers — from hairdressers and coaches to wellness pros and tutors. 

Pick one that suits your vibe — clean, elegant, fun, or professional. 

Customize the Design to Fit Your Brand 

After selecting your template, open the Webnode editor to:

  • Change fonts, colors, and sections 
  • Add your business logo and name 
  • Upload your own photos 
  • Rearrange or remove content blocks 

It’s all drag-and-drop. If you’ve ever edited a social media post, you’ll feel right at home.
