| − | Sometimes, websites (WordPress.com in particular) do not support inserting HTML Javascript code we use for our iFrame and button widgets. Then it can be useful to use a simple HTML button code to get your clients attention to go to your booking site at [https://simplybook.me/ SimplyBook.me] and make the appointment. Here is a simple code you can insert on your site or into your emails to link to your booking site at [https://simplybook.me/ SimplyBook.me]

| − | <a href=”//image.simplybook.me/sheduler/manage” target=”_blank”><img src=”https://appointmentbookingsystem.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/book_button.jpg?w=660″ alt=”Booking button” width=”200″ height=”200″ /></a>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now let’s look at the code closer and see its components and how it can be adjusted to your company.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''What you can change:'''
| |
| − | :1. ''image.simplybook.me/sheduler/manage'' – it is the link to your booking page. It can be found when you press “My booking website” in the upper right corner of your admin [https://simplybook.me/ SimplyBook.me] page. You need to insert your company name instead of “image”.
| |
| − | :2. ''https://appointmentbookingsystem.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/book-now-button-1.png?w=660'' – this is the link to the image of “Book now” button. You can choose the image that suits your website design.
| |
| − | :3. ''alt=”Booking button”'' – this is the alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed. You can change the text “Booking button” to “Book now”, “Book here”, etc.
| |
| − | :4. ''width=”200″ height=”200″'' You can insert custom size of the image with the help of these functions.
| |
| − | 5. Please note that all the other signs, symbols and spaces are very important for the proper functioning of the code.
