After you have registered your account with SimplyBook.me, the next step is to organize your working schedule, configure providers, services and plenty of other stuff.
We encourage you to check out our video on how to get started.
When you create an account, the system automatically creates 2 pages for you: admin interface and booking page.

Admin interface is where you login and manage your bookings, settings, design etc. Clients have no access to that page. (Example)

Booking Page is the interface for your clients. There, they can book your services and leave contact info. You can always access your booking page by clicking "My booking website" button in the upper right corner of your admin page. You will be transferred to the booking page and you can also send the url to your clients so that they can easily find your company. (Examples)
