How do I customize the look of my booking calendar?

You can match your booking page to your agency's brand colors, change the button text, format the description and add a cover image. A booking page that looks like the rest of your website builds trust with families and referral partners.

These options work only with the Neo widget style.

Change colors, button text and what is shown

  1. Go to Calendars > Calendar Settings and click Edit on the calendar.
  2. Open Advanced settings and then Widget appearance (shown as Customizations on some screens).
  3. Set the options below.
  4. Click Preview Widget to see your changes. Click it again after each new change.
  5. Save.
  • Primary Color: buttons, dates, time slots and other actions. Enter your exact brand color as a hex code (it starts with #) or use the color picker.
  • Background Color: the background behind the date picker and the form. If you use a custom form, set its theme to match.
  • Button Text: the label on the final booking button, such as "Book My Consultation" or "Schedule Assessment."
  • Hide Calendar Details: hide the calendar name, description, length, date and time, recurring details and time zone from the left panel.
  • Show seats per slot: on Class Booking calendars with more than 1 seat per class, shows how many seats are left in each time slot. Useful for a caregiver training or family information session.
  • Reset to Default: returns everything to the standard blue and white look.

Tip: pick primary and background colors with strong contrast, one light and one dark, so text stays easy to read for older adults.

Format the calendar description

  1. Open the calendar and go to Meeting Details.
  2. Use the editor toolbar under the description to add bold, italics, lists, links, headings, text color and alignment.
  3. Click Save.

A short bulleted list of what to expect during the consultation, and a link to your services page, works well here.

Add a cover image

  1. Edit the calendar and open the Customization tab.
  2. Click the option to upload a cover image.
  3. Upload a photo from your computer, or search the built-in Unsplash library for one.
  4. Save.

Cover images also show on calendar group pages that use the Neo template.

Common questions

  • Which calendar types can be customized? All of them, including Personal, Round Robin, Class Booking, Collective, Event and Service calendars.
  • I added custom CSS. Which wins? Your CSS takes priority over these settings.
  • I turned off the details but the left panel still shows. To hide it fully, turn off the calendar name, description and details, remove the logo in Meeting Details, and turn off Allow Select Staff.
