More bookings. Less administration.
A properly configured appointment system that takes bookings while you work — integrated into the website you already have, or the one we build for you.

The setup service
Everything included for £199
Our preferred platform is SimplyBook.me: reliable, well supported and flexible enough for most appointment-based businesses.
Additional advanced integrations, unusually complex staff configurations, extensive data migration and custom booking application development require separate quotations.

Managing appointments
You receive your own SimplyBook.me account, with its own dashboard and mobile app. From there you can:
- View upcoming appointments
- Manage daily and weekly schedules
- See customer booking information
- Adjust availability
- Configure holidays
- Manage staff availability
- Reschedule appointments
- Cancel appointments
- Configure relevant notifications
Where supported, calendar synchronisation can connect to Google Calendar. Some features depend on your subscription level and configuration.
Who it's for
Built for appointment-based businesses
Existing websites
You don't need a rebuild to take bookings
We will not rebuild a working website simply to add a booking system. We assess integration with your current platform first.
- WordPress
- Wix
- Squarespace
- Shopify (where appropriate)
- Lovable
- Suitable custom-developed websites
Compatibility is always assessed before we promise installation. If your site cannot support direct embedding, we offer a dedicated external booking page, or quote separately for the development required.
Live demonstration
Experience our booking system
Ryft Development uses SimplyBook.me for its own consultations. Book a free slot and see exactly what your customers would experience.
Book your free consultation
The live booking calendar appears here as soon as the SimplyBook.me account is created and its booking page address is added to the site settings. No availability is shown until then, so nothing on this page is invented.
To connect: create the SimplyBook.me account, set the consultation types and hours, then send the booking page link or widget code and it will be embedded here.
