Adding an Appointment Form to Your Website

While the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed many short-term changes on businesses, some of the changes to customer preferences are likely to be long-lasting. People have come to expect a higher degree of convenience and comfort, along with secure options to meet. 

And then there are always the clients who prefer to meet in-person instead of virtually, which has been complicated by health and safety rules. Providing customers an effortless way to set up an appointment for them to be seen in person is a must for navigating those challenges.
