Appointment Booking Google Calendar

[Stentorian]

Hello everyone! 

 

I hope you're having a great morning/afternoon/evening, I am just posting in order to gain some help. 

 

My brother has recently notified me that he is planning to start his own company and because I'm the only tech savvy person in the family, he has come to me to sort out some sort of website for him. He would like a way for customers to book appointments on the website and for him to be able to see said appointments from his iPad. My thought was something on Wordpress that syncs with Google Calendar (as I'd most likely recommend him Gsuite for his business email to remove any complications). The plugins I have found so far are either extremely limited, or cost an absolute bomb (and I'm talking $50 just for the Google Calendar addon). I am aware that Wordpress does not have the most positive history in terms of security vulnerabilities but I'm lost other than that. I would like some suggestions on a solution please, preferable free or low cost. I am open for all suggestions! 

 

If you need some information on the company, he's going to be a mobile plumber basically so his appointments would be anywhere from 10 minutes to hours long but we'll figure out the scheduling afterwards once we have everything set up in place. I would just like solutions please. 

 

Many Thanks, 

Ben

YOU BLOODY GENIUS! That is exactly what I'm looking for . I will show him the demo when I see him next and I'll get it implemented. Do you know if it supports embedding inside of a website? If not, I'll just create a HTML main page and then have that as a like /booking on the domain.

PERFECT! Thank you so much! You've just saved me like a good hour of Googling trying to find something. I appreciate it!
