Your booking form

Your booking page is a form you build yourself, so it asks exactly what you need to price a piece and nothing you will never read. Open the booking tab in the page editor and the left panel splits into Add content and Input fields. Drag a field onto the form to add it.

• •Text Field is free writing. Choose Short for a single line or Long for a paragraph, and cap it with Max Characters Allowed if people are writing essays.
• •Phone Number and Number Only take a phone number and a plain number, so nobody types words where you expect digits.
• •Dropdown gives one answer from a list you write, separated by commas. Multi-Choice is the same list with several answers allowed, laid out in one to four columns.
• •Checkbox is a single tick, for confirming something rather than answering it.
• •Date Picker asks when they are free. Set how many dates they may pick, and optionally let them add a time range or a note per date. It reads your working hours, so days you are closed are greyed out.
• •Size (L × W) takes a length and a width, in centimetres or inches, whichever you set.
• •Location shows your studios as cards to choose between. You decide per form whether each card shows the studio name, the city, the street address, a map and arrival notes.
• •Image Upload takes reference photos, up to ten, with an optional note per photo. File Upload takes documents instead, with your own limit on how many and how large.

Add content holds three blocks that ask nothing: Text for an explanation between questions, Image for a picture, and Spacer for breathing room.

Every booking form starts with four fields already in it: Email, Your name, Tattoo Title and Tattoo Description. Without these a request is not usable, so they cannot be deleted or duplicated. They can be reworded, restyled and moved.

Email has Ask to confirm email on by default, which makes people type it twice so a typo does not silently cost you the job. Name has Ask for last name, which you can turn off if a first name is enough.

Every field you add has a Required setting with Yes and No. New fields arrive optional. Required means the form will not send until it is answered.

Be sparing. Each required field is one more reason for someone to close the tab, and you can always ask a follow-up question in the message thread once the request is in. Ask for what you need to quote, not for everything you might eventually want to know.

Select a field and the small bar above it gives you arrows to move it up or down, and icons to duplicate or delete it. You can also drag rows in the Layers list under the components panel, which is easier on a long form.

Each field has a Width setting of Full or Half. Two half-width fields sit side by side on a computer and stack on a phone, which is how you keep a form short without shrinking anything.

If someone presses send with a required field empty, nothing is submitted. The fields they missed turn red, the page scrolls to the first one, and a message appears telling them to fill out the field highlighted below. If there is more than one, it says how many.

A date picker with a minimum gets its own wording, asking them to pick the minimum number of options rather than telling them to fill in something they have already partly answered. If you have booking policies set up, the form also asks them to agree before it will send.

Once it goes through, the request lands in your requests inbox with every answer attached, including their photos.

Click the form's heading in the page to select the form itself. Its settings open as four folders. Banner puts an image above the heading, either full width or boxed. Field Content holds the title and description at the top of the form, and switches for showing each.

Colour Options sets the Accent Colour, Question Title Colour and Text Colour. Submit Button sets its wording, its colour, its size and whether it is solid or outlined. Fonts and Background for the whole page sit underneath, covered in fonts, colours and background.
