What is it, and why is it needed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The word \u201cwidget\u201d<\/strong> refers to a small software application. Widgets can be icons, drop-down menus, forms, scroll bars, or information pop-ups. Often, people use \u201cwidget\u201d to mean not the app itself, but a visual or text element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many websites use widgets to improve their interface and make things as convenient as possible for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Altegio online booking widget<\/strong> is a form that lets clients choose a convenient date and time, an employee, and\/or a service. You can embed the widget on your website and on social media, and its appearance can be easily customized to fit your business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online booking widget may also be called the online booking form<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An online booking link<\/strong> is a link that opens the online booking widget. You can place these links on your website, on social media, or send them to clients in notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can add an online booking link to your website as a button, or place it on Instagram using the Book now<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
