Ask for the minimum useful information
Start with the selection that drives availability: service, dates, guests or party size. Ask for contact information when it is needed for the next step.
Design an appointment or reservation form around the customer’s task and the capabilities of your connected provider.

Start with the selection that drives availability: service, dates, guests or party size. Ask for contact information when it is needed for the next step.
Use visible labels, readable text and clear required-field indicators. Explain unfamiliar choices instead of relying on placeholders.
Explain duration, location, time zone, capacity and relevant price conditions. Prevent impossible date combinations and explain errors close to the field.
Use “Request an appointment” for a request and “Book” only when the connected journey supports that result. Keep payment and booking confirmation distinct.
Avoid collecting sensitive details in a general form. Explain what happens to the submitted information and link to the relevant privacy notice.
Try keyboard navigation, missing fields, small screens and unavailable options. Check that the confirmation explains the next step and whether any action remains.
