Need Advice - Booking system

Hi everyone,

I’m going to be building a website for an education provider who provides workshops.

I’m looking for a simple solution where users can sign up for pre-scheduled in-person classes. Functionality must include class dates, class number cap and live data on how many spots are left.

Currently, they just have a Google Form collecting emails.

Does anyone have any suggestions or platforms on how I might do this? I’m open to using Webflow CMS or an Integration, though must be simple to use, as the client wants to be able to use it on their own.

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

This is probably doable with Webflow’s native tools, but it might require a lot of time and effort to make it work. And there could be a nuanced limitation you run into very late in development that will derail the whole thing. In this case, it might be best to not reinvent the wheel. I suggest looking into Eventbrite or Cognito Forms. But if you end up building this in Webflow, please post details here!

Hi @ThomasDuggan.
Josh with Foxy here. Are the classes paid, free, or a mix of both?

Hi Nina, thanks for your advice! Hmm I thought the same thing about building it within Webflow. I think I’ll take your advice and use 3rd party :slight_smile:

Building a website for workshops sounds exciting. When I set up a similar system, I found that using an online booking service was a game-changer. It allowed participants to sign up for classes, view available spots in real-time, and even receive automated confirmations.

Platforms like Webflow CMS can integrate these features seamlessly, making it easy for your client to manage without technical hassle. Another option is exploring plugins or widgets specifically designed for class scheduling and attendee management, ensuring a smooth experience for both you and the users.

I’d recommend checking out community forums or developer groups for more insights tailored to educational providers.
