Mindbody Booking Widgets

i 3 Table Of Content

Mindbody Booking Widgets (formerly branded web tools or HealCode) are a set of tools that allow you to place your Mindbody schedule and checkout process directly onto your own website. Without these, your clients are often redirected away from your site to the Mindbody consumer site to book, which can disrupt the user journey and lower conversion rates.

These widgets are essential for creating a seamless branded experience. They include class schedules, appointment widgets, staff bios, and “Buy Now” links. They pull live data from your Mindbody server, meaning if you change a class time in your Mindbody admin, it instantly updates on your website.

For our clients using Mindbody, these widgets are non-negotiable. We implement them to ensure that your beautiful agency-designed website acts as the booking engine, keeping traffic on your domain and giving you full control over the aesthetic of the customer journey.

Features

  • Schedule Widget: Displays your live class timetable with “Book” buttons.

  • Appointment Widget: Allows clients to search for available private appointments by service or staff member.

  • Enrollment Widget: specifically for workshops, retreats, and events (enrollments).

  • Prospect Widget: A lead capture form that creates a profile in Mindbody marked as a prospect.

  • Staff List: Displays staff profiles and photos pulled from your Mindbody account.

  • Buy Now Links: Direct links to add specific pricing options to a cart.

  • Mobile Responsive: Designed to adapt to phone and tablet screens.

Benefits

  • Retention: Keeps users on your website, reinforcing your brand rather than Mindbody’s.

  • Conversion: Reduces the number of clicks required to make a booking, which typically increases sales.

  • SEO: Keeping traffic on your site (rather than bouncing them to a third party) is better for your search engine rankings.

  • Real-Time Accuracy: Always shows the most up-to-date availability without manual website updates.

  • Customisation: Can be styled with CSS to match your website’s fonts and colours perfectly.
