- Make sure it looks good
The last thing to do is to preview the site to make sure it all looks good. If there are scroll bars showing, just resize the area of the embed to make sure it fits. Be sure to check the preview on mobile view also to make sure it still looks good!
- You’re good to go!
Your embeddable appointment booking form is now set up and your users can start scheduling appointments with you right from your Jimdo website!
Use a website builder other than Jimdo where you want to offer online scheduling? AppointmentThing also integrates with most popular site builders like Leadpages, Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, Weebly, Kajabi, and more.
