Booking & Scheduling
The problem
One chair, one calendar, and a phone that won’t stop ringing.
Single-location salons, clinics, and home-service pros run on phone calls, messages, and a paper appointment book taped to the counter. Double-bookings happen. Calls come in mid-service. A no-show on a quiet Tuesday quietly costs the whole afternoon.
The big scheduling platforms are built for chains and franchises, too heavy, too much setup for one location run by one person. Most independents try them once, give up on the config, and go back to the notepad.
Slate does one thing well: let clients book an open slot themselves, and send the reminder so they actually show up. No training required, online in an afternoon.

A visual system built for this problem, not a template.
Every concept ships with its own small design system, colour, type, and interaction choices made for that product’s context, not inherited from a shared kit.
