Enrollio offers two calendar widget styles—Classic and Neo—that control how your booking calendar looks when parents and families schedule tours or appointments. The right style ensures a smooth scheduling experience that matches your center's needs.
What Are Calendar Widget Styles?
Calendar widget styles determine the appearance and functionality of your booking calendar when you share it with prospective families. You can choose between the Classic widget (simple and straightforward) or the Neo widget (modern with advanced customization).
Classic Widget
The Classic widget is designed for straightforward appointment booking with a clean, simple layout. It's perfect if you need a basic calendar without extra customization.
Best for:
- Quick setup with minimal configuration
- Single staff member or unassigned calendars
- Centers that prefer a traditional booking layout
Neo Widget
The Neo widget is the modern option, built for flexibility and customization. It's automatically used for Group Calendars and includes features that give you more control over the booking experience.
Features include:
- Customizable colors, backgrounds, and buttons to match your brand
- Reorder booking steps (Form, Date & Time, Payment) to fit your workflow
- Staff selection for Round Robin calendars
- Seat display for class bookings (like toddler music classes or parent workshops)
- Sleek, modern interface that feels current
