Lake District Scene Tours is a local tour guiding business based in the heart of the Lake District National Park. We are seeking a skilled freelance WordPress developer to create a custom contact form on our website that will significantly enhance our booking process and customer experience.
Project Overview:
We require a user-friendly contact form integrated into our WordPress website. This form needs to include the following key functionalities:
Standard Contact Fields: Name, Email, Phone Number (optional), and a general Message field.
Availability Calendar: An interactive calendar where our potential customers can view our tour availability. This calendar should clearly indicate which dates are fully booked, partially booked, or fully available.
Tour Duration Selection: Users should be able to easily indicate their desired tour duration by selecting either "Half Day" or "Full Day" for a chosen date.
Booking System Integration (Reference Screenshots Provided Separately): The form needs to seamlessly integrate with a booking system (details and example screenshots will be provided as separate reference materials). The goal is that upon submitting the form with a selected date and duration, the information is captured and initiates a booking request within the specified booking system. This may involve:
Submitting the selected date and duration to the booking system.
Potentially triggering an automated email notification to us and the customer with booking details or next steps.
The exact integration method will need to be discussed and determined based on the capabilities of the chosen/recommended booking system.
Specific Requirements:
The contact form should be visually appealing and responsive, ensuring it functions flawlessly on all devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).
The availability calendar should be intuitive and easy for users to navigate.
The integration with the booking system must be robust and reliable.
The solution should be built using best practices for WordPress development, ensuring maintainability and security.
We are open to your recommendations for the most effective solution, whether it involves utilizing suitable plugins (we've explored Acuity Scheduling [https://acuityscheduling.com/] and Calendly [https://calendly.com/pricing] as potential options but are open to others) or a custom development approach to achieve the desired functionality.
