We all know how important first impressions are, right? And when it comes to customer experience, your calendar is often the first thing a client sees.
So, let’s make sure it’s not just functional but also clean, polished, and visually appealing.
Mario Aldayuz, Head of Partnerships at HL Pro Tools,dove deep into a bunch of HighLevel hacks, from pipeline notifications to advanced Voice AI configurations in a live session.
But one topic really stood out to me—calendar CSS customization. Let’s just say, if you’re using HighLevel, this is one area where a little finesse can go a long way.
Let’s break down why calendar customization is such a game-changer and how you can easily clean up your calendar displays using CSS. Trust me, it’s easier than you think!
Why Clean Calendar Displays Matter
Think about it: when your clients schedule a meeting, they’re likely looking at your calendar to decide when they can book time with you.
The last thing you want is to overwhelm them with unnecessary information or cluttered pricing details.
A clean, streamlined calendar not only looks professional but also creates a seamless user experience.
f you’re showcasing a calendar with embedded group booking features, you probably don’t want to flood your clients with pricing information or any irrelevant details.
That’s where CSS customization comes in. It allows you to fine-tune your calendar and display exactly what you want—and more importantly, hide what you don’t.
The Magic of CSS Customization
Now, I get it—CSS might sound like a headache if you’re not a developer. But trust me, it’s not as scary as it seems. Mario broke down a simple yet effective hack for those of us who want to take control of their calendars without needing a coding degree.
One of the most common issues users face? Pricing details showing up in embedded group calendars. This can be distracting, especially if your clients don’t need to see the prices just yet. Here’s where the CSS customization hack comes into play:
How to Hide Pricing Information:
- Target Specific Elements:
By targeting specific elements within your calendar (like a div class for pricing), you can hide those elements from your calendar display. - Simple CSS Code:
If you’re not familiar with CSS, don’t worry. It’s just a matter of finding the right code and applying it to hide elements like prices, buttons, or any other distracting bits. For example:
.price {
display: none;
}
Just like that, the prices will vanish from your calendar display.
Not into Coding? No Worries, I’ve Got You Covered
Okay, so maybe you’re still not quite ready to dive into CSS customization (fair enough). But don’t worry—you’ve got options.
Mario also covered an alternative approach: designing individual calendar buttons that don’t include the pricing fields at all.
This is a great solution for those who want to keep things simple, and it’s perfect if you want to avoid any complex customization.
If you’re running a group booking or event-based calendar, this method lets you design each button or booking interface separately, ensuring that pricing information is tucked away or simply not included in the first place.
