Availability Calendar and Enquiry Form

DoBu.uk logo

What?

Save time and create confidence by showing your availability. Start discussions with the basics covered so that you can focus on what makes each booking unique. Try our simple calendar and enquiry form below!

How?

You select one of your calendars as your availability calendar and then...

  1. 1 Sync

    A potential client checks if their desired date is available and selects it.

    We keep things simple. A day is shown as unavailable if you already have an event on that day.

  2. 2 Enquire

    Optionally the client is asked for some basic details, such as the venue location and their contact information.

    This may be automatically submitted to a calendar.

  3. 3 Finalise

    You are given the client's details and they yours. Once the booking is confirmed you can move or copy the event to your availability calendar.

About us

This is created for independent entertainers and service providers. People who have a range of services they personally provide at a location of the customer's choosing.

It's created at the behest of Christine Palethorpe who is a professional harpist with over a decade of experience as an independent performer. Specialising in weddings and similar events. DoBu.uk is the result of frustration with current solutions.

Richard Palethorpe is Christine's brother and is a systems software engineer. If you are using an Android phone then you are already using Open Source software I have contributed to; amongst other things I'm a maintainer of the Linux Test Project.
