Clarifying the Appointment Calendar with a Freelance Interface Design Expert — Selçuk Aker

The time that appears on an appointment screen may not mean the same thing to everyone. When designing the calendar flow with a freelance interface design expert, time zone, call duration and availability information should be evaluated together. Uncertainty can easily turn into a wrong reservation, especially for products that work with different cities or countries.

Show context of time information

The user should see which time zone they chose. The automatically determined slice should be able to be changed and included in the approval summary again. Presenting the date, day and duration in one clear summary reduces the loss of meaning that occurs across different screens.

Verify availability after selection

A displayed time may be taken by another user. In this case, instead of requiring the user to re-enter all their information, offer alternatives. Time selection and finalized appointment are different stages. It should be clearly stated when the reservation is completed.

Complete the change and cancellation path

Location, link or participant information should be available after appointment confirmation. Old and new watches should not be mixed when changes are made. If there are time limits set by the product, show them clearly before selection and during the relevant transaction.

Brief check before delivery

  • Is the time zone visible in selection and confirmation?
  • Is there an alternative flow for the hour that becomes full?
  • Is there a link to change the appointment?
