Common web design FAQs answered by experts

Can you add online booking, payments, or memberships to a website?

Yes, we can add online booking, online payments, and memberships to your website, either by connecting proven third-party tools or building a custom flow that fits how you run your business.

For booking, most Orlando service businesses do best with a scheduler that embeds right on your site (so visitors do not bounce to another page), syncs with your calendar, and can send confirmations and reminders. This is common for dentists, med spas, lawn care, pest control, and attorneys offering consults. If you are unsure whether you need design work or back-end functionality, our FAQ on the difference between web design and web development breaks it down in plain English.

For payments, we can add a simple “Pay invoice” page, collect deposits to cut no-show appointments, or take full payment at checkout for services, products, or packages. In most cases we recommend hosted checkout (Stripe, Square, PayPal, and similar) because your site never stores card numbers, which lowers risk and reduces what your business has to handle. PCI DSS 4.0 introduced new requirements that became effective March 31, 2025, so using a well-supported payment flow matters more than ever. If you want us to build or update the pages around these flows, our web design service covers the layout, messaging, and mobile-first checkout experience.

For memberships, we can set up recurring monthly or annual plans (think lawn care maintenance plans, pest control subscriptions, coaching programs, private libraries, or “VIP” perks). On WordPress, this is typically done with a membership plugin connected to Stripe or PayPal; on other platforms, we may use built-in subscriptions or a checkout tool plus a member portal. If your site is on WordPress and you want to understand why that matters for plugins and member access, see what WordPress is and why businesses use it.

If you are a healthcare or dental practice in Florida, booking and forms can touch protected health information. In that case, we set things up so you collect only what you need, and we look for vendors that will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) when required. We also pay attention to tracking scripts on scheduling and thank-you pages because patient-related web activity can create compliance headaches if it is handled carelessly.

All three features work best when the site stays updated, backed up, and monitored, especially if you are using plugins for payments or memberships. Our WordPress hosting option is built for businesses that want updates, speed, and security handled without juggling multiple vendors.

If you tell us what you sell, how you schedule, and whether you need deposits or recurring plans, we can recommend the cleanest setup that fits your workflow and keeps the booking and payment steps short on mobile, which is where most local Orlando traffic starts.
