How to Install a Calendar on Your Website
If a significant number of the inquiries you field every week boil down to "When is that event?", consider embedding your business or group's calendar in your website. This way, customers and group members can find the information they need easily, and you will have more time to do the things you need to do. Your website calendar will automatically update with new events, eliminating the need to manually update your website every time you schedule a new commitment.
