Awesome Website Scheduler – desktop or mobile!

MisterJ September 2, 2022 1 reply

I have been using this plugin for years now and this is the best online scheduler I have found and I use it on any website projects that are customer service oriented. Not to mention the other features aside from scheduling – this is the best!

This site includes everything I needed for my website “All in one” I replaced 90% of my tools with vcita!! I love it!!!

No phone support!

susanmarshallva July 7, 2021 1 reply

Customer support used to include phone support but now they seem to have eliminated this. I’ve been with them for years and when you need support, you usually need it quickly. Without phone support this is no longer an option.

Great Platform

Vcita is a great platform for freelancers, consultants and others who need a range of capabilities, like calendar scheduling, payment processing, online selling and the like. A great service.
