Your Google Calendar on your website

Engage visitors at a glance - share your events with the wordl

Always staying at the forefront of new developments, Island Web Design is very excited to introduce to you our new Google Calendar Widget!
It’s a great way to show your upcoming events, workshops, seminars and more. The widget provides a seamless integration with public Google calendars. We can customise the look and feel of the calendar by setting the colour, font and style for the month and days of the week. When visitors click on a specific day, an event popup is displayed showing all the events scheduled for that day.

All the content for this widget comes from Google calendar you select, so that’s where you’ll go to set events. For more on setting up a public Google calendar, read this article.

Calendars are a perfect addition to many types of sites

• Entertainment venues: Tourist attractions, zoos, concert venues and art exhibits – adding a calendar to these sites enables site visitors to see upcoming events at a glance.
• Schools: Help students, teachers and parents by posting the school calendar directly on the school site. It’s a great incentive for visitors to bookmark the site.
• Not for profits & charities: Using a calendar to display fundraisers, special events and more is a great tool for promoting events.
• Gyms & community centres: Post upcoming classes that can be viewed at a glance. Add a contact form immediately below so visitors can sign up for a class.
• Restaurants: Post daily and weekly specials, holiday meals and more. Add an OpenTable widget on the same page, making it easy for visitors to make reservations.
