Mobile Optimized Online Booking (website)
The mobile online booking through the website functionality using the widget does not work properly when using your mobile phone. Mobile phone usage has become mainstream, even more so than computers, when booking appointments or ordering food or booking an Uber ride. Mobile optimization should be one of the priorities so that customers can easily book appointments whether on their phones or laptop/desktop computers. Currently, one way this works is by enabling "open in new window". My website is run on SquareSpace and so if I'm simply running the widget, I cannot get on the booking site using the widget. I have to type out the entire online booking address for the widget to work on the mobile phone. If I disable the "open in new window", then it doesn't work. Basically, I'm not using the widget at this point.

Booking widget on mobile devices to open in same window (re-post)
Apologies... this idea was posted 3 years ago and seemingly went nowhere.
"The booking widget currently opens in a new window and redirects to www.dashboard.boulevard.io (http://www.dashboard.boulevard) and also redirects the parent window (the website) to the booking widget as well. It makes it difficult for the client to get back to our website to learn more about the studio since it appears that both windows are now for booking"Solution would be to make logo at top link back to homepage

Suggestion would be to have logo at top link back to home page.
