Grav is good for building a booking site. I used it for rental booking by using the service from http://timekit.io. I see Timekit is now commercial, but it is affordable with a free option. It integrates with a Google Calendar. I created a timekit widget for each boat for rent. Each boat has a different colour calendar. When a customer books online, you get an email where you either accept or deny the reservation. When accepted, the availability status is changed on the the Google Calendar in real time. I can see what boats are rented by looking at my Google Calendar which is also embedded on the site so customers can see availability.

The site is http://portofcall.ca/rentals. It is winter now so there is no activity. Just offering an idea for you. It was really easy to set up, good for a non-programmer developer.

I learned Grav from the documentation site. https://learn.getgrav.org/. I am happy to help with the Booking stuff, I could provide your with a copy of that site if you like. One of the many things I like about Grav is how portable it is. I can simply zip up the site and move it to a server or share it with a friend. All it needs is to be run through a webserver. The Skeletons are a great way to fast-track. Download the one you like and unzip it in your web-server root. This is a good article to get your started: https://getgrav.org/blog/development-strategy.

Send me a private message with your email address and I will share the site with you. I am not a great developer by any means, but this did work well last summer during the rental season.

to get a skeleton going, you want to unzip the skeleton in the root so that you get to it by going localhost/skeleton-folder-name
