The Setmore alternative for a studio chosen on its work
Setmore's booking page is a form. Nobody picks a tattooist from a form.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Setmore is a competent scheduler and it comes with a booking page, which sounds like a website and is not one: it is a form on their domain, with your name at the top of it. A studio is chosen by looking at work, reading what somebody says about the process and finding out what a session costs. Clay builds that page from your Google listing, puts your portfolio on it and the booking button under it.
Clay vs Setmore
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
How it works

Type your name, Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.

Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
Can I keep Setmore for the diary?
Yes. The Clay page can point its booking button at any link, so the site is yours and the diary stays where your staff already know it.
Why does the address matter?
Because a form on somebody else's domain does not rank, cannot carry your photographs and is not the thing a client sends to a friend.
Does Clay take deposits?
A deposit is stated on the page and settled with you directly: how the booking works.
