About the editor
Mia Henderson edits Slotivaro's guides to booking and appointment websites in Canada. The name is a pen name used by the site's editor. The guides make no claims about personal credentials; instead, every factual or legal statement in them is tied to a source you can check, and each source is labelled by type so you can judge its weight.
What the guides cover
- Rules that affect booking websites, such as Canada's anti-spam law, privacy laws and price display.
- Practical details, such as time zones, calendar sync and accessible date pickers.
- Decisions, such as whether to use a booking platform or a custom build, and what a booking site costs.
How the guides are researched
Each guide starts from primary sources where they exist: legislation, regulators, standards bodies and official documentation from the companies whose tools are discussed. Law firm summaries and university guidance are used where primary text is hard to read or reach, and they are labelled as secondary. Agency price guides are labelled as commercial publishers, because they sell the services they price.
Corrections
If you spot an error, write to hello@slotivaro.site. When a correction changes the meaning of a guide, the change and its date are noted at the end of that guide, following our editorial policy. When a rule changes, such as a new provincial law, the affected guides are reviewed and their sources rechecked.
