Problem in their words
Patients book by WhatsApp; the front desk double-books and loses follow-ups. They want a simple booking site with SMS reminders before building a full EMR.
Who is hurt if this stays broken?
Front desk (chaos), doctors (no-shows), patients (wait / mistrust).
What “done” looks like in 30 days
Live booking page, admin list of appointments, SMS reminder 24h before, owner can export CSV.
Must-haves (max 5)
- Public booking form (service + doctor + slot)
- Admin calendar / list view
- SMS reminder (one provider)
- Basic brand (logo + 2 colors)
- Deploy on their domain
Constraints
- Budget band: $1.5k-$2.5k MVP
- Deadline: soft, before Ramadan rush
- Who approves: clinic owner (Dr. Sara)
- Stack: no preference; keep it simple
- Brand assets: logo yes, photos partial
Next step proposed
- [x] Send scope one-pager
- [x] Send estimate bands
- [ ] Schedule follow-up for sign-off
