A coworking space website that sells desks and books tours
Freelancers and small teams choose a workspace by comparing desk types, prices, amenities and the feel of the place, then asking for a tour. A coworking space website should make that comparison easy and the tour one tap away. Meeting rooms suit Anticode's per-slot booking. Hot desks shared by many members need a dedicated coworking system.
Who's comparing, and what they compare
Three kinds of visitor arrive. A freelancer tired of working from the kitchen wants a few days a month and a decent coffee machine. A small team of four to ten wants a private office with a lock and a meeting room. A remote worker visiting town wants a day pass. Each scans for the same facts in a different order, so the homepage should lead with the plans and a "Book a tour" button, then the space itself.
Plans and prices, side by side
| Plan | What to state |
|---|---|
| Day pass | Price, hours, what's included (Wi-Fi, coffee, a locker?), whether to book ahead. |
| Flexible or part-time | Days per month, any time restrictions, meeting room credits. |
| Dedicated desk | Your own desk, storage, 24-hour access or not, business address. |
| Private office | Sizes by number of people, furnished or not, notice period, starting rate. |
| Virtual office | Business address, mail handling, phone answering if offered. |
Publish starting prices and say whether they include tax and utilities. Hiding prices behind "Contact us" sends freelancers to the space down the road that shows them. For private offices, a "from" price per desk and the notice period is enough to start a conversation.
Amenities, community and the practical details
Generic sites for workspaces list amenities as icons with single words: Wi-Fi, coffee, community. Visitors want specifics. Internet speed and whether there's a wired option, phone booths for calls, how many meeting rooms and their sizes, kitchen, showers, bike storage, parking, accessibility, dog policy, opening hours and 24-hour access. Then the community: events you actually run, the kinds of members you have (with their permission to say so), and whether it's a quiet or social space. Real photos at different times of day show the atmosphere better than any adjective.
Tours, meeting rooms and hot desks
Anticode's booking calendar lets a visitor pick a service, day and time, and give their name, phone and email. Two visitors can't book the same slot, and dates in the past or beyond 120 days are refused. How that fits each kind of booking:
- Tours
- A good fit. Offer a "Tour" service; its six times are fixed (09:00 to 17:30, Mondays skipped), so confirm each tour with whoever will be in.
- Meeting rooms
- A fit if the same six fixed times suit the room, with each slot taken by one booking. You can't set your own hours, slot lengths or closed days, so say on the page how long a booking lasts. For several rooms, set each room up as its own service. Payment can follow by a payment link, or be included in membership.
- Day passes
- Sell through the account's one payment link if day passes are the main thing you sell online. Neither the link nor the calendar caps how many you sell for a date.
- Hot desks
- Not a fit. A pool of desks shared by many members on the same day needs a booking system that counts capacity and knows who's a member.
There are no deposits, calendar sync or staff rotas, and members don't have accounts on the site. Spaces that rely on members booking desks and rooms themselves, with credits deducted, should use a dedicated coworking management platform and link to its member app. See the booking calendar page for exactly how slots behave.
Team office enquiries
Private office enquiries are worth the most and need the most follow-up. Anticode's standard contact form takes name, email and a message; prompt for team size, move-in date, length of stay and budget. Each enquiry is saved sealed at rest and emailed to you, and connectors can post it to a Slack channel or into HubSpot (for submissions with an email address) so nobody forgets to call back. The discovery call booking workflow is useful if you'd rather book a call than a visit.
Building it with Anticode
Describe the space, the plans, the people who work there and your neighbourhood. Plan for separate Pricing, Book, FAQ and Contact pages. Swiss (Inter Tight) suits a design-led space; Organic (Figtree) suits a relaxed space with plants and natural light; Technical (IBM Plex Sans) suits a space aimed at developers. The account has one payment link, from Stripe Payment Links, PayPal or Whop, and every buy button opens it, so point it at a day pass or at a page at your provider listing the memberships. Publish on your own domain on a paid plan.

Questions people ask
Can members book hot desks on my Anticode site?
No. The calendar takes one booking per slot and has no member accounts, so it can't share a pool of desks. Use a coworking management platform for that.
Can visitors book a meeting room?
Yes, at the calendar's six fixed times, with one booking per slot per service. Set up each room as its own service and take payment with a payment link if needed.
Should a coworking space show prices?
Yes, at least starting prices for each plan, and whether they include tax. Most people compare several spaces before booking a tour.
