If you're currently using the old Eversports widgets, itโs time to switch. This guide walks you through the differences and explains the benefits of the new generation โ so you can make the best decision for your studio.
๐ก Why Did We Create New Widgets?
The new widgets arenโt just a design refresh โ they solve real business needs.
They were built to:
- Make your website faster and more mobile-friendly
- Support multi-venue studios
- Let you create multiple widgets for different use cases (e.g. teacher-specific calendars, student pricing, etc.)
- Offer built-in customization without needing CSS
- Prepare for future browser updates that limit iframe use
Whether you're growing your team or running special campaigns, the new widgets give you the tools to showcase your offerings clearly and flexibly.
