Three time zone mistakes booking pages still make
Most booking pages get time zones right in the calendar and wrong in the email. Here is where they slip.
The calendar grid is usually fine. Browsers know the visitor's time zone, and most tools use it.
The mistakes happen after the click: confirmation emails that show only the host's zone, reminders sent at 9 am host time that arrive at 6 am for the client, and daylight saving weeks in March and November.
Perch shows both zones in every email, sends reminders on the client's clock and tests every booking page against the two daylight saving weeks each year.
