Build a WordPress Driving School Booking Platform

WordPress Developer Required — Driving School Booking Platform I am developing Driving Lessons Direct (DLD), a WordPress-based booking platform for Schools of Motoring in Ireland. The business model is straightforward: DLD provides a complete online booking system to Schools of Motoring for a recurring monthly fee. I currently use Easy Appointments on a live driving-school website and have a working booking system. I do not want to reinvent the booking engine if Easy Appointments can already provide the required functionality. What I need I need an experienced WordPress developer to build the DLD front-end/business layer around Easy Appointments, extending it where necessary. The system needs to support Schools of Motoring with: One or multiple instructors Instructors qualified for one or multiple Irish licence categories Different instructor availability Driving lessons as the bookable service Recurring and one-off availability Holidays/blackout dates Configurable lesson duration and booking limits Customer booking and confirmation Instructor-specific booking pages/profiles Customer journey The customer experience must follow a KISS principle: Find a School of Motoring → Choose an instructor → Choose licence category → View availability → Book lesson → Confirmation The learner should not need to understand Easy Appointments or create an unnecessary account. The underlying booking complexity should remain behind the scenes. Easy Appointments The current system uses: Locations Services Employees/instructors Connections Customers Bookings I want the developer to use the existing Easy Appointments functionality wherever possible, rather than building duplicate functionality. The developer must be comfortable working with WordPress hooks/APIs and extending an existing plugin without modifying its core files. Calendar integration Calendar integration is required, with particular emphasis on preventing double bookings. The target calendars are: Google Calendar Microsoft/Outlook Calendar Apple Calendar The exact capabilities and limitations of each integration should be clearly identified and demonstrated rather than assumed. Cancellations Customer cancellations are handled directly with the instructor in person by SMS. A complicated automated cancellation system is therefore not required at launch. Important I am looking for someone who can first review the existing Easy Appointments installation and recommend what should be configured, extended or custom-built. I do not want someone to unnecessarily build a new booking engine when the existing system can already do the job. Deliverables DLD WordPress functionality Clean, responsive customer-facing interface Easy Appointments integration/extension Instructor/business booking workflow Source code Installable plugin where custom functionality is required Basic documentation Maintainable WordPress code No modification of Easy Appointments core files Please explain your experience with WordPress plugin development and, ideally, Easy Appointments or similar booking systems. I am particularly interested in developers who will analyse the existing system first and recommend the simplest reliable solution, rather than immediately proposing a completely new booking platform. Please do not propose building the entire booking/calendar engine from scratch unless you can demonstrate why Easy Appointments cannot fulfil the requirement.
