I have been all over the internet and some of the other forums, so now I am trying here since there are so many helpful business leaders.
I am looking for a good looking web calendar that doesn’t look like it is from 1980.
Any suggestions?

@melissaholmes is this something that needs to be compatible with specific software like WordPress?

The best calendar software that I know of is Calendar by Solspace but this is an Expression Engine specific addon.

If using WordPress, also look at http://tri.be/wordpress-events-calendar/

@juleswebb- That is a nice looking calendar. We don’t use WP or EE.
It can be java, php or any major language. I need it to have detail options on the date box or listed next to it.

Hey Melissa,
If you don’t mind paying for one, CodeCanyon has a lot of options and they’re usually $5-$15. Here’s PHP Calendars- http://codecanyon.net/category/php-scripts/calendars?ref=iamconsulting. Javascript - http://codecanyon.net/category/javascript/calendars?ref=iamconsulting.

Yes, I was looking through them earlier, Eventer is the closest to what I am looking for: http://codecanyon.net/item/eventer-php-jquery-interactive-events-calendar/1549480?WT.ac=category_thumb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=LucidStudios
These are two calendars that I really like and would like to be able to customize:

http://southamptonpa.com/website-resources/calendar.aspx
It would possibly for a Township site, so I am going for a professional updated look without it looking to minimal – if that makes sense! I may just be too picky!

This is the other one I found, but still kinda looks cheesy to me & has monthly charges… booo!

Will I have to be taking the basic code and altering to get what I need? Anyone that has experience in this please reply. Thanks!

Eventer looks pretty slick. I like that one.

calendarwiz may not be as slick, but it does seem very functional. Looks like you’d get great support, but the downside is continuing financial obligation.

@juleswebb – I agree about Eventer, the only problem I see with that is there are only 2 design options. I will have to see if the code can be adjusted.

When you say “design” are you referring to the 2 color options or how it displays?
The color can easily be targeted using css in a separate style sheet (that keeps things simple when your updating the script at some future point.)
Since you get all the source code I’m sure you can tweak it a bit. How much do you want to change it?

Just to match the layout… I think that the Eventer will be a starting point.
If the project goes through is should look good with that sleek layout.
Thanks @juleswebb!
