    We talk through what you need and tell you honestly whether we're the right team. No charge and no obligation.

  3. Step 3

    A written, fixed-price proposal

    Scope, price and timeline in writing. Nothing starts until you've signed it off.

Who it's for

Clinics, studios, salons, tutors, trades and other appointment businesses who take bookings by phone, email or a third-party page that doesn't look like theirs, and lose money to no-shows.

The outcome: A website that takes bookings and deposits on its own, keeps your calendar right, and cuts no-shows with reminders.

What's included

  • A website of up to five pages, mobile-first and fast to load, with the search basics.
  • Online booking for your services: length, price, opening hours, gaps between appointments, how far ahead people can book, and which staff member does what.
  • Calendar sync with Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, so bookings appear in your calendar and the time you're busy can't be booked.
  • Deposits or full payment by Stripe at the time of booking, with refunds that follow your cancellation policy, on a Stripe account in your name.
  • Email confirmations with a calendar invite, a reminder before the appointment, and links to cancel or rebook within your rules.
  • A simple view for your team of the day's and week's bookings, with the option to add or move one by hand.
  • Google Analytics with consent, with bookings set up as conversions.

Not included

  • Text message reminders, quoted separately because the provider charges per message; the provider account is yours.
  • Memberships, packages and gift cards. We quote those once we know how they work for you.
  • Stripe's fees and domain fees, paid by you so the accounts stay in your name.

How it runs

  1. Week 1Your services, staff, hours and booking rules written down and signed off, with the design direction. The rules set the price.
  2. Weeks 2 to 3Build, with a preview link where you can make test bookings against Stripe's test mode.
  3. Final weekCalendar and Stripe switched to live, a run-through with your team, and launch.

Why trust us with it

This site takes bookings for calls with our team through a slot engine we built, which handles UK time and the clocks changing, and takes card payments through Stripe with webhooks that record each one.

After launch

Keep it working after launch

Websites and apps need looking after once they're live. Website care Plus is the plan most people choose after this, at £195 a month.

Already have an app or site that needs looking after?

Questions we get asked

Often those are the right answer, and we'll say so on the first call: they're quick to set up and cost a monthly fee. A booking website of your own makes sense when you pay commission on every booking, when the booking page doesn't look like your business, when your rules don't fit theirs, or when you want the bookings and customer list on your own site. We can also embed one of those tools into a website for less.
