Booking systems built around how you work

Booking looks simple until you add terms, capacity, deposits and cancellations. We build systems around your own rules, or connect a calendar you already use when that's all you need.

When a bespoke system makes sense

  • Your rules don't fit a standard booking tool
  • You pay a growing monthly bill for software that only half fits
  • Staff re-enter the same details in several places
  • Bookings need to feed into invoices, registers or staff schedules

What we build

  • Class and term bookings. Starstruck's platform works out fees for children who join partway through a term, and raises one invoice per family.
  • Waiting lists. When a class is full, Starstruck parents can join a waiting list, and offers hold the place while a family decides.
  • Held payments. In a Pickle holds the customer's card for the price and only charges it when the job is settled.
  • Consultation bookings. Edwards Jewellery has an online booking calendar embedded in its site, which is often all a business needs.

See it in practice

  • Starstruck Performing Arts: A bespoke platform that takes a family from first enquiry to the class register, replacing around £5,000 a year in third-party charges.
  • In a Pickle: A three-sided breakdown marketplace built from a founder's idea, with live tracking, held payments and supplier payouts.
  • Edwards Jewellery: A website and business platform that shows the specialist behind the brand, with an online shop, commissions, events and a private client area.

How it works

We start with a free consultation about your business and what the site needs to do. You then get a fixed price and timeline before any work starts, approve the design before we build it, and own your domain, content and data.

Frequently asked questions

Not always. If a standard calendar tool fits how you work, we'll say so and connect it to your site. Custom software makes sense when your rules or costs have outgrown it.

Larger builds are quoted to your requirements, and you always get a fixed price before any work starts. A professional business website typically starts from around £1,500.

Online shops, booking systems and larger builds usually take 8 to 16 weeks. A standard business website usually takes 4 to 8 weeks.

No. All our work is done online, so we can work with you wherever you are.
