// websites & systems · built in blaydon

Customers book and pay.
Your team runs every job.

We build websites for established local businesses that do the work while you’re busy. Customers price, book or order themselves at any hour. Every job lands on your team’s own screen, complete. Built on your real prices, products and photos.

// one system, two sides

Your customers do it themselves.
Your team sees it instantly.

Not a brochure with a contact form. One system with two sides: the website your customers use and the screens your team works from.

// your customers

Any hour, on their phone

  • Get a price or design exactly what they want
  • Book, order or send an enquiry at any hour
  • Pay a deposit straight into your own account
  • Change, track or pay the balance without ringing you

// your team

Every job, on one screen

  • Every booking or order lands instantly, complete
  • A board by day, room, van or person, with job sheets
  • An owner’s summary, including what came in while you were closed
  • Prices, stock, photos and team logins you change yourselves

Every booking, order or request lands on your team’s screen the moment it’s made.

// live: inkwell tattoo studio, blaydon

A studio that runs
from its own website.

Inkwell had dozens of five-star Google reviews and no website at all. Now customers send their idea, photos and choice of artist in one go. It goes straight to the right person and the studio runs the rest itself.

// customers

  • Pick the artist they want and describe the idea
  • Send up to five reference photos straight from their phone

// the studio

  • Each artist sees only their own enquiries; the owner sees them all
  • The owner invites and removes his own team, no call to us needed
  • New work goes into the galleries from a phone; any piece can come down
  • The Google review count on the home page updates itself every day
10 min
after setting up his own login, the owner had invited his first artist himself. Each artist gets their own login and sees only their own enquiries.

// three neighbours

Three businesses,
one shopping centre.

// what we build

Whatever the work is,
it can run online.

Salons and studios, trades and workshops, hire, removals, wholesale. If customers ring you for a price, a date or an update, that can be done for them.

Bookings with deposits
Appointments, rooms, hire dates or survey slots, with deposits or fees taken up front and a diary that can’t double-book.
Instant prices and designers
Customers build what they want from your own price list (a garden building, a rug, a set of blinds, a house move) and watch the price as they go.
Trade ordering
Trade customers log in, see their own prices and reorder in a tap. Orders arrive as picking lists, not emails to retype.
Requests that arrive complete
Everything you’d normally ring back for (sizes, weights, photos, access, dates) is asked up front, so the job can be planned straight away.
Your team’s screens
Boards by day, van, room or person, job sheets on their phones and an owner’s summary of the week.

// how we work

From your data
to a working system.

1. We start from your own data
Your prices, products, photos and reviews. Often we’ve built a working version before we’ve even met, so you can try it on your phone.
2. A 20-minute visit
We see how the work runs today and what you’d change. We’re in Blaydon, so for most of the North East it’s a short drive.
3. A fixed quote within two working days
Half to start, half when it goes live. No commission on your takings, ever: card payments go straight into your own Stripe account.
4. Live in weeks, nothing lost
Every page of your current site carried over at the same address, so Google keeps finding you.
5. We look after it
Hosting, security, backups, updates and support, with a reply the next working day. Cancel the care with 30 days’ notice and your content stays yours.
