Booking websites for local businesses · Manchester

Most local websites just sit there. Yours will take the booking — and the deposit.

A proper booking site that takes the date, the details and the deposit automatically. No enquiry forms to chase, no "I'll call you back," no manual bank transfers. Built fast, without the agency price tag.

Works perfectly on every phone, tablet and laptop — because that's where your customers actually book.

Live & trading

A real business, not a mockup.

Bees Bouncers is a bouncy-castle hire business I built and run myself. Customers pick a date, book online, and pay — money lands in the bank, paperwork sorts itself. It's the proof that this works end to end, because it does it every day.

One real business. Two demos built to show the range.

Bees Bouncers is live and taking money today. The other two are demo sites — fully working booking flows I built to show what different trades could have.

Talk it through

Then it's your call: own it, or let me manage it.

Yours outright

I build it, hand over everything, and it's yours to keep. You own the site — no platform lock-in, no per-booking fees taken out of your money. Ad-hoc help whenever you want it.

Built & managed £25–50/mo

I build it and look after it — hosting, security, backups, and small changes whenever you need them. You never touch the tech. No surprise bills, cancel anytime.

How it works

Four steps from "I need a site" to "it's live."

01

We talk

A quick call. You tell me what your business does and what the site needs to do.

02

Small deposit

A deposit confirms the project and I get started. No endless free mock-ups — real work for real commitment.

03

You see it working

Within about a week you're clicking a real, working version — not a slide, the actual thing.

04

Launch

We tidy it up, point your domain at it, and you're live and taking bookings.

Why work with me

Built fast. Tested honestly. Shown working before you trust it.

A real example, not promises

Most people show you logos. I show you a business I built that takes real money every day. You can go use it right now.

Weeks, not months

I build with modern tools that let one person move fast. You get an agency-grade result without the agency timeline or invoice.

Nothing ships untested

You see it working before launch, and before a single payment is taken in your name. If it isn't right, it doesn't go live.

Tell me what you need. Let's see what I can build.

A few lines about your business and what you'd like the site to do. I'll come back with what's possible and what it'd cost — no obligation.
