Your customers book and pay on your site.
A booking page that holds the slot the second someone takes it, collects the deposit, and puts the job in your calendar. No commission to a platform. No email chain to confirm a date.
£1,950 fixed, plus £55 a month. Live in 21 days.
More visitors. Less money per visitor.
The visitors arrived
Derry and Strabane recorded 399,478 overnight trips in 2025, up 35%. The Northern Ireland average was 9%.
The money did not
Visitor spend rose 13.5% against that 35%. More people through the door, each one leaving less behind.
And you cannot hire
67% of service businesses in Northern Ireland cannot fill vacancies. The person answering booking emails is usually you.
You pay for that margin twice: once in platform commission, once in the hours it takes to confirm a date by hand. This fixes the second one and lets you stop paying the first.

Go and break it.
There is a working version running on this site. Take a slot. Then open it in a second window and try to take the same one again. That is the whole product, and it is the part nobody else in the North West is selling.
Open the live demoHow it runs
One call, then I go quiet
What you sell, what it costs, what a deposit should be, and which questions eat your week. Forty-five minutes, recorded so you do not have to take notes.
I build it
Your booking page, your products and options, your deposit rules. Payments through your own account. Confirmation emails to you and to the customer. The booking lands in your calendar by itself.
You try to break it
You get it before it goes live and push it around. One round of changes is included in the price.
Live, and yours
It goes live. Google Business Profile set up or tidied. A recorded 45 minute handover so you can add a product or block a date without ringing me.
What is in, and what is not
Included
Everything below is in the £1,950.
- Booking page with live availability and server-side slot locking
- Deposit or full payment taken online, into your own account
- Up to three bookable products, two options each
- Automatic confirmation to you and to the customer
- Automatic entry in your calendar
- A private panel to block dates and see what is booked
- Google Business Profile set up or corrected
- Structured data so search engines can read your business properly
- One round of changes and a recorded handover
Not included
Said plainly, so nobody is disappointed in week three.
- Photography and video. Quoted separately from £450
- Social media management or paid advertising
- A full website rebuild. That is the Signature or Launch package
- Integration with third-party systems that have no public interface
- Extra rounds of changes, which are billed by the hour
- Your text and images. You send those in the first five days, or the 21 days start later
£1,950 and £55 a month.
The monthly part is the Care plan: hosting, backups, security updates, uptime monitoring and small fixes. A page that takes people's money does not get left unattended, so it is not optional for the first year.
Most studios in Derry publish no price at all. The two figures a buyer here can actually find are £100 from an operator with no address, and £4,500 and up from an agency in Letterkenny. The nearest published price that includes a booking system and payments quotes 8 to 12 weeks. This is 21 days.
Who this is for
A good fit
- You sell something with a date and a time: a tour, a stay, a table, a class, a shoot, a venue hire
- You take between £30 and £400 a booking
- Right now bookings come by phone, email, Instagram message, or a platform taking a cut
- Somebody, usually you, spends hours a week confirming dates
- You are in Derry, Strabane, Limavady, Coleraine, Donegal or near enough to meet
Not a good fit
- You want more followers or more visibility and have nothing to book
- You already have a booking system that works and want it to look nicer
- You are shopping on price. Somebody out there charges £100 and I am not going to beat them
- You need to pay after the grant arrives. Go Succeed pays retrospectively, so the project is funded by you first
The ones that actually get asked
No, and that is the bit worth testing. The slot is locked on the server the moment someone takes it, before any payment. Two people pressing at the same second: one gets it, the other is told to pick another time. This was tested with twelve simultaneous attempts on one slot, twelve times out of twelve a single winner. Go and try it on the demo.
Into your own payment account, directly. It never passes through me. You keep the card processing fee your provider charges and pay no commission to anybody else.
No. This can live on the site you already have, at its own address. If your site is the real problem, say so on the call and I will tell you honestly, even if the answer costs me the job.
You change them yourself in the panel. Prices, options, deposit percentage, blocked dates. The handover recording covers all of it. If you would rather I did it, that is what the monthly plan is for.
Nobody can promise that and you should walk away from anyone who does. Google states plainly that local ranking comes down to relevance, distance and prominence, that there is no way to pay for a better local ranking, and that structured data does not guarantee anything. What this does is make it possible to book you the moment somebody decides to, which is a different job and a more reliable one.
Yes, and that is the part I enjoy most. A Spotlight Day is a half-day shoot for photography, video or both, from £450, edited in-house. As far as I can find, no other studio in the North West offers photography, video and the website under one roof at a published price. It is quoted separately so this price stays honest.
Yes. I work in English and Spanish, and I build for clients in Spain as well as here. If your customers come from both sides, that is unusual in this market and it is yours to use.
Try it first. Then talk to me.
Open the demo, take a slot, and see the confirmation land. If it does what your business needs, tell me what you sell and we will work out whether 21 days is realistic for you.
