What you get
More than a website. The tools to run it.
Every site the studio builds sits on the same shared set of parts, built once and kept up to date for every client. You switch on the ones your business needs. A fix or a new feature reaches your site with the next update, at no extra cost.
Your own admin panel
Change your words, pictures, prices and pages yourself, from a phone or a laptop.
- One login for everything on this page, with a passkey or a code as a second step.
- A dashboard that opens on what needs you today: enquiries waiting, orders to send, reviews to approve.
- Add your staff, and decide what each person can see and change.
- A request button for anything you would rather the studio did, with a reply in the same place.
Enquiries inbox
Every message from your site is kept in your panel as well as emailed, so a lost email is never a lost customer.
Most used by
- Each enquiry shows the page it was sent from and where the visitor came from: Google, Facebook, an email or a link.
- The sender gets a short reply straight away, in your words, so they know the message arrived.
- Spam is filtered and throttled before it reaches you.
- Mark an enquiry as answered, and the dashboard counts what is still waiting.
Traffic dashboard
How many people visit, which pages they read and where they came from, with no cookie banner.
- Counted on your own server, so no visitor is tracked across other sites and there is nothing to consent to.
- Visitors by day, your busiest pages, and the sites and searches that sent them.
- Your Google search figures beside it: the searches you appear for and the clicks they bring.
- Pick a week, a month or a year, and compare it with the one before.
Reviews on your site
Your Google or Trustpilot reviews, copied to your site every night and marked up for search.
Most used by
- Your average and your latest reviews on the pages that need them, with no widget to slow the page down.
- You choose which reviews show. A new one waits in your panel until you approve it.
- Search engines read the rating from the page, which is what puts stars under your result.
Online shop
Sell online from a shop built around your products, with no monthly fee per sale or per app.
Most used by
- Card payments and PayPal, with the money going straight to your own account.
- Products, categories, stock, offer prices and discount codes, all edited in your panel.
- Order emails to you and to the customer, and a reminder to a customer who left a full basket.
- Moving from another shop platform brings your products with you.
Events
Gigs, markets, open days and workshops, listed on your site and found in search.
Most used by
- Add a date in your panel and it appears on your site at once, with past events moved aside on their own.
- Each event is marked up so search can show its date and place.
- Call them what you call them: gigs, markets, classes or open days.
Reminders for repeat work
Your site emails a customer before their next service, check or visit is due, so the work comes back to you.
Most used by
- Keep the customer and the date their next job is due, and the email goes out ahead of it.
- Every email has a way out, and a customer is never sent the same reminder twice.
- Your panel shows who is due this month and who has been reminded.
Bookings
Taking bookings is different for every business, so this part is built for your project.
Most used by
- Rooms and nights, appointments and staff, tables or classes: it follows how you already work.
- Deposits or full payment at the time of booking, through the same card payments as the shop.
- The booking lands in your panel, with emails to you and to the guest.
Promotions
Plan an offer once, and your site, Facebook, Instagram and your mailing list all carry it.
Most used by
- Pick the products and the dates, and the offer prices go live and come down on their own.
- The posts go out to Facebook and Instagram on the day, with a picture made to the right size.
- One email goes to everyone who signed up for offers, and nobody else.
- Afterwards you see what each channel brought in, in visits and in sales.
Business email
An address at your own domain, on a mail server the studio runs, with the phone and desktop apps you already use.
- Spam, viruses and phishing links are checked before a message reaches you.
- Your domain is signed, which keeps your messages and your site's messages out of the spam folder.
- Set an iPhone up from your panel in one step, and reset a mailbox password there too.
Password vault
A private vault for your business passwords, at vault. and your domain.
- Only you hold the key that opens it. The studio stores it encrypted and cannot read an entry.
- Invite your team from your panel. The studio removes someone the day they leave.
- It works with the free password apps for phone, browser and desktop.
