E-commerce and booking websites

Selling and booking, built into the site

Many small businesses do not need a full online shop. They need customers to be able to see what is on offer, ask about it, book it or pay a deposit, without being sent off to a separate platform.

We build those features directly into your site's structure. They look and behave like the rest of the site because they are part of it, not a third-party widget dropped onto a page.

Product listings

Product or service listings are designed around what you sell: the details a customer needs to see, clear photos and an obvious next step, whether that is an enquiry, a booking or a payment. With an admin panel you can add, edit and remove items yourself.

Booking and enquiry forms

A booking or enquiry form is only useful if the details reach you in a usable shape. We build forms around the information you actually need from a customer, and the enquiries can be managed in one place in your admin area, so nothing sits forgotten in an inbox.

Every form is protected with CSRF protection and spam checks, and anything stored goes into the database through prepared statements.

Online payments where they make sense

Where deposits or online payments are part of how you take business, we integrate Stripe or PayPal. Card details are handled by the payment provider, not stored on your website.

If you do not take payment online, we do not add it for the sake of it. A well-built enquiry or booking form is often all a local business needs.

What you get

• Product or service listings built into your site
• Booking and enquiry forms designed around your business
• Enquiry management in your admin area
• Stripe or PayPal integration where deposits or payments are needed

What you need depends on how you take business, so e-commerce and booking features are scoped and quoted individually. Tell us how customers buy from you or book you today, and we will come back with a firm price.

Managing it yourself

If your listings change often, an admin panel lets you add, edit and remove items and keep an eye on enquiries without a developer. The full CMS/Admin Panel is part of our Top Tier, which starts from €599. If your listings rarely change, you may not need one, and we will tell you so when we scope the project.

How we scope it

We start with how you take business now. Do customers ring you, message you, book a time or pay up front? What do you need to know from them before you can say yes? From those answers we work out which features belong on the site and which would only get in the way.

You then get a firm quote for the build. We design, build and test the site, handle hosting, domain and DNS setup, and manage the launch.

Secure and maintainable

These features are custom-coded in PHP and MySQL in the same way as the rest of the site, with CSRF protection, prepared statements and a nonce-based Content-Security-Policy as standard. There is no plugin stack to keep updated, and we stay on hand after launch for fixes, tweaks and additions.
