Websites and systems for Liverpool’s independents.

Liverpool’s independents don’t look like anyone else. Bold Street, the Baltic, Lark Lane, Allerton Road. Their websites shouldn’t look like everyone else’s either.

Knock on the door

Built by someone who’s worked the floor

Fourteen years in hospitality, front and back of house, means I know what a Friday night in a busy city bar or cafe actually looks like. The tech has to hold up when it’s rammed, and it has to be simple enough that a new starter can use it on their first shift.

Liverpool also gets a lot of visitors who have never heard of you and are deciding where to go on their phone, standing on the street. That’s the moment your site has to win.

QR ordering and table service: Menus you edit yourself, orders straight from the table, and fewer trips to the bar for your staff.
Websites that win the street search: Fast on a phone, easy to find on Google and Maps, and built to look like your place.
Bookings for studios and salons: Deposits, reminders, staff calendars and a waitlist that refills cancelled slots.
Online shops and merch: Checkout, stock and delivery sorted, so selling online doesn’t mean another job at midnight.

Everything on the list

Work you can look at

For a sense of range: 3D Fight Club sells its own tickets and pay per view, Joyce’s Irish Whiskey is built to feel as premium as the bottle, and WATAG puts a tattoo studio’s loyalty and aftercare on customers’ phones. All the work is here.

Questions from Liverpool businesses

Why use someone from Southport instead of a Liverpool agency?

You deal with one person who builds and looks after everything, at a price set for independent businesses rather than agency rates. It’s just up the coast, so meeting in person is easy.

Can you work with the systems I already use?

Usually, yes. If your booking, payments or stock already live somewhere, I can often connect them rather than start again. If it’s better to replace something, I’ll tell you why.

What does it cost?

A fair one off build fee, then a low monthly fee that covers hosting, backups, changes and support. Payment plans are there, and you get a clear price before anything starts.

What happens after launch?

I look after it. Hosting, security, fixes and changes are covered, and you message the person who built it when something needs doing.
