01

Website design

A website that looks like your business and makes people want to get in touch.

We design and build the whole thing: the look, the words around the pictures, how it works on a phone, and how quickly it loads. You get a site that is easy to update and that search engines can read.

  • Designed around your brand, never a template
  • Fast and easy to use on phones
  • Set up so Google can find you

For the technically curiousHand-built, responsive front ends in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or React when a project calls for it, with PHP where it helps.

02

Admin dashboards

Your own private control room: see orders, bookings and customers in one place.

Stop updating things in five different places. A dashboard lets you and your team change prices, publish news, answer enquiries and see what is happening, safely and without calling a developer.

The Melr Hair admin dashboard: today's appointments, upcoming bookings and monthly takings
  • Sign in securely, with different access for different people
  • Change your own content and prices
  • See what matters at a glance

For the technically curiousRole-based dashboards that talk to your own API.

03

Booking, shops and payments

Let customers book, buy and subscribe at any hour, without a phone call.

Appointments with deposits, products with a basket, memberships that renew on their own. Money goes straight to you, and everyone gets a confirmation. We have built all three for real businesses.

The Be Enhanced admin: upcoming bookings, a weekly view, and menus for the point of sale, cart, treatments and practitioners
  • Online booking with deposits and reminders
  • Shops, baskets and card payments
  • Subscriptions and memberships

For the technically curiousSecure card payments, availability rules and time holds to prevent double bookings.

04

The engine behind your site

The reliable machinery that keeps your information safe, connected and quick.

Behind every good website or app is something that stores the data and does the work. We build that part to be dependable, so your website, your dashboard and a mobile app can all share the same information.

  • One source of truth for your data
  • Ready to grow with your business
  • Can connect to tools you already use

For the technically curiousBackend APIs in Java (Spring Boot), Python and other technologies, chosen to suit the project and built for high availability.

05

Mobile app design and development

An app people understand on first use, designed and built by the same people.

We map out how your app should feel and flow, design every screen, and then build it as a working app for iPhone and Android, connected to the same engine as your website and dashboard. You can see your idea as a clickable prototype before you commit to the build.

  • User journeys, screen flows and full visual design
  • A working app for iPhone and Android, built by us
  • Clickable prototypes you can test with real people first

For the technically curiousDesign systems and interactive prototypes, then the app itself, built to share one engine with your website and dashboard.

06

Fixes, new features and support

Something broken, slow or missing in a site or app you already have? We will sort it.

You do not need to have started with us. We take on existing websites and applications, work out what is wrong, fix it, and add the features you have been waiting for. Many clients then keep us on for ongoing care.

  • Bug fixes and speed-ups
  • New features added to what you have
  • Monthly care so problems are caught early

For the technically curiousWe work with existing codebases, and will say honestly if something is better rebuilt than patched.

07

Hosting and care

Keep it with us, or take it anywhere. It is your choice.

We can host your site and systems on our own highly available servers, with updates, backups and monitoring taken care of. If you would rather host elsewhere, we will set it up there and hand you everything you need.

  • Hosting on our servers, built to stay online
  • Or hosting with the provider you choose
  • Updates, backups and monitoring

For the technically curiousContainerised deployments, secured connections and automated backups.

Not sure which one you need?

Start with the problem.

Most people do not arrive knowing whether they need a website, a booking system or a dashboard. They arrive with a problem: too many messages to answer, a website nobody visits, or something that stopped working.

Tell us what is going on and we will suggest the simplest thing that solves it, even if that is smaller than you expected.
