Business tools: booking, invoices, payments, and client portals

Online booking, quotes and invoices, card payments, or a client portal, built into your website. One comes with Business + Tools, or add any as you grow.

A website that only shows information is a good start. A website that takes bookings, sends invoices, or collects payments while you're busy doing the actual work is better. I build these tools into your site, with your branding, so your customers never feel like they've been sent somewhere else.

The tools

Online booking

Customers pick an open time and book themselves, day or night, and you get an email for every booking. Good for appointments, consultations, lessons, and classes.

As an add-on: $299, plus $10 a month.

Quotes and invoices

Send professional quotes, turn them into invoices when they're accepted, and keep track of what's been paid. Good for trades, contractors, and anyone who prices jobs one at a time.

As an add-on: $299, plus $10 a month.

Payments

Take card payments on your site through Stripe, for deposits, services, or simple products, without a separate online store.

As an add-on: $199.

Client portal

A private login where your clients find what they need from you, in one place, instead of digging through old emails.

As an add-on: $299, plus $7 a month.

Two ways to get them

  • Business + Tools ($79 a month) includes one tool of your choice, along with everything in the Business plan, an hour of changes a month, and priority support.
  • Add-ons let you add any tool to any plan, or a second tool to Business + Tools, whenever you're ready.

Why build it into your website?

  • One place for your customers. They book, pay, or log in on your site, under your name.
  • Set up around how you already work. Your services, your hours, and your wording, not a one-size-fits-all form.
  • Looked after with the rest of your site. The same person who built it keeps it running and answers your questions.

How it works

  1. We walk through how you work today. How customers book, how you price jobs, and how you get paid.
  2. I set the tool up around it. Your services, prices, and messages, in your branding.
  3. We test it together with real examples before your customers see it.
  4. I show you how to use it, and I'm a quick email away afterward.

FAQ

Questions

Which tool should I start with?

Whichever one saves you the most time each week. If the phone rings for appointments, start with booking. If you send a lot of estimates, start with quotes and invoices. I will help you choose on our first call.

Can I add another tool later?

Yes. Any tool can be added to any plan as an add-on whenever you are ready.

Are there card processing fees?

Yes. Card payments go through Stripe, which charges its standard processing fees on each payment. Those are separate from my prices.

Do I need Business + Tools to get a tool?

No. Business + Tools includes one, but you can add any tool to Starter or Business as an add-on.
