Software for salons & hospitality
For salons and hospitality, the website’s only real job is to fill the diary or the tables. A beautiful site that doesn’t take bookings is decoration. We build sites and apps where booking is the point, not a bolt-on.
What usually gets in the way
- ✕Bookings still taken by phone during your busiest hours
- ✕A pretty website that doesn’t actually convert to reservations
- ✕Deposits and no-shows handled manually, if at all
- ✕No easy way to promote quiet slots or last-minute availability
Working with salons & hospitality businesses
Almost every salon and hospitality enquiry starts on a phone, usually in a spare moment — a bus ride, a lunch break. If your site takes more than a couple of seconds to load or the booking button is buried, that moment is gone and so is the booking. So the build priorities are speed, an always-visible book-now action, and a flow that takes seconds, not minutes.
No-shows are the other conversation. Card-on-file deposits or a small booking fee transform no-show rates, and the technology for it is now cheap and well-trodden — Stripe handles the card details so you never touch them. The system can also do the quiet work: prompting lapsed regulars, promoting off-peak slots, and asking happy customers for the Google review at the right moment.
Where a platform like Fresha or ResDiary already fits your operation, we'll integrate with it rather than rebuild it. The custom work goes where it earns: a site that actually converts, and the pieces the platforms don't do for your specific business.
Common questions
- Can you take deposits to stop no-shows?
- Yes — deposits, card-on-file with a no-show fee, or full prepayment, whichever fits your business. Payment details are handled by Stripe, so nothing sensitive touches your systems, and the drop in no-shows is usually visible within the first month.
- We already use a booking platform. Do we have to leave it?
- No. If Fresha, Treatwell or ResDiary works for you, the website integrates with it — the job is making sure visitors actually reach the booking step. Custom booking only makes sense when platform fees or restrictions start genuinely hurting.
- How quickly can a salon or restaurant website go live?
- A booking-led site typically goes live in two to four weeks. Websites start from £1,500 fixed price, including mobile-first design and the booking integration.
