Add features to a small business website without plugins: we build the tool the business needs
You can add features to a small business website without plugins: when a client needs a tool the site does not have, our in-house app development team builds it and we place it on the page. Four such tools are live on our demos today: a price estimator, an open-now sign, a coffee card and a monthly-payment calculator.
For you, that means you sell the result the owner asked for, with nothing to find, install or keep updated.
What changes for you and the owner
- Nothing to choose or install. Tell us what the business needs. If the site cannot already do it, we tell you whether we can build it and when, before anyone pays.
- Made for that business. Each tool carries the business's own details: its jobs and prices, its hours, its shop code.
- Almost everything is built in already. Store, booking, forms, blog, members area, phone app and SEO tools come with every site, so most clients need no extra tool at all.
Four tools live on our demos
| Tool | What the customer does | What we set when we build the site |
|---|---|---|
| Price your job | Ticks the jobs and sees a starting price at once; the list is kept for when they come back | The jobs and starting prices |
| Open now | Sees whether the shop is open right now, in the shop's own time zone | The opening hours and time zone |
| Coffee card | Collects stamps; the barista stamps it with the shop code | The shop code and the number of stamps |
| Pay over time | Picks a repair and a term and sees the monthly payment | The repairs and the rates |
Today we set each tool's details when we build the site; to change them later, the owner asks their webmaster. The coffee card is kept in the customer's browser on that phone.
When a big add-on store fits better
- A big app store offers far more ready-made add-ons, and a webmaster chooses what to install. Here we build what a client needs, so a tool that does not exist yet has to be built first.
- The tools are honest about their limits. The price tool shows starting prices, not quotes; the payment tool uses example rates, and real financing comes from the shop's lender; the coffee card lives in one browser.
Questions about adding features
How do I ask for a tool for my client?
Describe it in the work order's instructions box, or ask us first. We tell you whether we can build it and when.
Can the owner change a tool's details themselves?
Not yet. We set the details when we build the site; to change them later, the owner asks their webmaster.
Does a tool work on phones?
Yes. All four screenshots above were taken at phone size on the live demos.
Who builds the tools?
Our in-house app development team.
