Years of word of mouth and nothing to send people. Now one link does the selling — the work, the guarantee and a quote form that turns a passing look into a booked job. One of the five businesses we own.
A business built entirely on word of mouth, with no way to send a stranger anywhere. The site had to do what a referral does — prove the work, guarantee the result, and make the quote a single tap.

Nine of them on the work page, four of those our own companies.
A live configurator on the store: pick a finish, pick a colour, and the club on screen wears it. Ours.
A product page that does the entire sell: ingredients, science, verified reviews and the plan picker. Ours.
Years of word of mouth with nothing to send people. Now one link closes the job. Ours.

Yes. It is one of four businesses on this site that we own and run. The practical difference is that there was nobody to sign off a compromise: a page that did not earn its keep cost us the money directly, so it came off rather than staying on because it was already built.
Neither, and we would say so either way. The bookings run on the shop’s existing salon software, and the app in the App Store is that vendor’s. What we built is the site that feeds it: the barber pages, the match quiz, the live shop status, the shop and cart, and the routes into booking. Picking the tool that already works out is usually cheaper than replacing it.
Because a photograph is always of a moment that has passed, and the one thing a barbershop visitor wants to know is whether they can walk in now. The drawn room can be dark at six in the morning and lit at ten; a photo of a full shop is a small lie by lunchtime. It is also the one part of the site nobody else on the Gold Coast has.
That is the usual case, and it is the easier one — same bookings, same history, a new front end over the top. Rebuilds and rescues covers how that runs.
A monthly figure agreed before launch, not a surprise. Hosting and upkeep covers the platform, the updates and the small changes that turn up once real customers are using it.
