Our own software: Nodcab and Átrio
Most of our time goes on websites for small businesses. Alongside that, we're building two products of our own, each one for a kind of business that the big software companies tend to forget. Neither is open to everyone yet.
Nodcab: taxi booking by QR code for UK cab firms
Coming soon
Small cab firms lose jobs at closing time: the phone rings, nobody can answer it, and the customer calls someone else. Nodcab gives the firm a QR code for each pub, hotel or hospital they work with.
- The rider scans and books in the browser. No app to download, and the booking page is in the firm's own colours and logo.
- Every driver on shift gets an alert. The first one to tap “Give the nod” gets the job, so nothing is booked twice.
- The rider sees who's coming. The driver's name, the car and the plate appear on their screen, so they can wait inside until it arrives.
- Simple monthly prices. From £12 a month for a single driver, with no contract.
Where it's at: Nodcab is in a private pilot with UK cab firms and will open to everyone soon. If you run a cab firm and want to hear when it opens, send us a message.
Átrio: building management for Portugal
In development
In Portugal, apartment buildings are looked after by small management companies, often juggling dozens of buildings with email, paper and spreadsheets. Átrio puts every building in one place.
- A QR code in each entrance hall. A resident scans it and reports a problem with a photo. No app, no password.
- Everything for each building together. Problems, notices to residents and documents, in one place.
- Deadlines that don't get missed. Reminders for the legal deadlines each building has to meet.
Where it's at: Átrio is still being built and isn't available yet. If you manage buildings in Portugal and would like to try it early, get in touch.
Why a web studio builds its own products
Building and running our own software keeps us sharp. The same care goes into every client website: fast pages, things that work on any phone, and screens simple enough that nobody needs training.
It also means we can build bigger things for you. If your business has outgrown its spreadsheets, we build simple systems to replace them: online ordering for your trade customers, stock, production planning and screens that show how the day is going. We've built exactly these for a UK food manufacturer, where they run the day-to-day.
