Take bookings round the clock, commission-free
We build custom online booking and automation into your own branded website. Clients book 24/7, reminders go out on their own, no-shows drop, and you never hand a marketplace a slice of every appointment.
In short
A Bee Viral booking system is custom online booking built into your own website, with automated reminders, deposits and cancellation handling. You own it and your client list outright, with no commission on appointments. The build is a one-time fee starting at £2,500, and any ongoing marketing support is optional.
Your own system vs a marketplace
Fresha, Treatwell and the rest are convenient, but you are renting access to your own clients. Here is the difference when you own the system instead.
| Marketplace | Your own system | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | Ongoing per-booking or new-client fees | One-time build, no booking commission |
| Your client list | Shared with the platform | Yours alone |
| Your branding | Their brand, your listing | 100% your brand |
| Competitors shown | Yes, alongside you | Never |
| Reminders & no-show tools | Limited or higher tiers | Built in as standard |
| Who owns the relationship | The marketplace | You |
