Try a booking website

This is Copper & Comb, a pretend barbershop with two barbers. It runs on a Freehold booking website, so it works just like yours would.

  1. Book yourself in. Clients only ever see times that are really free.
  2. Read the emails. Your client’s confirmation and reminder, and the new-booking email you get.
  3. Check the diary and the sheet. Your booking appears in the barber’s column and in your Google Sheet.
  4. Change a price or your hours on the sheet, then see your website update.

Nothing you book here is real, and no emails are sent.

Sites you can try

A barbershop that takes bookings, a café whose menu changes from a sheet, and a joiner whose site brings in quote requests. All three are made up, and all three work.

Every login
On one page

You own it

Your domain, hosting and Google account are in your name, with a one-page title deed listing every login.

No monthly fees

You pay once. There's never a cut of your bookings, and the care plan is optional.

A fixed price first

You get a fixed price before any work starts, and you see a website's design before you pay anything.

Looked after

30 days of free tweaks after launch, and free fixes if something I built ever stops working.

NextHow it works

How it works

  1. Chat

    Tell me about your business. I’ll come to you, or we can message.

  2. Preview

    You see your design before you pay anything.

  3. Build

    Websites are half up front. Booking websites are paid once your order’s confirmed, and are usually live within a week.

  4. Handover

    Hosting, domain and sheet go into your name, with a one-page title deed of every login.

NextYour exact price

Work out your price

Pick what you need and your estimate adds up as you go. Everything is paid for once.

What do you pay now?

If you pay monthly for a booking app or website builder, put it in to see how quickly Freehold pays for itself.

Later changes the sheet doesn’t cover are £30 each on websites. Photo updates on booking websites are £20 each without the care plan. Your only running cost is renewing your domain name once a year. Every site gets 30 days of free tweaks after launch, and if something I built stops working, I fix it free.

Questions

Do I have to pay every month?

No. You pay once. The only regular cost is renewing your domain name each year, plus the booking care plan if you choose it.

Who owns the website?

You do. Hosting, your domain and your Google Sheet are set up in your name, and I hand over every login.

Do you take a cut of my bookings?

No. Every penny your clients pay goes to you.

Can I change things myself?

Yes. Prices, hours, menus and notices are kept in a Google Sheet you can edit from your phone.

What do I need?

A free Google account, a few photos and your prices. I do the rest.

How long does it take?

Booking websites are usually live within a week of your order. Websites usually take two to three weeks, depending on how quickly we agree the design.

What if something breaks?

If something I built stops working, I fix it free. You also get 30 days of free tweaks after launch.

NextWho I am

Who’s behind Freehold

Freehold is me, Alfie Wedlake. I’m based in Stony Stratford and build websites and booking systems for local businesses, including the barbers and tattooists I work alongside.

You deal with me from the first chat to handover, and if anything needs sorting, I’m round the corner.
