Business in a box

Try every part of the business before you buy any of it.

Most software demos show you a homepage and a promise. This is the whole thing, live: the site a customer books on, the diary the owner runs, the jobs behind it, the invoices that get paid, and the writing that brings people back.

Five doors, one example business. The public website is open. The other four doors are invite-only sandboxes; request access to explore them.

01 · The front door

replaces A brochure site, a Wix page, or nothing

The website

What a customer sees: services with sample prices, a booking form, the story, the photos, and a price table with times rather than a vague "from".

Open the siteno login needed

02 · The diary

replaces Phorest, Fresha, a paper book

The staff room

The ledger behind the site: clients, services with durations, staff, retail stock with low-stock alerts, and appointments that move from new to booked to done.

03 · The paperwork

replaces FreshBooks, QuickBooks, a spreadsheet

Invoicing

Clients, quotes and invoices, recurring billing, and a payment record that matches the work. The third door, and the one that gets paid.

04 · The list

replaces Asana, Trello, a notebook

Tasks and jobs

Every job as a list that survives the week: intake, kickoff, assets, draft, review. Small enough to actually use, shareable with a client.

05 · The audience

replaces Substack, Medium, Mailchimp

Publishing

A journal and a newsletter you own: write a piece, send it to your list, keep the subscribers. No platform taking a cut of your audience.

How it becomes yours

1. You pick the parts your business actually needs. Not the full set by default.
2. You get your own copies, under your own logins, on your own domain or ours.
3. The parts talk to each other: a booking can become a job, a finished job can become an invoice.
4. The data is yours. Export it any time, take it elsewhere, delete it when you are done.

The honest bit

· Every demo uses invented business and customer data. The front site is public; the back-office examples require an invitation.
· These are demos of the software, not of your business yet. Yours starts from your service list.
· Payments in the demos are off. Card and direct debit are wired per customer, deliberately.
· Some parts need an account of your own (an email provider for the newsletter, a payments account for deposits). We tell you before you buy, not after.
