The displayed build price covers the package configuration, branding, included modules and stated custom-feature allowance. Costs only increase where additional integrations, modules, migration or out-of-scope development are requested and agreed in writing.

What is a custom feature? An agreed modification, workflow, form, report, portal element or automation of reasonable complexity, documented in your project specification before development begins. New third-party integrations, complex scheduling engines, mobile apps, major database restructuring and additional portals sit outside the included allowance and are quoted separately.

Standard option: a 12-month managed-service agreement, with the build fee paid in two stages (deposit and pre-launch balance).

No-upfront-build option: build and managed-service costs spread over 24 months, subject to a 24-month minimum agreement.

Try before you commit. Run a live trial with the standard system, using one of your real bookings, courses or activities, before committing to a full build.
