Websites that take the booking.
A venue website has one job: get a parent from an ad or a Google listing to a paid booking, on a phone, without a fight. I build them in WordPress, wired into the booking system you already run, and you own every page.
01
A WordPress site built around your booking flow, not around a template's idea of a business.
- Sold in
- Foundation build
- Timeline
- 4 to 6 weeks
- Billed
- Half to start, half on launch
- You own
- The domain, the site, the content
Everything between the click and your checkout.
I don't replace your point of sale. I fix the path in front of it, so the people your ads and your Google listing send actually finish the booking.
The build
A WordPress site on my venue template: home, about, a page for each attraction, pricing and contact. Designed for your venue, not a stock theme with your logo dropped in.
The booking funnel
The path from ad or search result to confirmed booking, rebuilt and wired into what you run: ROLLER, CenterEdge, FareHarbor, Aluvii, Gatemaster or Party Center.
The pages you're missing
Birthday parties, corporate and group events, school field trips, and leagues or memberships if you run them. Most venues I look at are missing at least two.
Built for a phone
Fast on cell data, a date picker that works with a thumb, and a deposit button that doesn't hide below the fold. Tested on a real mid-range phone before launch.
Tracking that counts bookings
GA4, the Meta pixel and conversion events tied to actual bookings rather than page views, so your ads get judged on deposits instead of clicks.
A clean handover
Your WordPress login, your domain, your content. Built to WCAG 2.1 AA, and I show a manager how to change hours and prices without emailing me.
The Foundation build also covers your Google profile, email authentication and the local SEO groundwork. Those have their own pages: Local SEO and Email and SMS.
Four visitors your site is losing right now.
A venue site isn't a brochure. It's a set of different people, each trying to do one thing, usually on a phone.
The free scan times your booking flow on a phone, so you see where people drop before we change anything.
A parent books at 9pm on a Tuesday.
She's on the couch with a phone, the party is next weekend, and she's comparing you to two other places. If your date picker doesn't work with a thumb, she books one of them.
Your ad lands on a slow page.
You paid for the click and then lost it to a heavy photo gallery on cell data. Speed isn't a technical nicety here. It's the difference between a booking and a bounce.
Someone wants to know what the party includes.
One page per package, with the real price, what's in it, how long the room is yours and what happens if a kid doesn't show. Vague pricing turns into phone calls your staff don't have time to answer.
A corporate buyer needs capacity and a quote.
Different visitor, different page: headcount, minimum spend, food options, invoicing. Most venue sites bury this under the birthday content and lose the highest-margin booking of the month.
A fixed price, set by how many locations you run.
The site is built in the Foundation project. Keeping the booking flow working after launch is part of the monthly retainer. Both prices are published, in Canadian dollars.
FoundationOne time
A 4 to 6 week build. Site, booking funnel, Google profile, tracking and email authentication, done once and done right.
Your website is built here.
One location$9,500
Two locations$14,500
Three locations$19,500
Half to start, half on launch. Skip it if your site already works.
Full CalendarMonthly
All four jobs, every month, starting the month after launch. Priced by your venue's annual revenue.
Booking funnel upkeep, testing and conversion work run here.
$1.5M to $2.5M revenueMinimum ad spend $1,000 a month$1,750
$2.5M to $5M revenueMinimum ad spend $2,000 a month$2,950
$5M+ or multi-siteMinimum ad spend $3,500 a month$4,500
Per month. Ad spend is paid straight to Google and Meta. Six-month first term, then month to month.
The build is priced by location, not by page count. A very large or complex existing site gets quoted on its own rather than forced into the fixed price.
What venue owners ask about a new site.
Do I have to change booking platforms?
No. I work with the system you already run and fix everything between the click and its checkout. If your platform genuinely can't do something you need, I'll tell you, but selling you a new one isn't part of this.
Why WordPress?
Because you own it outright and it isn't tied to me. A manager can change hours and prices in the editor, and if you ever stop working with me, any web developer in Canada can pick it up.
How long does a build take?
Four to six weeks. Most of that time is waiting on photos and package details, so the faster those land, the faster you launch.
Will my Google rankings drop when the new site goes live?
Rankings often wobble for a few weeks after any launch. I map every old address to its new page so nothing you've earned gets thrown away, and I tell you about the wobble before we go live so it isn't a surprise.
What won't a new website do?
It won't bring traffic by itself. It converts the traffic you already have and the traffic we go get later. It can't fix a booking platform that charges the wrong deposit, only route around it.
And it won't make a weak offer sell. If a party package is priced above the market with less in it, a faster page just gets you turned down faster.
