Online Booking Systems for Irish Businesses
If customers can only book by ringing you during opening hours, you're losing the ones who plan their evenings, weekends and holidays after you've gone home. We add booking systems to websites so your business takes bookings around the clock.
Whether you run a B&B, a salon, a therapy practice, an activity business or a restaurant, an online booking system fills your calendar while you get on with the work. Automatic confirmations, fewer no-shows, and no more double bookings from the paper diary. Part of our Booking & Commerce package, designed locally in Kerry.

Problems businesses face without online booking
Phone-only booking loses after-hours customers
Most people plan their appointments and stays in the evening, long after you've stopped answering the phone. If they can't book there and then, plenty of them will book with someone who lets them.
No-shows are eating into your takings
An empty chair, table or room you were expecting to fill is money gone. Automatic confirmations and reminders make bookings feel real to customers, and no-shows drop noticeably once they're in place.
Double bookings from the paper diary
One diary at the desk, a scribbled note by the phone, and suddenly two customers arrive for the same slot. A single online calendar keeps every booking in one place, so it can't happen.
Customers now expect to book online
People book flights, cinema tickets and takeaways from their phones without a second thought. When your business asks them to ring during office hours instead, it feels like a step backwards.
What we build
A booking system that runs itself
Every booking system we set up comes with these features as standard. No upsells, no extras.
Bookings around the clock
Your website takes bookings while you sleep, on Sundays, on bank holidays. Customers pick a time that suits them, whenever the thought strikes, and the booking is waiting for you in the morning.
Automatic confirmations
Every booking triggers an instant confirmation to the customer and a notification to you. No phone tag, no "did my booking go through?" calls, and far fewer no-shows.
A calendar you control
Set your own opening hours, block out holidays, and adjust availability whenever you like. You decide what can be booked and when, and the system enforces it for you.
Deposits or payments where needed
Want to take a deposit for a treatment, a room, or a big group? We can set up secure deposits or full payments at the time of booking, which cuts no-shows even further.
Works perfectly on mobile
Most bookings happen on a phone. The whole process, from picking a slot to confirmation, is designed for small screens first, so nobody gives up halfway through.
We train you to run it
Before launch we sit down with you and go through everything, from checking the day's bookings to changing your availability. You'll be comfortable running it yourself from day one.
Simple pricing
Booking built into the whole website
Direct booking is part of our Booking & Commerce package, priced on our pricing page. No monthly booking fees from us, and no commission on your bookings.
Booking systems are especially popular with the B&Bs, salons and therapists we build websites for here in Kerry, but they work just as well for activity providers and restaurants.

Tommy was helpful in designing my first website. I didn't know what to expect. Tommy got a sense of what work I do and tailored colour schemes and the overall design that is easily accessible for people who want to know about the services I offer. Thanks Tommy.

We had a fantastic experience working with Tommy from start to finish. He really took the time to understand our business, our values and what we wanted the website to achieve. The communication was clear and timely throughout the whole process and nothing ever felt rushed or overlooked. Any tweaks or changes we requested were handled quickly, and we are delighted with the end result. I would highly recommend Tommy to anyone.

Absolute pleasure doing business with Tommy. I've been working with him for a few years now. I'm a visual artist so the back end of a website is not my forté. I would highly recommend Tommy for value for money. Easy communication style, quick response and how great my website looks. It's a work in progress and, as always, I'm willing to take his expert advice.

FAQs
Online booking systems, common questions
How much does an online booking system cost?
Direct booking is part of our Booking & Commerce package, which covers the whole website as well as the booking engine. There are no monthly booking fees from us and no commission on your bookings. You get a fixed written quote before any work starts, and that is the price you pay. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices. VAT is set out clearly on every quote.
What kinds of businesses do booking systems suit?
Any business that runs on appointments or reservations. We build booking systems for B&Bs and guesthouses, salons and barbers, therapists and clinics, activity providers, and restaurants taking table reservations. If customers currently ring you to book, a booking system will suit you.
Can you add a booking system to my existing website?
Booking & Commerce covers a booking system built into a website we make for you. If you already have a site, get in touch anyway. Often the best answer is a rebuild with bookings designed in from the start, and we'll give you an honest opinion either way, with no obligation.
Can I take deposits or payments when someone books?
Yes. Where it makes sense for your business we set up secure deposits or full payment at the time of booking. It's one of the most effective ways to cut no-shows, because customers with money down almost always turn up.
Who will I be dealing with?
You deal directly with Tommy from start to finish. No account managers, no outsourcing. Design My Website is based right here in Kerry, and the first consultation is free with no obligation and no sales pressure.
What happens after my booking system goes live?
We train you to run it before launch. The first 60 days after launch are included with every build. After that you can move onto a maintenance plan, where we look after updates, backups and security for a simple monthly fee, so bookings keep flowing in without you worrying about the technical side.
