No upfront payment term

Booking marketplaces can fill your calendar, but they take a large slice of every sale. GetYourGuide and Viator typically charge suppliers around 20 to 30 per cent. On £50,000 of bookings, that can mean roughly £10,000 to £15,000 paid away before your venue covers staffing, rent and equipment.

Your own website gives customers another way to book. It lets you explain the experience properly, show availability, collect payment and build a relationship with the group organiser. You can still use GetYourGuide, Viator or other channels. The aim is to move more demand onto a channel you control.

The problem

What is costing Axe Throwing & Social Venues work right now

Commission eats your booking income

A venue selling £50,000 through marketplaces may pay around £10,000 to £15,000 in commission when rates sit around 20 to 30 per cent. That money could fund marketing, staffing or venue improvements.

Your booking page feels disconnected

People find your venue on Google, then land on a thin page with unclear packages or a separate booking link. They cannot see the full experience, understand the rules or feel confident before paying.

Group enquiries take too long

Stag groups, hens and corporate organisers need different answers. If every enquiry arrives with missing dates, numbers and package details, your team spends valuable time chasing information before giving a price.

The result

What changes once it is live

More bookings come direct

Customers can find your venue, understand the activity, check availability and pay through your own website. Marketplaces remain useful, but they no longer need to carry all your demand.

You keep customer relationships

The group organiser books with you, not only with a marketplace. You can answer questions, send useful updates, encourage repeat visits and promote gift vouchers or future events.

Enquiries arrive ready to price

Your forms collect dates, group sizes, occasion details and package preferences. Your team can respond with a relevant quote instead of sending several messages to discover the basics.

01

Your website becomes the hub of every booking channel

Your website should bring together every way people find and book your venue. Marketplace listings can introduce your experience, while Google searches, social posts, repeat customers and paid adverts send people to a place you own. The site explains your sessions, prices, age rules, waivers, food options and private hire packages before someone reaches your booking screen.

We build around the reservation system already running your lanes, sessions or activities. Customers can see availability, choose a time, pay a deposit or pay in full. Your team keeps using familiar tools. The website handles the selling while you run the venue, brief instructors, reset lanes and look after groups.

For an axe throwing venue, that means clear routes for different types of booking.

Private groups and celebrations

Stag and hen packages

Corporate team events

Walk-in and casual sessions

Gift vouchers and seasonal offers

02

Local search puts your venue in front of ready buyers

People search for things such as axe throwing near Newcastle, team activities in Sunderland or hen party ideas in Durham. They often want a date, a price and a place to book. We build pages around those real searches, so your venue has a better chance of showing up when people are ready to choose.

We also improve your Google Business Profile, the business listing that appears in Google Search and Maps. It needs the right categories, opening times, services, photos, booking link and location details. We connect it to useful pages on your website, rather than sending every visitor to one generic homepage.

Your website can target the places and occasions that matter to you.

More detail

More on websites for axe throwing & social venues

The rest of what axe throwing & social venues ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.

A message saying "How much for a party?" gives your team work without enough information to price it quickly. We create forms that ask the useful questions first. They can capture the preferred date, group size, occasion, age range, package choice, food needs and any important access requirements.

The details arrive in a clear format, so you can reply with the right package instead of starting a long back-and-forth. A corporate organiser may need an invoice and private room. A stag group may need a package, food and a firm start time. A family group may need age guidance and safety information.

Your quote and contact forms can include:

Date and time preferences

Number of guests and group type

Package and food choices

Budget and invoice details

Questions about access or safety

A first-time customer cannot judge your instructors, lanes or atmosphere from the street. Reviews help them decide whether your venue is well organised, welcoming and worth the money. They also help people compare you with other activities when several venues appear in the same search.

We set up a simple follow-up process after each booking. Customers receive a prompt while the experience is still fresh. The message can point happy customers towards Google, while giving unhappy customers a private route to tell you what went wrong. That gives you useful feedback without waiting for a complaint to arrive publicly.

Your website can also show proof in the places where it matters most. We can add customer comments, venue photos, safety information, group images and answers to common objections. A strong page helps an organiser feel confident before asking ten friends to commit to a date.

Calls often arrive when instructors are explaining safety rules, the bar is busy or a group is checking in. Missed calls can mean lost bookings, especially when someone is comparing venues and wants an answer now. Our AI Receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, so callers are not left wondering whether you are open.

It takes the useful details, such as the preferred date, group size, event type and booking question. It can sort urgency and text the information to you immediately. Your team can then call back with the right answer, rather than trying to remember a number from a missed call.

The AI Receptionist costs £169 a month. Website Care and the receptionist together cost £199 a month, saving £29. It does not replace your team. It makes sure enquiries are captured when your team cannot answer, including evenings and busy weekends.

Some dates need more help than others. January can bring new-year activity searches. Spring and summer can bring stag, hen and group bookings. Quiet weekdays may need a different offer from busy Saturday evenings. Google Ads lets you appear when people are actively searching for an activity and ready to check dates.

Our Google Ads Management costs £449 a month. We manage campaigns, bids, budgets, advert wording, unwanted searches and the pages people land on. Ad spend is paid directly to Google. We never add a mark-up. You receive a monthly reporting call that explains what happened in plain English.

We also track what happens after the click. That can show whether an advert led to a completed booking, a phone call, a quote request or a useful group enquiry. You can then make decisions based on real jobs, not just how many people saw an advert.

A new website needs regular attention if it is going to keep bringing in different types of customer. Our SEO and Content service costs £249 a month. It includes two useful pages or articles each month, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, trusted business listing work, position tracking and monthly reporting.

Content can cover the questions your team answers every week. It might explain what to wear, how waivers work, whether beginners are welcome, what happens during a session or how to plan a stag party. It can also target nearby towns and specific occasions, without filling your site with empty words.

You can add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. We plan, write and post content to Facebook and Instagram. You approve a month at a time. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and gives you weekly marketing tasks built around your venue, so you always know what to do next.

Direct Booking costs £2,495. It suits a venue that needs a credible booking website around its current system. It includes experience pages, booking routes, local search basics, payment guidance and clear calls to book. Booking Growth costs £3,995 and is the option most operators should take when direct bookings are a serious priority.

Booking Growth gives more room for group packages, location pages, campaign landing pages, review generation and tracking. It is built to shift demand away from marketplaces and onto your own website. Tourism Pro starts from £5,995 for operators with real inventory, several experiences or more complex operational needs. Bespoke platforms are quoted separately from £10,000.

Every client needs Website Care at £59 a month. It includes hosting, security protection, daily backups, software updates, uptime checks, up to 30 minutes of content changes each month and email support. If you want to start without the upfront build cost, the no upfront option is £199 a month over 24 months, with no setup fee. It includes a template site for your trade, hosting, care and the AI receptionist.

The honest comparison

Why do some websites cost £199?

It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.

If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.

Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.

Who writes the words

A £199 builder site

You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.

A Look North website

We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.

Whether it shows up on Google

A £199 builder site

It will rank for your business name. Not much else.

A Look North website

A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.

What happens to an enquiry

A £199 builder site

A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.

A Look North website

Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.

When the phone rings and you are on a job

A £199 builder site

It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.

A Look North website

Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.

Knowing what is working

A £199 builder site

A visitor counter, if that.

A Look North website

Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.

Getting reviews

A £199 builder site

You remember to ask, sometimes.

A Look North website

Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.

What happens after launch

A £199 builder site

Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.

A Look North website

The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.

Who owns it

A £199 builder site

The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.

A Look North website

You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.

Speed on a phone

A £199 builder site

Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.

A Look North website

Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.

When something breaks

A £199 builder site

A help centre article and a support queue.

A Look North website

Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.

We have a £199 a month option too. It is not the same thing.

If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.

£199 a month

24 month term, nothing upfront

Start with no upfront cost

What the difference buys

What you actually get for the difference

Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.

01

Every call answered

A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.

02

Found for the work you want

One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.

03

Enquiries you can price

Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.

04

Proof that compounds

A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.

05

Words written for you

Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.

06

Proof of what paid off

Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.

07

A plan for after launch

The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.

08

You own the lot

Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.

If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.

FAQ

Axe Throwing & Social Venues ask us these most

Price, timescales and ownership, answered for a axe throwing venue.

Direct Booking costs £2,495. It is for venues that need a strong website around their existing booking system. Booking Growth costs £3,995 and is the option most operators should take when moving marketplace demand direct matters. Tourism Pro starts from £5,995 for more complex operators. Bespoke platforms are quoted separately from £10,000. All prices exclude VAT. Website Care is required at £59 a month.
The timing depends on how quickly we receive your content, booking access, prices, images and feedback. A straightforward direct booking website can move quickly once those items are ready. We agree the plan before work starts and keep you updated through the build. If you need several experiences, locations, packages or special booking rules, allow more time for checking everything properly.
Website Care keeps the site running after launch. It includes hosting, security monitoring, daily backups, software updates, uptime monitoring, email support and up to 30 minutes of content changes each month. Booking websites depend on software, payments and outside booking systems. Regular care reduces avoidable problems and gives you someone to contact when the site needs an update.
Yes. We build the website around the booking system you already use, rather than forcing you to change it. We integrate systems such as Bokun, FareHarbor, Rezdy, Checkfront, Bookeo and Freetobook. The exact connection depends on your account and the features you need. We can review your current setup before recommending the right build.
No, not unless you want us to. Most operators already have a system managing availability, payments and bookings. We connect a better selling website to that system. This means your team can keep using familiar tools while customers get clearer experience pages, stronger booking routes and more useful information about lanes, sessions, waivers and group events.
The website can explain your lane setup, session lengths, group limits, safety rules and waiver process clearly. The booking engine remains responsible for the live booking rules where appropriate. We make the route easy to follow, so customers know what they are booking and what they need to complete before arriving. We review your current process before building.
Yes. We can create separate pages and enquiry routes for stag groups, hen parties, corporate events, birthdays and private hire. Each route can explain what is included, the likely group size, food or drink options, timings and next steps. Larger bookings can use a detailed quote form, while straightforward sessions can go straight to live availability and payment.
The website can send customers through the payment options supported by your booking system. That may include deposits, full payment, gift vouchers or other booking rules. We do not invent payment features that your system cannot support. We check the current setup first, then build the clearest route for customers and your staff.
The AI Receptionist answers calls 24/7 in your business name. It takes details such as the caller's preferred date, group size, event type and question. It can sort urgency and text the information to you immediately. It costs £169 a month, or £199 a month with Website Care. It helps capture missed enquiries, but your team still handles the final booking and personal follow-up.
Google Ads Management costs £449 a month. This covers campaign management, budget and bid changes, advert testing, unwanted search control, landing page improvements and a monthly reporting call. Your advertising spend is billed separately by Google and goes directly to Google. We never mark it up. Tracking helps show which clicks led to calls, enquiries and bookings where the systems allow.
Yes. The no upfront option costs £199 a month over a 24 month term, with no setup fee. It includes a template site built for your trade, hosting, Website Care and the AI Receptionist. This option suits a business that wants to start now without the full upfront cost. It is not the same as a fully bespoke build or a complex booking platform.
You own the website and the business content created for your venue. We build and support it, but the site is not a marketplace listing that controls your customer relationship. We can explain the practical arrangements for hosting, software and any third-party booking system before you sign, so you know what is included and what each supplier controls.
Monthly services need time to be set up, managed and reviewed properly. The minimum term is 12 months for ongoing modules, then billing continues monthly. This applies to services such as Website Care, search content, advertising management and the AI Receptionist. Modules can be added at any time. Build payments are 50 per cent on signature and 50 per cent on launch.
Yes. We can create pages and campaigns for weekday activities, local residents, corporate groups, school events or seasonal offers. Google Ads can target searches when you are ready to buy leads. Ongoing content can build useful local pages over time. We will not promise a fixed number of bookings, but we can make the demand, offer and next step clearer.
Yes. Newcastle upon Tyne and the North East are our home patch. We work with businesses across the UK, including venues in Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth. Location pages and booking routes can be planned around the places your visitors actually travel from.
