Integrations
Your site, plus the tools that run your business.
The £45/month UK Web Marketing subscription covers your website. The matching operational tools — ordering for a takeaway, bookings for a clinic, stock for a car dealer, ticketing for an event — are built by my sister company TicketWave HQ and plug straight into your UK Web Marketing site. Same developer, separate billing, no third-party redirect, no rebuild.
The model
One developer, two subscriptions, zero rebuild.
- You start the £45/mo UK Web Marketing subscription. I build your website with the matching tools' hook ready in advance (even if you don't activate them on day one). Free first month, cancel any time.
- The website is yours, on your domain, from day one. It works as a brochure / lead-magnet / SEO surface even with no module activated. Most clients run this way for weeks before deciding which module they actually want.
- When you're ready to activate the tools, you sign up to TicketWave HQ's subscription for that module (their own pricing, separately billed via TicketWave HQ's own Stripe). I wire it into your site the same day — it lives inside your domain, looks like part of your site, settles payments straight to your account.
- Two clean monthly bills: £45 to UK Web Marketing for the website + TicketWave HQ's monthly for the module. One developer (me) behind both. You're not paying a UK Web Marketing markup on the tools — TicketWave HQ bills you direct at their own published prices.
The modules
Four operational tools that slot into your UK Web Marketing site.
Each module replaces a third-party platform that's quietly costing you 3–30% of every transaction. Click through for the full breakdown of what each one does, what it replaces, and what the maths looks like.

See how it plugs in →Anatomy of a typical transaction
What happens when a customer orders / books / buys.
The honest summary of every TicketWave HQ module's transaction: customer interacts with your UK Web Marketing site → Stripe takes payment → money lands in your account → email + (optional) SMS confirmation to both sides → fulfilment. No third-party platform sees the customer; no platform takes a cut. The only fee is Stripe's standard 1.5% + 20p (UK cards), same as any other modern checkout.
- 1 Customer lands on your UK Web Marketing site — your domain, your branding, your URL in their address bar. The module looks like part of your site.
- 2 Customer interacts with the module — adds items to a basket, picks a booking slot, configures a finance enquiry, buys a ticket.
- 3 Stripe Checkout (or embedded card flow) takes the card. Your business is the merchant of record — funds land in your Stripe account, not the platform's.
- 4 Confirmation email to the customer + notification to you (email, SMS or both, depending on the module). The customer's contact details land in your CRM (also yours — exportable any time).
- 5 You fulfil it — cook the order, host the appointment, sell the car, scan the ticket at the door. The platform's job is done.
Data ownership — non-negotiable
Your customer list is yours. Your reviews are yours. Your transactions are yours.
- Customers belong to you, not the platform. Every name, email, phone number, order history lives in your TicketWave HQ account — fully exportable as CSV any time. If you ever leave, you take them with you.
- Reviews live on your domain. Not on a third-party platform that can de-platform you. SEO benefit accrues to your site, not Just Eat's.
- Stripe funds settle to your account. The platform never holds your money. No 7-day "platform settlement", no rolling reserve, no "we're holding £X for risk".
- No platform-side commissions. The only fee on a transaction is Stripe's (1.5% + 20p UK, lower on volume). TicketWave HQ takes its subscription monthly, then takes nothing per transaction.
- You're not locked in. Cancel the TicketWave HQ subscription and the module goes offline; the customer list comes with you as an export. The UK Web Marketing site keeps running (just without the module).
Why two businesses, one builder
Honest answer: clean accounting and clearer pricing.
When I first launched UK Web Marketing I tried to bundle ordering and bookings into the website service. It got messy fast — different industries needed different modules, the build cost varied wildly, and the customer ended up paying for plumbing they couldn't see. Worst of both worlds: hidden cost, opaque value.
So I separated the two. UK Web Marketing is what you pay for the website itself — design, build, hosting, support, the lot at one honest monthly price. TicketWave HQ is what you pay (if you choose) for the operational tools on top. Same person builds both; two clean Stripe lines on your bank statement; you can see exactly what you're paying for and cancel either independently. You're never paying me a markup on TicketWave HQ — it's TicketWave HQ's own subscription at TicketWave HQ's own price.
If you want one of the modules now, WhatsApp me. If you want the website first and the tools later, that's the default path — I build the website with the integration hook ready, and you activate the module when you want it (anything from week 1 to year 3).
Questions people actually ask
FAQ.
Do I have to take a TicketWave HQ module to get a UK Web Marketing site?
No. The £45/mo UK Web Marketing subscription is a complete website on its own — many clients run for months or years with just the site and add a TicketWave HQ module later (or never). The integration hook is built in either way, so there's nothing to rebuild if you decide to switch one on.
How much does a TicketWave HQ module cost?
That's on TicketWave HQ to publish — pricing varies by module and is set independently of UK Web Marketing. WhatsApp me with the module you're interested in and I'll send you the current TicketWave HQ pricing for it. (UK Web Marketing doesn't take a markup; you pay TicketWave HQ direct at their published price.)
Can I use a third-party platform (Fresha, Booksy, Just Eat) instead?
Yes — and a lot of clients do, especially when they're starting out. The UK Web Marketing site can link to any external booking/ordering platform you already use; I'll wire the buttons. The TicketWave HQ integrations are the option for when you're tired of paying the third-party commission and want your customer list back.
What if I want to leave?
The TicketWave HQ subscription cancels separately from UK Web Marketing. On cancel: the module goes offline; you keep your customer list (export it before you cancel, or I'll do it for you); the UK Web Marketing site keeps running with the module placeholder hidden. If you cancel UK Web Marketing too, the same rules apply as in the refund policy.
How does the integration actually work technically?
Three patterns depending on the module: API (your UK Web Marketing site server-fetches data from TicketWave HQ and renders it as native HTML — best for SEO, used for ordering and stock), web component (a small bit of JavaScript loads inside the page — used for bookings, where the calendar interface is interactive), iframe (sandboxed embed of the TicketWave HQ module — used for ticketing where the interface iterates fastest). In all three, the customer never leaves your domain. If any of those terms are new, the glossary has plain-English definitions.
Is this stable? Some of those modules sound new.
The ticketing module is the longest-lived — TicketWave the platform has been running Dubai Events 2026 and live UK events for some time. Ordering, bookings and stock are newer and rolling out to existing clients in stages. If you're an early adopter you'll get the founder-pricing on TicketWave HQ's side; I'll be straight about what's production-ready vs. what's in beta.
