Commission on your own customers
Somebody who lives two streets away orders through a national relay site and you pay a fifth of it for the privilege of doing all the work.
Foundation Who we build for Florists
A relay network takes a fifth of every order and owns the customer. Take the order on your own site and the whole thing is yours — the margin, the data and the repeat.
The bit that hurts
Relay networks solved a problem that stopped existing fifteen years ago, and florists are still paying twenty per cent for it.
Somebody who lives two streets away orders through a national relay site and you pay a fifth of it for the privilege of doing all the work.
Valentine's, Mother's Day and Christmas are most of the year's profit compressed into three windows, planned on a paper list.
Twenty drops across three towns with time windows, sequenced by a person at six in the morning who should be conditioning stems.
A consultation, a mood board, a proposal and then silence, because nobody sent the follow-up in a business where the decision takes months.
An example site
This example is a retail site with live stock, honest availability and an open-now badge from the real clock — the same structure a florist needs for a shop that sells fresh, finite things.
An example independent-retail site. Yours would be designed around your work, not recoloured from this one.
What we build for you
Three different businesses under one roof, and generic shop software handles none of them.
Your own checkout, your own margin, your own customer. Card message, delivery date and time window captured properly.
Drops ordered by geography and time window, on the driver's phone, rather than a list written at six in the morning.
A limit on how many Valentine's deliveries you will accept, enforced by the website, so you stop selling a day you cannot physically make.
Weekly or fortnightly flowers, billed automatically. It is the steadiest money in the trade and almost nobody sells it properly.
Enquiry, consultation, mood board, proposal, deposit and the final schedule, tracked rather than living in an inbox.
Ordered by family or by a funeral director, with wording and timing captured carefully and confirmed.
How it goes
Florists start with their own ordering, because every order taken directly is a fifth you keep.
What you sell, your delivery area, and how much of your volume comes through relay.
Live, with your own checkout taking orders.
Delivery areas, windows and capacity caps for peak days.
Consultation tracking and recurring billing.
Sound like your week?
Tell us what eats it — you'll have a fixed price back today, usually within the hour.
Where we work
Flower search is local and occasion-driven. Every site gets pages for the towns you deliver to and the occasions people buy for.
On your doorstep
We're in Windlesham, and we'll come to you — a coffee and a whiteboard beats a video call. Anywhere within twenty miles, plus the whole of London.
And everywhere else
We build for florists across the UK. Rounds, capacity caps and subscriptions work identically everywhere.
What it costs
A florist's website starts at £250. Ordering, rounds and subscriptions are quoted free.
Or £220 up front and £19 a month — we host it, back it up nightly and keep the certificate valid. Compare both →
Get my priceNothing gets built until you've seen the price, and the price doesn't move afterwards. If it takes us longer than we thought, that's our problem, not your invoice.
Quick answers
From £250 built and handed over, or £220 up front plus £19 a month hosted and maintained. Ordering, rounds and subscriptions are quoted free.
For local orders, almost certainly. They take around a fifth and own the customer, and the problem they solved — ordering flowers in a town you are not in — is now solved by a search engine.
Yes, sequenced by geography and time window, on the driver's phone. It is the job currently done by hand at six in the morning by whoever is best at maps.
Capacity caps, enforced by the website. Selling more Valentine's deliveries than you can physically make is the fastest way to turn your best week into your worst reviews.
Yes, weekly or fortnightly, billed automatically. It is the steadiest money in floristry and it is almost universally under-sold.
Yes — enquiry, consultation, mood board, proposal, deposit and the final schedule. Wedding decisions take months and the enquiries that go cold are the ones nobody followed up.

Two fields and a tap. You'll hear back from a real person, usually today.
