Five business apps, built by hand, running on this page
Anyone can promise "custom features." Here they are, working, in your browser: a booking scheduler that writes a real calendar file, an invoice generator, a printable menu editor, a review-request writer and a photo gallery. No accounts, no plugins, no monthly app fee — every one of them is plain hand-written code, and every one of them can live on your website, styled like your business.
1 · Booking-request scheduler
The call-killer. Customers pick a day and a time, you get a text with everything you need, and they get a calendar file so they don't forget. Booked slots stay booked on every visit.

The calendar file it writes (real .ics — open in any calendar app)
2 · Invoice generator
Type what you did, what it cost, and what's already been paid. The maths, the tax and the balance update as you type — then print it or text the summary to the customer.
Invoice builder

Plain-text version (paste into a text or an email)
4 · Review-request writer
Reviews are how a small business gets found. This writes the ask for you — a text that fits in one message, an email that doesn't sound like a robot, and a thank-you card you can print. Paste a list of names for a whole week's worth at once.

5 · Photo gallery with lightbox
The thing every shop says it wants and every template gets wrong: photos that load fast on a phone, open full-size on a tap, and can be swiped or arrow-keyed through. These are real screenshots of sites built earlier in this shop.

Questions about these
Can I have one of these on my own website?
Yes — that's the point of the page. Each one is a real component: booking requests with a calendar file, invoicing, printable menus, review requests, galleries. They'd be restyled to match your site and wired to your real hours, prices and review link, then quoted as one flat job.
Do these send my customers' details to a server?
No. Everything here runs inside your own browser. Texts and emails open in your own apps, the calendar file downloads to your device, and nothing is stored anywhere but your screen. There's no account and no monthly app fee behind any of it.
What would something like this cost?
Custom features are priced on a call: the price moves with what the app needs to connect to, and you get one flat number in writing, approved before I start, paid on completion. See the custom software page for how a job like that gets scoped.
Why does the page background change with my weather?
Because it can, and because it's the same kind of hand-written touch your site could have: the background on this site draws your actual local weather — rain streaks when it's raining on you, stars at night. It's a few hundred lines of plain JavaScript, not a plugin, and it never asks for your address.
