A magical booking website
A welcoming, fully branded website that feels special on a phone, tablet or computer. Visitors can explore your Santa experiences, see examples and book easily.
For Rory, from Ash at FTOS Studio
Your very own online Santa experience. Personal videos, unforgettable live calls and a simple way for families to book — all wrapped up in one magical little platform.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM
Father Christmas
THE BIG IDEA
Rory, what stood out in our conversation wasn't the technology. It was how much you love being Santa — the real beard, the costume, the conversations, and seeing children's faces light up.
That's what we'll build around. Not just a website, but a little bit of the North Pole that parents can visit to arrange something truly personal.
You focus on the magic. We'll make the booking, payment and delivery side simple.
It's about creating the most magical experience possible.
A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK
A simple customer journey with two lovely experiences to choose from. Switch between them to see how we'll position them on the website.
Parents tell Santa the little things that matter — a pet's name, a recent achievement, or something they're excited about. Rory turns that into a personal video or a live conversation they'll remember.
STRAIGHT FROM THE NORTH POLE
A little Christmas magic, made just for your child.
Try the parent booking flow on desktop or mobile, revisit a saved Santa video, and explore the reminders Rory could send before a call and next Christmas.
The Toybox demonstrates a possible look and feel; the final website will be tailored to Rory's images, branding and agreed functionality.
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
One beautiful, mobile-friendly website with the booking, payments and management tools behind it. No need to stitch lots of different systems together.
A welcoming, fully branded website that feels special on a phone, tablet or computer. Visitors can explore your Santa experiences, see examples and book easily.
Parents provide the special details. You record and upload a message, then deliver it securely into their own area where they can return to watch it again.
Set the days and times you are available. Families pick and pay for a slot, then you call them using a dedicated WhatsApp Business number.
Stripe checkout handles payments when customers book, with clear confirmations and order status information.
Your private dashboard to manage orders, view parent notes, deliver videos and set availability, pricing and turnaround times. The Toybox also explores optional automated messages.
Parents make the bookings, children's details are handled with care, and finished videos have controlled access rather than being published openly.
Making the videos look the part. We'll help you choose a straightforward recording/editing workflow for festive backgrounds and clearer sound. We'll use a suitable existing editing tool rather than build a video editor from scratch.
BEHIND THE SCENES
No spreadsheets, scraps of paper or chasing bookings. You'll have one private place to see what's happening and manage the day.
See orders and their payment status
Read the notes from parents
Upload completed videos securely
Manage available call slots
Adjust prices and turnaround times
A concept of how your private dashboard could feel — not an active system.
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
The whole journey is designed to be simple from the first click to the final Christmas wish.
A parent picks a personalised video or a live call and adds the special details.
Stripe checkout takes payment and confirms the order or chosen time slot.
Record and upload the message, or call the family at their booked time.
They enjoy the experience and can share your site with friends and family.
YOUR INVESTMENT
Rather than charging separately for a website, an app, a booking system and a dashboard, we'll bring the whole thing together for one straightforward price.
The complete customer experience and private management system — designed, built, configured and ready to test.
One fixed fee covering November & December 2026 together — not £257 per month.
Any domain, hosting, storage, payment processing and third-party messaging charges are separate and will be agreed before launch. Automated WhatsApp integration is illustrated in the Toybox but is subject to final technical scoping, provider approval and agreed pricing; it is not assumed to be included in the fixed build fee. Significant additional features would be quoted separately.
BUILT FOR MORE THAN ONE CHRISTMAS
We don't want you paying for full ongoing support during the months when you're not taking Christmas bookings.
From January to October, the site can stay published and ready to receive enquiries, provided the basic hosting, domain and storage services remain active.
There won't be a compulsory monthly FTOS support retainer. Any unavoidable running charges will be agreed separately, and we'll quote any off-season technical work before carrying it out.
Before the 2027 season, we can review the site together, reopen bookings and agree any updates or support you want for that Christmas.
THE PLAN
Once we've agreed the final details and you've sent your Santa photos and an example video, we can get moving.
Confirm the final scope, prices, availability and what your customers need to provide.
We create the festive site, booking flow, payments and your private Santa dashboard.
Test the experience together and practise creating and delivering a sample message.
Aim for an early-November launch, subject to final scope, content and payment setup.
GOOD TO KNOW
The idea is to make this easy, both during the Christmas rush and the rest of the year.
The Toybox demonstrates five-minute pre-call reminders, video delivery notifications and an optional next-year rebooking message. We can explore connecting those to email or the WhatsApp Business Platform. For WhatsApp, we would agree the provider, customer opt-in, approved templates and any setup or messaging fees before implementation. The demo does not send messages.
FROM ASH, TO RORY
I think this could be a lovely little Christmas business. Let's get together, make sure everything feels right, and bring your idea to life.
