Candid Camera, BoothZen & EventLayer

Our favourite kind of client relationship: it started with a website for a photo booth hire business, and grew into two full software platforms built from scratch. Three builds, one client, each one earning its keep.

The brief that kept growing

Candid Camera hires out photo booths, magic mirrors, selfie pods and audio guest books across Lancashire and the North West - weddings, parties, corporate events. The first job was the classic one: a website that turns "are you free on our date?" into a booking, at 11pm on a Tuesday, without anyone answering a phone. Prices up front, availability checks, and the client's own 5.0 Google rating doing the convincing.

Then the interesting thing happened. Running hundreds of events a year surfaces problems no off-the-shelf software solves properly - so we built the software. Twice.

Three builds

Why this matters if you're not in events

Because it shows the ceiling. Most clients need a website that brings the work in - that's the £29.99-a-month package, and it's most of what we build. But when a business outgrows off-the-shelf tools, we don't hand you to a software agency: booking systems, client portals, payment flows and platforms like these are work we do ourselves, quoted properly as custom projects. Start small; the ambition can come later.
