Compared with every other option out there, this is the most competitive price you'll find — see the real example below.
Marketplaces take a cut indefinitely. A direct booking through your own site costs a few pence in card fees, not a percentage.
Most guests start with a search engine, not social media. A website is what shows up when they're ready to book, day or night.
No account managers, no handoffs — you speak directly to the person writing the code, from first enquiry to launch and beyond.
Card, bank transfer or cash — however a guest pays, it lands in the same simple booking table. No juggling separate systems.
Manage it yourself for free whenever you like, or stay on the £20/month plan — either way, there's no long contract.
Three fixed tiers depending on the size of your site, paid once. After that, it's yours to manage for free, or I'll keep it hosted and supported for a flat £20/month.
Single-page website
2–8 page website
10+ page, larger operations
A small touring site open April–October (214 days), 5 pitches at £25/night, always half full — about 268 bookings and £13,375 in revenue a year, at a 2-night average stay.
This example assumes only a third of those bookings come through your own site in year one — the other two-thirds still book via Pitchup while the site builds its own visibility.
| Basis | Year 1 | Year 2+ |
|---|---|---|
| Blended cost with your own site | £1,842.17 | £1,662.17 |
| Cost if everything stayed on Pitchup | £2,006.25 | £2,006.25 |
Saved in year one, Standard tier build fee included
Saved every year after, once the build fee is behind you
Same booking numbers as above, but the full amount through one route at a time, instead of blended with Pitchup.
| Route | Year 1 | Year 2+ |
|---|---|---|
| Your own site — Ridings Digital | £674.23 | £494.23 |
| GemaPark booking system | From £780 + setup | From £780 |
GemaPark doesn't publish a fixed rate — it's quote-based, historically from around £65/month plus a setup fee, and it's a booking system to add to an existing site rather than a full website, so it's not quite like-for-like.
| Route | Year 1 | Year 2+ |
|---|---|---|
| Your own site — Ridings Digital | £674.23 | £494.23 |
| HolidayFox "Website in a Box" | £1,078.86 | £1,078.86 |
