# Urthly Apps

> Apps people open instantly, plus managed websites for businesses, venues and organisers.

Urthly Apps is the business-facing studio for Urthly's digital work. Its flagship offer is custom apps people open instantly: link-based guest guides, menus, maps and live tools for weddings, restaurants, markets, parades, races, group trips, corporate events and other real-world moments.

These apps are built and hosted on Shippie, Urthly's own open-source app platform. Clients do not need to understand the platform to buy the service. They buy a working digital experience that opens in Safari, Chrome or any modern browser from a URL or QR code.

## Flagship Offer: Instant Apps

Urthly Apps creates custom apps for:

- Weddings and private parties
- Restaurants, venues and digital menus
- Markets, festivals and community events
- Parades and large public events
- Races, sports days and club events
- Group trips, retreats and hosted weekends
- Corporate away days, conferences and product launches

Typical features include QR/private-link access, live schedules, maps, routes, venue details, menus, table plans, vendor lists, photo collection, song or message requests, votes, emergency contacts, visitor information, offline-ready content where useful and QR handoff assets.

## Demo Apps

## Pricing

- One-off event apps: from £499
- Recurring venue, restaurant or market apps: setup fee plus a monthly cost
- Corporate and custom apps: quoted against the brief
- Managed websites: priced separately as a secondary service

## Managed Websites

Managed websites remain available as a secondary offer for businesses that need a durable online presence rather than a temporary or event-specific app.

Managed website work can include:

- Custom website design and build
- Hosting, SSL, CDN and technical management
- SEO foundations, sitemap and metadata setup
- Analytics and conversion tracking
- Contact forms, bookings, enquiries and customer flows
- Cookie consent, privacy, terms and accessibility pages
- Ongoing update requests and technical fixes

## Positioning

Choose an instant app when people have a date, place and reason to do something on their phone.

Choose a managed website when the business needs permanent search visibility, service pages, domains, analytics, forms and ongoing improvements.

## How It Works

1. **Brief**: The client sends the event type, date, audience and required content.
2. **Template fit**: Urthly Apps selects the closest proven demo or template.
3. **Preview link**: Urthly Apps builds the app and sends a private preview link.
4. **Revisions**: The client reviews the real app on their own phone and sends changes.
5. **Live QR assets**: The app is hosted on Shippie and handed off as a live link plus print-ready QR assets.
6. **Manage**: One-off apps can avoid a heavy portal. Recurring venues, markets and restaurants can get a lean console for updates, analytics, QR assets and invoices.
