Event Apps
Do people need to download anything?
No. There is no app store and no download. People open a normal link or scan a QR code, and the app runs in Safari, Chrome or any modern browser.
What kinds of moments does this fit?
Weddings, private parties, restaurants, venues, markets, festivals, parades, races, group trips, retreats, corporate events and product launches are all good fits.
What can go inside an app?
Schedules, maps, routes, menus, table plans, vendor lists, photo collection, song requests, votes, guest messages, emergency contacts, live updates and QR handoff assets can all be scoped.
How quickly can you build one?
Simple guide-style apps can be turned around quickly once content is ready. Larger interactive apps or recurring venue tools are scoped before work begins.
What does an app cost?
One-off event apps start from £499. Recurring apps for venues, restaurants and markets are a setup fee plus a monthly cost. Corporate and custom builds are quoted against the brief. Managed websites are priced separately as a secondary service.
Can I try the demos?
Yes. The homepage links to seven live demos: wedding, restaurant, market, parade, race, corporate event guide and Crewtrip.
What is Shippie?
Shippie is Urthly's own open-source app platform. Urthly Apps is the client-facing studio that turns that platform into a practical service for businesses and organisers.
Will the app stay online after the event?
It can. One-off apps can remain available as a link after the event, and recurring apps for venues, markets or restaurants can continue with monthly updates.
Do I get a login or dashboard?
For a one-off event, no. You get a preview link, a round of revisions, then the live link and QR assets. Recurring venues, restaurants and markets can get a lean console for updates, analytics, QR codes and invoices.
Managed Websites
Are managed websites still available?
Yes. They are no longer the headline offer, but they remain available for businesses that need a permanent search-friendly site, hosting, analytics, forms and updates.
When should I choose a website instead of an app?
Choose a managed website when you need SEO, service pages, locations, long-term content, lead capture or a domain-based online presence. Choose an app when people have a date, place and reason to do something on their phone.
Do I keep ownership of my domain?
Yes. Your domain stays registered in your name. Urthly Apps can help with DNS and launch, but we do not need to own your domain.
What happens if I leave the managed website service?
After any minimum term, you can cancel monthly. We provide a content, image and SEO export so you can take your materials with you.
Can a client have both?
Yes. A venue, restaurant or event company might have a managed website for search and bookings, plus Shippie-powered apps for specific events, menus or guest experiences.
