Short answer: B63 designs and builds custom web platforms — booking systems, client and member portals, marketplaces, directories and internal tools — around how your business actually works. Each one is scoped with you and quoted per project, and it is separate from the €0 upfront, €150 per month website plan. The clearest proof of the work is Relivv, our own live platform.
This page is about platforms: software with users, logins and data. If what you need is a site that presents your business and brings in enquiries, that is a website, and it is usually quicker and cheaper. If you need a smaller tool or a CRM rather than a full platform, see custom web apps.
When you need a platform, not a website
A website mostly shows information. A platform lets people do things, usually behind a login. You probably need one when:
- People need accounts. Clients, members or partners should log in and see their own bookings, documents, orders or profile.
- A process lives in spreadsheets and email. Bookings, applications, approvals or stock are tracked by hand, and it no longer scales.
- No ready-made tool fits. Off-the-shelf software almost does the job but forces your business to work its way instead of yours.
- Two sides meet in one place. Buyers and sellers, hosts and guests, organisers and attendees — a marketplace or directory with search and profiles.
If a well-built website can do what you need, we will say so. When it can’t, a platform is the honest answer.
What a custom platform can be
Every platform is different. A few of the shapes they take:
- Booking and reservation systems — availability, calendars, confirmations and reminders, built around your rules rather than a generic plugin.
- Client and member portals — logins, personal areas, documents, subscriptions and messaging.
- Marketplaces and directories — listings, profiles, search and filtering, and a way for two sides to find each other.
- Internal tools and dashboards — one shared system that replaces spreadsheets, manual reports and long email threads.
- Event and community platforms — like Relivv, our own product: a live photo wall and guest album for events.
Our own platform: Relivv
Relivv is B63’s own custom platform — a live photo wall and guest album that guests at an event join, upload to and watch in real time. We designed it, built it and run it ourselves. It is the clearest example of the kind of platform work we do, and building and operating our own product means we understand platforms from the owner’s side, not only the developer’s.
How it works
- Tell us the problem. Describe what the platform should do, who will use it and any deadlines. Start on the contact page.
- Scoping. We work through users, features, data and what a first version needs to include — and, just as important, what it can leave for later.
- Quote. You get one clear quote for the agreed scope before any work starts.
- Design and build. B63 designs the screens and builds the platform in stages, with your feedback as working parts go live.
- Launch and grow. The platform goes live. Hosting, support and the next round of features are set out in the quote.
What it costs
Custom platforms are quoted per project — they are not part of the €0 upfront, €150 per month website plan, because the work varies so much from one to the next. The main things that move the price:
- the number and complexity of features
- how many types of user and permission level there are
- whether it connects to other systems, payments or services
- how much data it holds and how people search and filter it
- the number of screens and the level of design detail
Starting with a focused first version keeps the first quote smaller and lets real use guide what gets built next. A clear, agreed scope keeps the quote honest on both sides.
Platform, web app or website?

| Example | A business or shop site | A CRM or internal tool | A booking system, portal or marketplace |
| Price | €0 upfront, €150/month for 24 months | Quoted per project | Quoted per project |
| Timeline | Live 7–10 days after content | Agreed during scoping | Built in stages from a first version |
Not sure which you need? Start with a line about the problem on the contact page and we will tell you honestly which one fits — including when a plain website is enough.
