What I set up for studios for hire

I build it myselfWe test it together
Amin

I'm Amin. I live in Amsterdam, I come from tech, and I build these tools myself. For over four years I have run my own language platform, DailyNata, and I built its sign-ups, payments and reports.

Email me to go through it togetherMore about me

  1. 1We go through it together, at your studio in Amsterdam or on a short call.
  2. 2You get a fixed price in writing before I build anything.
  3. 3I build it, we test it with real bookings, and every account stays in your name.

Rooms getting booked

A band wants a room on Thursday night. They email, wait a day for an answer, and book somewhere with an online calendar.

People book a room in a few clicks, at any hour.

  • People book and pay online, connected to the calendar you already use.
  • A reminder goes out before each session, so fewer people fail to turn up.
  • Questions get a ready reply that you approve with one tap.

Regulars coming back

A regular band books week after week by message, and one week they just stop.

We make it easy for regulars to keep booking, and we reach out to the ones who stopped.

  • Regulars book their weekly slot once, and it repeats.
  • A short feedback form goes out now and then, so you hear what regulars think.
  • A friendly message invites clients who stopped back.

Payments and numbers in one place

Bookings and income per room are in the calendar, the bank and a spreadsheet, and the empty hours only show up at the end of the month.

I connect the tools you have, so the numbers come to you.

  • One screen shows bookings and income per room, and it updates itself.
  • We work out what an hour really costs, so you can decide the price.
  • We look at which hours and months stay empty, and plan for them.

How it works

After we go through it, you get a proposal with a fixed price, before you decide anything. It depends on how much there is to build and on what you already have in place. I build it myself, we test it together as it takes shape, and I keep working until it runs the way we agreed.

A first step, for example: online booking for one room, connected to your calendar and tested with real bookings. Every account stays in your name, and afterwards you run it without me. If something breaks in the first month after handover, I fix it as part of the price. When it is finished, you get a short guide in plain words on how it works. If you prefer to be shown, I walk you and whoever helps you through it, in person or on a call.

We work in English, and what I build is in your language.

We sat down and Amin walked me through the ways we could automate our admin. He knows the technology well and answered all my questions.

Would you like to go through it together?

Reply to my email, or write to amin@onwardsteps.com. In Amsterdam I come by your studio, and anywhere else we talk on a short call. The first conversation costs nothing.
