Theatre Deli × WebWisp
A website that puts more money back in artists' hands.
A tailored, mobile-first site and a proper booking system — for a fraction of what you pay today. Every pound saved is a pound that goes to the work.
Chapter 01 Where you are today
A charity paying enterprise prices for tools it never uses.
Your Access UK platform costs around £5,000 a year — and most of that pays for donor-management and CRM features Theatre Deli doesn't touch. There's no SEO working for you, the booking widget is off-the-shelf, and none of it was built mobile-first. Here's the picture today.
Chapter 01 In your words
You told us where it hurts.
"It costs about £5,000 a year and it isn't meeting our needs."
What this means · You're funding a platform that works against the mission, not for it.
"We're paying for donor and CRM features we don't use."
What this means · Money leaves the charity every month for functionality that sits idle.
"We need a back-end our own team can use to manage events."
What this means · Every change today is a dependency — you want control back.
"The current off-the-shelf widget isn't good enough for bookings."
What this means · Space-hire and event bookings leak at the exact moment they should convert.
Chapter 01 The problem, mapped
Problem Identification Chart.
Four problems, traced to their root cause — and what each one actually costs a charity whose reason to exist is putting money into artists' hands.
| Problem | Root cause | Business impact | Emotional impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~£5,000/yr platform | Access UK bundles donor & CRM tools you don't need | ~£4,600/yr diverted from artists & programmes | Frustration — funds not reaching the mission |
| Invisible in search | No SEO built into the current platform | Hirers & audiences can't find you | Missed reach; growth left to chance |
| Leaky bookings | Off-the-shelf Checkfront HTML widget | Abandoned space-hire & event bookings | Admin drag; opportunities slip away |
| Poor mobile experience | Legacy platform, not mobile-first | ~80% of visitors get a second-rate journey | A weak first impression of a brilliant charity |
Chapter 02 What it's costing you
The website should pay for itself. This one will.
Chapter 03 Where this takes you
A booking system that earns its keep.
A bespoke, mobile-first booking flow — replacing the off-the-shelf widget — converts more of the space-hire and event interest you already get. Drag the sliders to your own numbers.
Illustrative only — figures are estimates based on the inputs above, not a guarantee. We'll refine them together once the Checkfront documentation is shared.
