What is a business system?
It is the part of a website that does a job for you. A page tells people your prices; a system lets you change them from your phone. A contact form sends a message; a booking system takes the request, checks it against your opening hours and puts it in your inbox.
The QR menu
Guests scan a code and the menu opens: photos, prices, and choices such as hot or iced built into each item. You run it from an admin panel on your phone. It starts from 300 JD, and Formentera Café's is live.
Online booking
Thorns Digital builds online booking for businesses that take appointments. The page takes a request at any hour, checks it against your opening hours and sends it to your inbox with a reference number. It is priced per project.
The first website we built for Naile by Diana, a nail spa in Amman, took appointment requests online. A visitor chose a treatment, a day and a time. The server checked the request against the salon's opening hours and sent it to the salon's inbox with a reference number, and the salon confirmed with the client.
The salon has since moved to a booking service, so that form is no longer live. The Workbench on our home page has a booking demo you can press.
What a booking page can do
- Take a request at any hour, with the service, the day and the time.
- Refuse a request outside your opening hours before it reaches you.
- Send each request to your inbox with a reference number the client can quote.
- Confirm the client's email address with a code before the booking counts.
- Protect itself: duplicate requests are caught and repeated attempts are slowed down.
What it costs

| Online booking | priced per project |
How much does an online booking system cost?
We price booking per project and give you the number in writing before work starts. It depends on what the booking has to do: send you each request by email, confirm the client's email address with a code, or show free slots from a live calendar. Our other system, the QR menu, starts from 300 JD.
Something else
These two are the systems we have built. If you need a different one, such as a stock list or an order screen, describe it in the brief. We will tell you plainly whether we can build it and what it would cost.
