How it works

How Timvat works

Why your own website pays off, what's included and how everything works behind the scenes.

Why

Why your business needs its own website

Most customers search on Google before they call, email or book. A business without its own website – or with an old one that doesn't work on mobile – loses customers to competitors who show up better.

Customers look online first

Whether it's an electrician, a B&B or an accounting firm, the customer wants to see services, prices and contact details before they get in touch.

A profile somewhere else isn't enough

A page on a marketplace or social media is a good complement, but someone else decides how you appear and which competitors are shown next to you.

An agency is expensive, DIY WordPress takes time

An agency often costs thousands, and building it yourself with themes and plugins takes weeks. Timvat gives you a finished site in minutes for a fixed monthly price.

Features

What's included in your website

Edit your site yourself – with the mouse or in words

Move, add and remove sections wherever you like, or write what you want changed and the AI does it for you (drag-and-drop and AI). No technical knowledge needed.

Get found on Google

Google understands what you offer, where you are and when you're open. It's set up automatically – you don't need to do anything (SEO and structured data).

Fast on mobile

Most customers find you on their phone, so your site loads quickly and is easy to use on a small screen (good Core Web Vitals).

Built to load fast

Your site in several languages

The AI translates your site and visitors switch language with one click. Handy if you have customers who don't speak your language.

Your own address – we take care of the rest

Use your own address, like yourbusiness.com, or buy a new one in the dashboard (your own domain). We keep the site running, secure and up to date (hosting, SSL and updates included).

Clean Nordic design

Ready-made looks in a Scandinavian style that you adapt with your own colours and images.

In depth

How Timvat works in depth

The website builder

You describe your business and the AI builds a complete website that you then adjust with drag-and-drop or with words.

The site includes a home, about and contact page, with colours, layout and copy adapted to your industry. After that you're in control. You can move blocks, swap images and edit text directly in the editor, or write what you want changed, for example "add a new service", and the AI does it in seconds.

The design follows a Nordic line with clear typefaces and airy spacing. The site works as well on mobile as on a computer, and you can edit it from your phone. Hosting, SSL, security and updates are included, so you never need to think about operations.

SEO and visibility in Google and AI search

Timvat builds pages that search engines and AI assistants can easily read, understand and cite.

In practice that means four things. The page has a clear heading structure, so Google understands what each section is about. It has a sitemap, so new pages are found quickly. Every page gets a title and meta description. And structured data, known as JSON-LD, tells search engines who you are, where you are and when you're open. The structured data is adapted to your industry, so an electrician is marked up as an electrician and a B&B as accommodation.

You can also create landing pages for the towns you work in, which helps you show up for local searches like "electrician Manchester", "cleaning company Leeds" or "hairdresser Bristol". No one can promise a particular ranking, because it's decided by Google and the competition, but the foundation is built right from the start.

You own your site, your customers and your data

Bookings, requests and customer contacts are collected with you, on your own address, with no marketplace in between.

Everything customers send in lands in your inbox in Timvat. You see who got in touch, what they wanted and how to reach them. You can connect your own domain, so the site lives under your own name and is something you take with you if you ever want to switch tools.

We don't sell customer details and don't use them to promote competitors. How personal data is handled is described in our privacy policy. And because there's no lock-in, you only stay as long as the tool is useful.

Booking and quotes when you need them

If you sell time, customers can book right on the site, and you pay no commission per booking.

If you sell jobs without a fixed price, the customer sends a quote request with a description and photos. Both features are included in the price and can be switched off if you only want a website.

Industries

A website for every kind of business

Timvat works for most small businesses – from tradespeople and consultants to restaurants, hotels and salons. When you create your site you choose an industry, and the AI suggests a layout, copy and pages that fit it. An accounting firm gets a clear site with services and a contact form, a construction company gets quote requests and a salon gets time booking. You decide which parts to use.

More questions and answers

Does my business need a website?

Yes, for most. Customers search on Google before they get in touch, and your own website is the only place where you decide what they see.

Agency or website builder – which suits me?

An agency suits you if you need a fully custom solution. For most small businesses a website builder is enough, and it's cheaper and lets you change the site yourself.

Which industries does Timvat suit?

Local service businesses that take bookings, requests or guests: salons, spas, tradespeople, electricians, cleaning and moving companies, hotels and B&Bs, consultants and more.

What happens to my customer data?

Bookings and requests land in your own inbox in Timvat, and you own the relationship with your customers. We don't sell data and don't show your customers to competitors. How data is handled is described in our privacy policy.

Will you help me get started?

Yes. The founder answers questions personally and helps you get set up. If you'd rather not do anything yourself, email timur@timvat.com and we'll help with the setup.

Can I have both time booking and quote requests?

Yes. You can use one of them or both on the same site, for example booked time for small jobs and quotes for larger ones.

Does it work for tradespeople without fixed times?

Yes. Tradespeople use quote requests instead of time booking. The customer describes the job, gives for example the area or number of rooms and attaches photos. You see everything in one clear view and reply with a quote when it suits you.

Does Timvat work for hotels and B&Bs?

Yes. With room booking you add room types, number of rooms and prices, and the guest sends a booking request that you accept.

Is Timvat an alternative to a booking marketplace?

For anyone who wants their own website and no commission, yes. You can also run both in parallel while you move your customers over at your own pace.

Can I move over from a booking marketplace or another platform?

Yes, you can start building your own site and your own booking flow while you still keep your old profile. When it feels safe you link your customers to your own site. You decide the pace, and the customer relationship ends up with you.
