School Websites
Core capabilityWe design, build and launch a complete new website for your school
Operational effectthe TIDEFORCE booking engine and shop natively integrated
Read context →
Most school websites weren't built to sell. They were built years ago as a brochure — and when online booking arrived later, it arrived as an iframe in someone else's design, with the shop as a third system somewhere else. Guests feel the seams: different fonts, a second cart, a checkout on a domain they've never heard of. With the TIDEFORCE website service, we design and build your school a complete new website where the booking engine and shop aren't embedded — they're native. One design, one domain, one checkout: your storefront is your website.
What you get
A complete website, designed and built for youWe design, build and launch the whole siteyour brand, your spot, your services, your storyRead moreRead less→
We design, build and launch the whole site — your brand, your spot, your services, your story. It's not a template you have to assemble or a website builder you have to learn: the TIDEFORCE team does the work, and your school gets a modern website that looks like you and sells what you actually offer.
Booking and shop are native — not bolted onThe booking engine and e-commerce are part of the website itself, not a widget embedded from a second providerCourses, lessons, rentals, camps, vouchers and gear live in the same design and the same cart as every other pageRead moreRead less→
The booking engine and e-commerce are part of the website itself, not a widget embedded from a second provider. Courses, lessons, rentals, camps, vouchers and gear live in the same design and the same cart as every other page — one checkout for everything you sell — so guests complete their booking without ever being handed off to a page that doesn't look like your school.
Hosting stays yours — the commerce engine is ourswe're not a hosting providerThe website itself lives on hosting you ownRead moreRead less→
Said honestly: we're not a hosting provider. The website itself lives on hosting you own, with a provider of your choice — not on ours. You don't have to touch it, though: if you want, we set up and manage that hosting for you, on an account that stays in your name. And the heavy lifting doesn't sit there anyway — the booking engine, shop, checkout and data all run on the TIDEFORCE platform, with server costs covered by your selected platform plan. Your hosting only has to serve the website; the commerce runs on us.

A classic school website involves an agency that built it and a booking plugin from somewhere else — and when the seam between them breaks, each points at the other. Here that seam is gone: website, booking engine and shop come from one team — no agency in between, no plugin from a second provider. One team, one responsibility for everything we build and run. The hosting of the site itself stays in your name, with a provider you choose — and if you'd rather not deal with it, we set it up and manage it for you. It's the seam we describe in agency site + plugin — removed where it hurts.
Update the offer once
Products stay alignedThe connected website reads the offer from TIDEFORCEkeeping a second hand-written catalogueRead moreRead less→
The connected website reads the offer from TIDEFORCE instead of keeping a second hand-written catalogue. Titles, descriptions, images, group size and the booking configuration stay tied to the product the office already manages.
Current and future prices stay alignedSeason windows, current prices and configured future prices come from the same structured pricing setup used by the booking engineChange the source record onceRead moreRead less→
Season windows, current prices and configured future prices come from the same structured pricing setup used by the booking engine. Change the source record once; the connected customer-facing offer does not need a second manual price edit.
Dates and availability stay bookableBookable dates, slots and capacity remain connected to the booking configurationThe website can present the live path into the right offerRead moreRead less→
Bookable dates, slots and capacity remain connected to the booking configuration. The website can present the live path into the right offer instead of publishing a static date list that the office has to remember to replace.
The team works from the same changeA product update is not copied into the website, a booking plugin, a planning document and an instructor message as four separate tasksThe offer and the booking stay on one sourceRead moreRead less→
A product update is not copied into the website, a booking plugin, a planning document and an instructor message as four separate tasks. The offer and the booking stay on one source; once demand arrives, it moves into the operational plan the team uses.

A 360 journey, not a hand-off
Read details →
When TIDEFORCE also builds or connects the website, the customer journey can begin before checkout. With the required analytics, identity and consent configuration, product interest and return activity can add context to the booking. The booking then becomes the lesson plan; attendance, instructors, groups, equipment, reports, feedback and repeat activity can continue on the same connected customer record.
| Customer moment | What stays connected | What the school gains |
|---|---|---|
| Exploring the website | Consented offer views, calls to action and return activity where configured | Context about what attracted interest before a booking |
| Booking | Product, date, participants, value, payment and customer identity where known | Structured demand instead of a website enquiry to re-enter |
| Preparing the lesson | Schedule, group, instructor, location and equipment assignment | The booking becomes work the team can run |
| Delivering and reporting | Attendance, session report, feedback and exact equipment where recorded | A source-backed record of what actually happened |
| Returning | Repeat activity, confirmed value, previous sessions and next-session progression | Better context for personal service and the next booking |
The Customer 360 and wider Analytics Workbench are currently Beta / limited rollout. They surface source coverage and keep unknown values unknown. Rules-based next actions can support the office, but promotional emails are not sent automatically without durable consent. Explore the complete Customer 360 journey.
One fixed price, one time
Read status →
A new website is €2,490 as a one-time purchase, per website — and with our Summer Special, 10% off (€2,241) when you sign by September 30, 2026. That's a fixed price, not a day rate or an open-ended estimate — you know what the project costs before it starts. TIDEFORCE adds nothing recurring for the website: no monthly website fee and no maintenance subscription from us. The commerce engine's server costs are covered by your selected TIDEFORCE platform plan. The website's own hosting stays in your name, on a provider you choose — set up and managed by us if you want.
Three ways to connect your website
Read details →
| Path | How it works |
|---|---|
| Keep your current website | Use the live TIDEFORCE schedule widget or link to your branded storefront. Your existing site stays in place, while booking and operations run on TIDEFORCE behind it. |
| New website by TIDEFORCE — €2,490 one-time | We design and build the whole site with booking and shop native inside it — one design, one domain and one connected source for the offer. |
| Website Sync — Pilot · Available on request | Keep an existing external website and connect supported public prices, seasons, offers and images through the school-specific read-only feed. From €15 per month plus usage. This is not a public self-serve API or app ecosystem. |
Upsell from context, not duplicated setup
Read status →
Because services, add-ons, shop items, customers and operational records can share one platform, an upsell does not need a second product catalogue. Staff can already add relevant extras to existing bookings. In Customer 360 Beta, the system can also surface a rules-based next-session, review or retention prompt from available evidence.
Why this matters

See the engine live — real school storefronts
Read details →
The best preview of your new website isn't a mockup — it's the live engine. The commerce core your site would be built around is already selling at real schools: Planet Allsports (Lake Garda · Boavista) and Primesurf (from Germany to Mauritius) take bookings through their branded TIDEFORCE storefronts today — courses, rentals and camps in one cart, one checkout, under the school's own name. A new website by TIDEFORCE wraps exactly this engine in a complete site of your own: same booking flow, same shop, your design around it.
“TIDEFORCE gave us more than a booking system. Planning, team coordination, inventory and guest communication finally run in one place — and the mobile app makes the daily operation much easier for everyone on site.” — Daniel & Marcel, Primesurf
Open either storefront on your phone — that's the buying experience your guests get, before we've even talked about your design. More live schools are on the customers page.
Frequently asked questions
01What does a new website cost?
+
€2,490 as a one-time purchase, per website — with the Summer Special, 10% off (€2,241) when you sign by September 30, 2026. It's a fixed price, not a day rate or an estimate — you know the full cost before the project starts.
02Are there running costs for the website?
+
There is no recurring TIDEFORCE website fee: the €2,490 is one-time. The commerce engine's server costs are covered by your selected TIDEFORCE platform plan. The website itself runs on hosting you own, so your provider's fee is between you and them — and if you'd rather not manage that yourself, we can set up and run the hosting for you on an account in your name.
03Does TIDEFORCE host the website?
+
We're not a hosting provider — the site lives on hosting you own, with a provider of your choice. But we can take care of it for you: we set up the hosting and manage it on your behalf, on an account that stays in your name. The booking engine and shop run on the TIDEFORCE platform either way, with their server costs covered by your selected platform plan.
04Is the booking system embedded as an iframe or widget?
+
No. The booking engine and shop are natively integrated into the website itself — same design, same domain, one cart and one checkout. Guests complete their booking without being handed off to a separate booking page.
05Can I keep my existing website instead?
+
Yes. The website service is optional — you can keep your current site and use the TIDEFORCE schedule widget or link to your branded storefront. The Website Sync pilot can also connect supported public prices, seasons, offers and images to an eligible external website from €15 per month plus usage.
06Is there a public TIDEFORCE API I can connect myself?
+
Not today. A broader public API and app ecosystem are planned, not self-serve live capabilities. Website Sync is a school-specific, read-only pilot for supported public website content, available on request with project-specific onboarding.
07Which website information stays in sync?
+
For supported customer-facing elements, Website Sync can provide public offers, descriptions, relevant structured data, prices, validity and season periods, public images and version information. Private operational and customer data are not part of the feed; bespoke editorial pages still follow the normal website content workflow.
08Does the connected website include Customer 360 analytics?
+
Optional Website Insights and Connected Journey can add aggregate or legitimately attributable website-interest signals where the required analytics, identity and consent configuration is in place. Anonymous or unlinked activity remains anonymous. Customer 360 and the wider connected analytics experience remain Beta / limited rollout, and completeness depends on source coverage.
09Will TIDEFORCE automatically send rebooking or used-gear emails?
+
Not as a broadly live capability today. TIDEFORCE can surface rules-based next actions in Beta, but promotional automation requires durable consent and suppression controls and remains follow-on work.
10Does the website run under my own domain and brand?
+
Yes. It's your school's website under your brand. Connecting it to a domain you own is booked separately as the bring-your-own-domain add-on (€149 one-time) — we take care of the domain connection, DNS records and SSL certificate together with you.
11What's included in the €2,490?
+
Design, build and launch of the complete website, with the TIDEFORCE booking engine and e-commerce natively integrated from day one. It's one fixed price per website — a one-time purchase. Not included: domain connection (the separate bring-your-own-domain add-on, €149 one-time) and the website's hosting, which runs on an account you own — we can set it up and manage it for you.
