An experiment in local

Why?

We wanted NFC business cards and simple websites. What we found instead was waste, cost, and a lot of small businesses priced out of good tools.

What we saw

  • Stacks of unused paper cards, printed and thrown away
  • NFC technology priced out of reach for most small shops
  • Website builds that cost more than a local business can justify

So we stopped shopping and started experimenting.

Three questions we're trying to answer

  1. Can we offer free NFC business cards and websites to local businesses?
  2. Can we build a connected network of local people and services?
  3. If so — can that network help local businesses generate more local sales?

What we're building

A platform that gives you a free, no-code website in minutes. It handles hosting, web-shops, customer outreach, and more. There's even Raven Chat — a simple messaging service for registered users.

No cost • No ads • No app • No data scraping

Who it's for

We're inviting businesses across Worcestershire to use the platform collectively — to test whether a shared local network can do what individual marketing budgets can't.
