Services · Ecommerce development · Employee attendance subscription sites
Codeeo handles employee attendance subscription website development Manchester product teams rely on when most of their customers buy without speaking to anyone. We build the marketing site, plan picker, checkout and account area as one product, connected to your attendance software so upgrades, downgrades and pauses take effect the moment a customer clicks. It suits vendors growing through self serve sign ups from bars, studios, venues and agencies across Greater Manchester and beyond.
The clocking and rota features live in your own product. Our work is the commercial layer: how plans are presented, how money is taken and kept, and how the website and billing system tell your product what each customer may use.

Capabilities
Manchester has one of the strongest software scenes outside London, from agencies and start ups in the Northern Quarter to the creative and tech firms around MediaCity in Salford. Many attendance vendors here grow from the bottom up: a bar manager signs up, invites the team, and the group head office finds out three months later. Your website has to make that first purchase easy and the later expansion painless.
That means the site and the product cannot be two separate worlds. Plan changes, limits and add ons must sync instantly, prices must be easy to test and change, and churn has to be visible early. These are the parts we build, with the first release cut to what your current growth stage needs. Everything is designed to WCAG 2.2, which supports your duties under the Equality Act and makes the checkout easier for every customer using a phone on a busy shift. We also keep page weight low, because many of your buyers will first see the site on mobile data in a venue, not on an office desktop.
Plans, limits and add ons live in one product catalogue that feeds the pricing page, the checkout and your product's feature flags. Change a limit once and it updates everywhere, without a developer editing three codebases.
Pricing experiments ship in hours, not sprints.
When a customer hits a plan limit, such as a third venue or a fiftieth employee, your product shows an upgrade prompt that opens a prefilled checkout. Payment confirms, the entitlement updates and the new limit applies straight away.
Expansion revenue arrives at the moment of need.
Event venues, student unions and festival suppliers often close for weeks at a time. A pause option keeps their data and setup intact while billing stops, with an automatic restart date the customer chooses.
Fewer cancellations from customers who only need a break.
Film, television and events companies in Salford hire freelance crew for short projects. A day based or project based plan lets them pay for the crew days logged, with invoices broken down per production for their accounts.
A plan that fits how productions actually staff.
When you raise prices, existing customers can stay on their old plan for a period you set, receive notice emails in advance, or move at renewal. Every version of every plan is kept, so you always know who pays what.
Price rises without a wave of angry support tickets.
Cancellation sits in plain sight in the account area, takes a few steps at most, and asks one optional question about why. Offering a pause or a smaller plan is fine; hiding the button is not, and future UK subscription rules expected in 2027 point the same way.
Honest churn data and customers who may come back.
Customers in Ireland and elsewhere get the right VAT treatment based on location and whether they supplied a valid business VAT number, with the reason recorded on each invoice. Prices can be shown in sterling or euro.
Cross border sales without manual tax corrections.
Your marketing team edits feature pages, comparison pages and customer stories in a headless CMS, with components that keep the design consistent and pages that stay fast enough to pass Core Web Vitals.
Marketing publishes without waiting on engineering.
Events from visit to sign up, activation, first payment and expansion are tracked once a visitor accepts analytics cookies, in line with PECR. You see which pages and channels bring customers who stay, not just those who sign up.
Decisions based on paid accounts, not vanity numbers.
A manager invites colleagues from inside your product, and the billing system knows which invites will add cost before they are sent. The inviter sees the effect on the monthly bill, and a group head office in Manchester can approve or block new paid seats across all its venues from one place.
Growth inside an account without bill shock.
Who this is for
Attendance and rota products in Greater Manchester tend to grow from a particular customer base: hospitality in the city centre, production work in Salford, logistics around Trafford Park, or a broad mix of small employers found through search. Each base changes the pricing model and the checkout. These are the vendor types we see most, with what we would build first for each. Most vendors fit one profile today and drift towards another as they grow, so we plan the catalogue and billing setup to stretch rather than be rebuilt.
Your customers run bars, restaurants and venues from Deansgate to Ancoats, with staff who change often and managers short on time. We build mobile friendly sign up, per venue plans and quick addition of new sites, so a group that opens a second venue can add it inside the product and see the new monthly total before confirming. Managers can also pay by Apple Pay or Google Pay on a phone between shifts.
Mobile checkout matters most for this group.
If your product logs crew hours for shoots and live events, standard per seat pricing fails. We design project and day based plans, per production invoices and simple account sharing between production companies and their freelance coordinators, all kept separate in billing so each production's costs are easy to report.
Self serve brought you thousands of small customers, but now multi site employers want contracts, invoices on terms and single sign on. We add quote acceptance, invoice billing and company level accounts beside the self serve path, so you can sell upmarket without breaking what already works for small customers. A security page and data processing agreement help with the procurement questions larger Manchester employers ask.
Early vendors often stitch together payment links, forms and automations. It works until refunds, VAT and proration pile up. We move you onto a proper billing engine, migrate subscriptions with their existing dates and prices, and retire the patchwork once every customer has renewed cleanly on the new system.
Engagement
We work with Manchester clients remotely: there is no Codeeo office in the city, and discovery, demos and sign off all happen by video call with shared boards and recorded decisions. Our team of 80+ sits across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. Product led companies often prefer a fixed scope first release followed by a monthly retainer for pricing tests and new plans. Others add dedicated developers to their own squad for a longer programme. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and hold a 4.7 rating from 23 Google reviews. Code, accounts and documentation stay in your ownership whichever model you choose.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Common stacks include Next.js with a headless CMS for the site, Stripe Billing or Paddle for subscriptions, and HubSpot for lifecycle email. We fit around the tools your engineers already know rather than adding new ones without reason, and keep every integration documented for whoever maintains it next.

The marketing site, pricing, checkout, account area and billing sync with your product.
We build the public site that explains and prices your product, the checkout that takes the first payment, the account area where customers manage plans and invoices, and the integration that tells your product what each customer has paid for. Analytics, consent and email notifications sit alongside. The attendance features themselves remain your product; we connect to it through an agreed interface your engineers approve. Marketing pages are editable by your own team after launch.
