We build the store, the booking system and the traffic that fills it.

A Cape Town studio building Shopify stores and booking software for service businesses — plus fifteen years of stills and motion behind the lens.

Built for SA Art Fair

A booking system running a real business, every day.

We built SA Art Fair's storefront, class booking engine and admin from scratch — deposits, capacity, waitlists, WhatsApp confirmations and a live calendar their team runs themselves.

Where do you want to start?

Three doors, one conversation.

Most businesses come to us needing one of these three. Whichever door you pick, it starts with a free fifteen-minute audit.

Bookable — by Fun Life Media

Your store, your bookings, one checkout.

No third-party booking tool bolted on the side. The calendar lives inside your Shopify store, takes deposits through your existing checkout, and your team runs it from one admin.

  • Calendar admin your team can actually use
  • Staff, rooms and resources with real capacity limits
  • Deposits and full payment through your own checkout
  • Email and WhatsApp confirmations, sent automatically
We don't just capture life — we architect attention through data and high-definition narrative

Before you ask

The usual questions.

How long does a build take?

A booking app install runs three to five days. A full store build is typically two to three weeks, depending on how much of your catalogue needs migrating.

Do I need to leave my current booking tool?

Eventually, yes — that's the point. Bookings run through your own checkout instead of a third party taking a cut and holding your customer data.

What does the care plan actually cover?

Hosting the app, updates, bug fixes and small content changes. R850 a month, cancel any time.

Can you do the photography too?

Yes. Fifteen years of stills and ten of motion — most clients bundle a shoot into the build so the new store launches with real imagery.
