At a glance
- Website, integration and operations
- Separate implementation scope
- Clear maintenance responsibilities
An agency-built site can be the right way to present your school. A booking plugin may also cover the reservation flow you need. Assess website design, booking integration and daily operations separately: buying one does not automatically provide the others.
Separate the three decisions
| Area | What to check | TIDEFORCE scope |
|---|---|---|
| Website creation | Do you need a new site or an improvement to your current one? | School Websites is a separately priced design and implementation service with an agreed scope. |
| Supported widget or link | Would a supported booking connection fit the existing website? | A self-managed supported connection is available; assistance and custom implementation are scoped separately. |
| Public content synchronisation | Should offers and public content be read from TIDEFORCE? | Website Sync is a read-only, school-scoped API service with usage allowances. It does not include native booking. |
| Native booking in your design | Do you need a custom checkout integrated into the site? | Native API implementation is a separate project. Confirm supported functions, maintenance and commercial terms. |
| Daily operations | Who groups guests, assigns staff and equipment, and prepares invoices? | The platform connects those operational records to bookings; staff still make and review the relevant decisions. |
Give each supplier a clear responsibility
Agree who owns content, design, integration, hosting, consent configuration and ongoing maintenance. A website agency can work alongside TIDEFORCE. Compare the actual plugin and its integrations rather than assuming all plugins have the same limits.
Test it with a real booking
Use one real offer to test the complete path: website information, booking, payment, operational plan and invoice. Confirm what updates automatically and what someone must maintain.
