For the trades that run on appointments and invoices
One sentence.
The whole operation.
Type what you do. Runway writes your website, switches on booking, clients and invoicing, and starts collecting payments — usually inside a minute.
Walk in sharp. Walk out sharper.
Book a chairRunway recognises these trades on sight:
Watch a business stand up.
This is the whole setup — not a wizard with forty questions. One sentence, and the pieces switch on in order. Pick a trade and watch it run.

Walk in sharp. Walk out sharper.
A neighbourhood barbershop doing fades, beard work, and hot towel shaves — walk-ins welcome, regulars book ahead.

A demonstration built from real presets — your site is generated from your own words.
Everything the job needs, on one board.
The website is just the front door. Behind it, Runway runs the day — the calendar, the client list, the money, the messages — so nothing lives in a notebook or a second app.

Scale plan“Thanks for calling Hillside Plumbing — I can get you booked. Is this an emergency, or can I offer you Thursday morning?”
A voice agent that answers when you’re under a sink: takes the call, books the slot, texts you the summary. On the Scale plan.
Reviews
auto-ask“Showed up on time, fixed it same day, invoice by text. Easiest contractor I’ve dealt with.”
After a job closes, Runway asks for the review so you don’t have to.

Invoice link by text, they pay by card or bank, it lands in your balance.
Runway for agencies.
If you build sites or run marketing for local businesses, you’ll be able to run every client’s operation from one place — under your brand, with your cut built into what they collect.
Not open yet — we’re still building it
Priced like a tool, not a department.
Pick a size, change it whenever. No contract, and your data stays yours either way.
Fair questions.
No. Runway writes and hosts one from your description, on its own shareable link. If you already have a site you like, keep it and use Runway underneath as your booking, client and payments system.
It still works. Runway recognises the listed trades on sight and gives them tuned defaults. Anything else gets a website, a client list and invoicing on a sensible general default, and you can change what is switched on afterwards.
You connect your own payout account during setup. Customers pay through a link you send them, by card or by bank transfer on larger invoices, and they do not need an account of their own. Your share lands in your Runway balance once the payment clears, with the transaction fee already deducted. From there it goes out to your bank on the schedule your plan sets, and you can take it out early whenever you want — there is nothing to reconcile at month end. Bank transfers take a few working days to clear, so an invoice paid that way shows as clearing until the money actually arrives.
Yes. The generated business name, headline, services and call to action are a starting point. Every one of them is editable from your dashboard, along with your logo, theme and page layout.
The pricing section above is always current — it shows what each plan costs today, including any trial or offer that happens to be running. Every payment you collect also carries a transaction fee, listed on each plan, which covers processing and getting the money to your bank. Payouts on the schedule your plan sets are free; taking money out early costs a flat fee, shown on the plan and again before you confirm, and on some plans it is included.
Yes, from the Plan section of your dashboard, at any time. Moving up takes effect immediately and moving down takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for.
Yes. One login can own several businesses, each with its own site, calendar, client list and payout account, and you switch between them from inside the dashboard.
You sign up as an agency rather than a business, then set up client businesses from your own dashboard. Each gets its own site and tools, your brand colour is applied, and your percentage comes out of every invoice they collect automatically.
If you want them to. Each business can run as a static site or as a web app where your customers get accounts, log in, and pay for subscriptions or one-off charges. You choose per business.
You didn’t start the business

Say what you do. The first thing it builds is yours to keep editing either way.
