## The same problems, in every town.

We've built websites for local businesses since 2009. We also run our own hometown media platforms, where we spend our weeks covering local businesses, events and the people behind them.

That work keeps putting us in front of the same problems. Business directories nobody can find. Events that never make it online, or make it online as a PDF. Members who can't say what their dues bought them. And more and more, people asking AI where to go and what to do, and AI only recommending what it can read.

Chambers and tourism offices are the organizations best placed to fix that for a whole town at once. Hiveway is the system we'd want if we ran one.

## Help, by email, from us.

- **Email, always.** We don't take or make phone calls. Write to us through a form and one of us writes back. When it's worth talking face to face, we set up a video chat by email.
- **One flat price, published.** No annual contracts, no setup fees, no cut of your payments.
- **What it doesn't do, said first.** We'd rather tell you what Hiveway doesn't do than oversell it.
- **No guarantees we can't keep.** We show you what's happening, and you decide if it's worth it.

## Founding season.

We're building Hiveway now with our first chamber, and choosing a small group of chambers and destinations to build it with. Founding organizations get us closely involved in their setup, and a real say in what comes next.
