Question 1

What is The Ship?

Accepted Answer

It's a platform for building a custom software portal for a business from ready-made modules. Instead of buying and stitching together separate apps, you pick the modules you need and get one branded portal where they all work together.

Question 2

How is it different from buying separate apps?

Accepted Answer

Separate apps don't talk to each other — you re-type the same client into five places. Here the modules are connected: a website enquiry becomes a lead, a lead becomes an invoice, a paid invoice becomes income — automatically. One login, one bill, your branding.

Question 3

Which modules can I get?

Accepted Answer

There are currently 14 modules: financial calculators, CRM/Lead Book, invoicing, accounting, budget planning, a website builder, staff scheduling, bookings, property showings, tournaments, a brokerage hub, a photo gallery, inventory, and a shop CMS. See them all — with a 'try it live' link each — in the module catalogue.

Question 4

Can the modules really talk to each other?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the whole point. Leads captured by the website or calculators flow into the Lead Book; closed deals become income in Accounting; bookings create leads; and the owner dashboard rolls it all up. Click through any of our six example portals to see it end-to-end.

Question 5

Is my data safe, and where does it live?

Accepted Answer

Today the demo runs entirely in your own browser — nothing is sent to a server, so there's nothing to leak. You can export a full backup anytime and restore it on another device. In Phase 2 we add real accounts and a secure backend so your data syncs across devices and your team automatically. No API keys or secrets ever live in the pages.

Question 6

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Simple monthly plans — Starter, Pro, and Platform. Prices are placeholders during the build; billing goes live in Phase 2.

Question 7

Can I add modules later?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Start with one or two and add more as you grow — a new module is just switched on in your portal. You never have to migrate or start over.

Question 8

Do you build custom modules?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your business needs something not on the shelf, we build it as a new module — and because it's built the same way, it plugs into everything else and can be reused for the next client.

Question 9

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Small businesses and agencies that are tired of juggling tools — real-estate brokerages, shops and cafés, photographers, sports clubs, service businesses. If you're re-typing the same info into different apps, this is for you.

Question 10

How do I get started?
