What it is

What it is: one deck, one AI copilot, one 52-week programme

Three parts that work as one. Start with any of them; the deck is the ground the other two stand on.

How it fits together: one brain can run the lot

The ten modules that make up CP52 WebDeck. Each one runs perfectly well on its own — or you let InkFox, your own AI, drive them together.

Presence £25/mo · Academy £49/mo · Bookings & Events £39/mo · CrewHR £49/mo · Holiday+ £59/mo · Gold £1,050/yr with InkFox included · Platinum £1,150/yr adds Holiday+. Every edition is a rolling monthly plan with no setup fee — or pay for a year and get twelve months for the price of ten. See the platform →

Why it matters

What actually differs: whose brand, whose money, and who picks up the phone

Most creatives run on a marketplace page, a social profile or a site-builder that keeps the customer — and every one of those is a monthly bill as well. So the honest comparison isn’t paying against not paying. It’s what you get for the money, and what you keep hold of.

Built for you, not picked from a list

Your deck is a real bespoke build on your own domain, drawn around what your business actually does — your pages, your shop, your workshop dates. Not a theme you fill in, and not one of nine layouts everybody else is also using.

The money lands in your own Stripe

You connect your own Stripe key, so sales settle straight into your own bank account. We never touch your money and we take no percentage of what you sell — not on your best month, not ever. A marketplace takes a slice of every sale on top of its monthly fee.

One subscription, not six

Website, shop, card till, workshop bookings, courses, contacts, newsletter and support desk — in one place, on one bill. Most working creatives are paying four or five separate tools to do the same job, and re-typing the same customer into each one.

A person, not a helpdesk

When something needs sorting you email me and I answer. No ticket queue, no first-line script, no bot pretending to be a colleague. I run two businesses on this same kit, so when it breaks it breaks for me too.

Your content and your data come with you

Pages, products, bookings, contacts, students — all of it exports in a standard format whenever you ask, with no exit fee. The deck itself runs on our servers and stops at the end of the period you have paid for if you stop paying; what you made in it never becomes ours.

First — the bill you're already paying

Why it matters: add up what you already pay — Kajabi, Eventbrite, Shopify, Mailchimp, Zendesk, hosting…

Most working creatives pay a stack of monthly and per-ticket fees to a shelf of separate SaaS tools. The CP52 WebDeck replaces the lot with one deck: one subscription covering hosting, deck updates and support, with no setup fee. One bill instead of six — and unlike the shelf above, we never take a percentage of your sales. Payments go straight to your own Stripe.

What you replacetypical creator stack
  • Kajabi (Growth)courses · community · email · site~£1,890/yr*
  • Eventbriteworkshop ticketing · 6.95% + 59p/ticket, all-in~£745/yr*
  • Shopify (Basic)online shop · before card fees~£300/yr*
  • Mailchimp / Brevothe mailing list · grows with your contacts~£240/yr*
  • Zendesk (Suite Team)support desk · per agent~£540/yr*
  • Managed hostingthe website under it all~£180/yr*
The full shelf, per year~£3,900

Nobody pays for all six at once — most working creatives run three or four. Tick yours: the arithmetic still lands the same way.

What you pay insteadCP52 WebDeck · one deck
  • Your WebDeck editione.g. Gold — the whole deck, built for you£1,050/yr
  • Hosting, updates & supportincluded in the monthly planfrom £25/mo
  • Your own Stripe on the same tickets1.5% + 20p · you'd pay processing on any platform~£175/yr
Recurring, per year£250–£1,050
One deck, one bill — and no percentage of your sales. And that's before the £30,000–£40,000 of a PA: the job InkFox itself takes a real slice of.

*Typical advertised prices, checked summer 2026 — yours may differ; the point is the pattern, not the pennies.

Prefer to piece it together on WordPress? LearnDash ($199/yr) + The Events Calendar Pro ($199/yr) + Brevo Business (~$18+/mo) lands in the same £1,500–£2,400/yr range.

More proof

The kit, working — pick your starting point

Every site starts from a real, working design. The two demonstration brands are labelled as exactly that; the third is a live artist’s site served on this exact kit — and this very page runs on it too. Same code underneath all of them.

Straight answers before you start

What does it cost, exactly?
One subscription — WebDeck Presence £25 a month (Beacon site, Compass contacts & email, Forge shop & card till, Hearth support desk). Academy £49/mo adds Summit (courses); Bookings & Events £39/mo adds Gather (workshops, 1:1s); CrewHR £49/mo adds the rota, hours & holiday module with a staff app; Holiday+ £59/mo adds Gather plus Hygge (holiday rentals & campsites — units, pitches, guest bookings and the app); Gold £1,050/yr is the whole deck (but Hygge) with InkFox included; Platinum £1,150/yr is Gold plus Holiday+. Every edition is a rolling monthly plan covering hosting, updates and support, with no setup fee and no minimum term. The H₂BA² programme is £4,800 founding.
Which can I buy today?
All seven, online — pick your edition, monthly or annual, and pay in Stripe. Email us and we set up your plan. Nothing is charged until you say yes.
Is this WordPress?
No. It’s a standalone, non-WordPress site built from a fast static kit: fewer moving parts, nothing to keep patching, no plugin sprawl. You own the domain and everything you put on the site, and your content is yours to export at any time.
Do I need InkFox?
No. Every WebDeck runs perfectly without it. InkFox is the optional AI copilot — £350 one-off on its own (a £750 white-glove install, where I set it up with you 1:1, is optional beside it), and included in Gold with a lifetime licence key.
Whose Stripe takes the money?
Yours. You connect your own Stripe key, so sales settle straight into your own bank account. We never touch your money and take no cut of your sales.
What is H₂BA²?
“How To Become An Artist”: the 52-week guided programme for the pivot from creative drive to a creative business — skills, teaching, products, marketing — with the CP52 tools wired into every stage. Ten places a cohort, two cohorts a year; first cohort 1 October 2026.
