Two WaveBNB Pro planning resources are now live: a step-by-step website journey and an editable cost-benefit calculator. They help care home teams understand the work involved in a website project and explore its costs before deciding what to do next.
Choosing a website package raises practical questions. What happens after payment? Which materials will the home need to supply? When can the team review the pages? What would need to improve for the investment to make sense? The new resources bring these questions together in one place.
See the website journey, from first conversation to handover
The How It Works page sets out fourteen steps across six phases. It explains the initial conversation, package selection, payment, onboarding, design, preview, refinements, approval, launch and handover. Each stage distinguishes what the care home supplies from what WaveBNB handles.
A preparation checklist helps teams organise business information, branding, approved content, domain arrangements and final feedback. Target timelines remain subject to the agreed scope and begin after the required materials, access and approvals are received.
Explore a first-year cost-benefit scenario
The website cost-benefit page compares a quality website, a poor website and no website. Its calculator lets you change build costs, monthly running costs, other costs, unrecoverable VAT and an occupancy scenario.
The model uses contribution after additional care-delivery costs, rather than treating the full weekly care fee as a benefit. It counts additional occupied resident-weeks against a baseline. The starting figures are illustrative assumptions, not sector averages, predicted results or a promise of enquiries or admissions.
Use the resources before agreeing your project scope
Read the journey with the person who will coordinate your project, then use your own costs and operational information in the calculator. Consider care suitability, available capacity, safe staffing and how your team follows up enquiries. The tools support a discussion; they cannot decide whether a website investment is appropriate for your home.
You can also browse the illustrative live demos and compare published packages and terms. If you would like to discuss your current website and priorities, tell us about your project. We agree the scope, timing and commercial details before payment.
