Which one fits you?

WordPress is a good fit if…

  • You want complete control over design, code and hosting
  • You, or someone you work with, enjoys managing plugins and updates
  • You need a special feature that only a particular plugin offers

Bespire is a good fit if…

  • You want your website, booking, passes and payments working together from day one
  • You'd rather describe your business to Bes than configure plugins
  • You want one monthly plan instead of separate bills for hosting, themes and plugins

  • BASE: €14.90 + VAT a month
  • PRO: €39.90 + VAT a month
  • MAX: €89.90 + VAT a month
  • Payment provider charges and domain registration are separate

Annual billing gives you 12 months for the price of 10. Bespire is free to try, no credit card needed.

  2. Bring your clients and passes

  3. Publish and share your link

    Check the draft, connect your own domain and publish. Then share your booking link wherever clients find you.

Questions

Can Bespire replace my WordPress website?

Yes, if what you need is a business website with booking, passes and payments. Bes reads your current site, up to 50 pages, and starts the new one from your logo, colours, services and tone.

Can I keep my domain?

Yes. Every plan includes your own domain: one on BASE, up to two on PRO and as many as you need on MAX. Domain registration is a separate cost.
