Raising the Baah at rapid build and deployment
by Benjamin Hartrey, Founder

When Raise The Baah came to us, the goal was clear: get a booking and payment platform live fast for an upcoming half-term coaching camp without compromising on quality or future flexibility.
The solution needed to be live, reliable, and ready to take payments yesterday.
Raise The Baah needed a customer-friendly booking experience with secure payments, fast time to launch, and a flexible platform that could grow with the business.
Our Approach
We designed, built, and deployed the first version of raisethebaah.com in two days. The focus was on shipping a clean, functional MVP that solves the immediate business need, while laying strong foundations for future improvements.
Key elements of the build included:
- A custom multi-step booking form with live pricing and options for early drop-off
- Integrated Stripe payments, powered by our own payment platform sQPay
- Automated booking confirmation and operational notifications
- A flexible site structure that allows easy iteration as requirements evolve
The Technology
The site is built with a modern, scalable stack:
- Next.js App Router, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS
- A modular page structure so content sections can be easily reordered or reused
- Centralised SEO and metadata handling
- A robust booking and payment flow using Stripe Checkout
- Automated confirmations via webhooks, email, and Google Sheets for operational visibility
All of this runs serverlessly, with safeguards in place to ensure booking and payment data is processed reliably.
The Outcome
The website was launched in just three days, enabling bookings and payments ahead of half term, delivering a clean and professional first release the client was happy with, and establishing a strong technical foundation ready for ongoing iteration.
The first version is intentionally neat and focused. Now that the platform is live and delivering value, we can continue to iterate on structure, content, and features based on real usage.
If you need to move fast without cutting corners, this is exactly the kind of build we love delivering.
