Transition to a creative career — one week at a time.

CP52 WebDeck · Events Engine

Take workshop bookings on your own site — and never oversell the last seat again.

Sessions, venues, places, payment and confirmations in one flow, on your own site, on your own Stripe, not a marketplace that keeps your customers. The booking core is concurrency-tested, so two people can never buy the same last place. Proven live taking real bookings today; the no-WordPress engine edition is in test.

The promise

Every seat sold once, every booking on ground you own.

Stop stitching bookings together from bare Stripe links and a spreadsheet, and stop handing a marketplace a cut of every place plus the customer’s email. The Events Engine runs the whole flow (workshops grid, booking modal, sessions, venues, places and payment) on your own site and your own Stripe, with an atomic booking core that physically cannot sell the last seat twice.

Born at a real counter

This isn’t a booking demo. It books a working artist’s real workshops, and it was built by someone who has actually filled the room.

The engine that runs your bookings came out of a real teaching and building career, not a slide deck. The receipts:

708workshop attendances booked & taught in person
330distinct students through the door
37%came back for more · 1 in 3
1,000+taught across the career
12businesses built · one a software company acquired by a global franchise

What it does

Everything a working artist needs to fill a room, and nothing that hands your customers to somebody else.

Oversell-proof booking

Atomic place-taking, concurrency-tested: when the last seat goes, it’s gone once. No double-sold places, no apologetic refund emails.

Venues, done properly

A real venue entity: run the same workshop across studios, halls and rooms without re-typing the address, map and details every time.

Sessions + places

Multi-session events with per-session capacity, prices and honest live status (full, low, sold out, past) shown straight to the buyer.

Embeddable widget

The workshops grid and booking modal drop into your site as blocks: your brand, your fonts, your colours. Nobody else’s logo in the corner.

Payment in the flow

Booking and payment in one pass, on your own Stripe, not a redirect to somebody else’s checkout, and no per-booking cut skimmed off the top.

Confirmations + your data

Booking confirmations fire automatically, and every booking lands in your engine, so you keep the customer relationship, not a marketplace.

Where it fits — honestly

We'll never sell you a dotted line as a solid one. Here's exactly what's proven, what's in test, and where it sits in the platform.

Live WordPress edition

Proven, taking real money

cp52-events takes real bookings for a working artist’s real workshops today: live on damiansemonin.art, with confirmations firing every week. Not a prototype.

Test engine edition

The no-WordPress successor

The same booking logic rebuilt into the WebDeck engine so it can power any owned site. The grid and modal run live on a preview in test mode, concurrency-tested. Live cutover waits on a careful booking reconciliation.

Included in the platform

Part of Silver & Gold

Events is a WebDeck engine, bundled into Silver (from £549) and the full Gold stack alongside CRM, shop and the rest: one owned platform, not seven subscriptions.

Being cut over to the engine now: the queue is real. The WordPress edition already earns its keep every week; the no-WordPress engine cutover is next, gated on a careful booking reconciliation. Register today and you’re first in line for the engine release and the packaged plugin: no fake countdown, just a genuine head start.

Your Stripe, your customers, your site: no lock-in.

The bookings run on your own Stripe and every customer lands in your engine, so there’s no marketplace holding your list hostage and no cut skimmed off each seat. And I won’t dress a dotted line as a solid one: the WordPress edition is proven live today, the engine edition is honestly in test, and I’ll tell you exactly which you’re getting before you commit a penny.

Fair questions

Is this actually live, or just a demo?

The WordPress edition, cp52-events, is genuinely live: it takes real bookings for a working artist’s real workshops on damiansemonin.art today, with confirmations firing. The no-WordPress engine edition is honestly still in test: the grid and booking modal run on a preview, concurrency-tested, but the live cutover waits on a careful booking reconciliation. I’ll always tell you which one you’re getting.

Can it really not oversell the last seat?

Right. Place-taking is atomic and concurrency-tested: two people hitting “book” on the last seat at the same instant can’t both succeed. One gets it, the other sees it’s gone. No double bookings, no apologetic refund emails.

What does it cost, and can I buy it right now?

The standalone plugin edition is £49 one-off: no per-booking cut, ever. Being straight with you: the self-serve checkout isn’t wired yet, so for now you register your interest and I’ll get you set up. No card is taken on this page. It’s also bundled into Silver (from £549) and Gold if you want the whole platform.

Whose Stripe and whose customer data is it?

Yours, on both counts. Payment runs through your own Stripe account and every booking lands in your engine. There’s no marketplace in the middle keeping your customer list or taking a slice of each seat.

Do I need WordPress?

For the proven edition today, yes — cp52-events is a WordPress plugin. The point of the WebDeck engine edition is to lift that same booking logic off WordPress so it can power any owned site; that’s the edition in test now. Register your interest and you’re first in line when it goes live.

Run your bookings on ground you own

Oversell-proof booking, on your own site and your own Stripe. Register your interest and you'll be first in the queue for the engine cutover and the packaged plugin: no card taken, no fake buy flow, just a genuine head start.
