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. Live and taking real bookings today — the engine edition, Gather, off WordPress entirely.
The promise
Every seat sold once, every booking in one place of your 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:
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 live 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 site. The grid and booking modal run live on damiansemonin.art, concurrency-tested, taking the real bookings since July 2026.
Included in the platform
Part of Bookings & Events and Gold
Events is a WebDeck engine, bundled into WebDeck Bookings & Events (£39/mo) and the whole deck in Gold (£1,050 a year) alongside CRM, support desk and the rest: one platform, not seven subscriptions.
What you get
The whole booking engine: standalone plugin from £49
The full events flow packaged as the cp52-events WordPress plugin: everything below, on your site, on your Stripe. One price, no per-booking cut. Or take it inside the platform; it’s bundled into WebDeck Bookings & Events and Gold.

Honest status: the plugin is proven live but the self-serve checkout isn’t wired yet, so this registers your interest. No card is taken. See the plugin edition or take it inside Bookings & Events or Gold.
Being cut over to the engine now: the queue is real. The engine edition earns its keep every week on a live artist's site; the WordPress plugin edition is still being packaged. 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 engine edition is live today, the WordPress plugin is still being packaged, 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 live: the grid and booking modal take the real bookings on damiansemonin.art, concurrency-tested. 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 Bookings & Events edition buys online — monthly or annual — or email me and I confirm your plan first. No card is taken on this page. It’s also bundled into WebDeck Bookings & Events (£39/mo) and Gold (£1,050/yr) 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 site; that’s the edition running live now, sold as WebDeck Bookings & Events (£39/mo).
Run your bookings in one place of your own
Fill the room without handing your customers to a marketplace.
Oversell-proof booking, on your own site and your own Stripe. The engine edition is live and on sale online (£39 a month); the WordPress plugin is register-interest until it's packaged. No card is taken on this page.
