Towpath Digital makes small, affordable software for UK small businesses. A free directory that helps you get found. A three-page website you build from your answers and a person checks. A way to quote, run the job and invoice, opening area by area. Each one does one job and has its own published price.
No bloated all-in-one. No twelve-month contract. Start with the one job that's costing you customers or cash this month — add another when you're ready.
A free UK directory of trades and local services: more than 100,000 businesses listed from public records, free to claim, with no lead fees and no commission. Reviews are confirmed by email before they count. Top Pal is paid featured placement at £15/mo, always labelled Featured.
What it costsFree to list · optional Top Pal £15/mo, labelled Featured. See GotAPal →One link takes the customer from quote to invoice: they tap to accept, you do the work, and the invoice goes out on the same link. Behind it sits the part most job software leaves out: every tool and machine you own with its serial, receipt and calibration date, a break-in list for the police and the insurer, and a board that shows which property certificates are missing. ServicePay is in early launch, onboarding trades area by area.
What it costs£39/mo for up to 3 people · Compliance £49/mo · opening area by area. See ServicePay →A three-page website for a trade or small business.

Low prices, published, with no long contracts. Your data stays yours, we never sell anyone's details, and a person checks the parts a customer will rely on.
Small, affordable software, checked by people where it counts. Software does the repetitive work; a person (at 3 Wee Pages we call them Pals) checks what a customer will rely on before it goes live. Your data stays yours: take an export with you, or ask us to delete it.
No contracts, no surprise charges, no call with sales. Tell us the job that's costing you customers or cash, and we'll point you at the product that fixes it — honestly, even if that's "you don't need us yet".
