What shipped, week by week.
Ollie changes most weeks, and nearly every change on this page started as a note from someone running their business on it. Newest first.
Free to build and run. No subscription, no setup fee. Ollie takes 5% only when you get paid. Stripe's card fees are separate and go to Stripe, not us.
Week of September 7
LatestA real inbox for requests, a booking time your customer can answer, and a website editor with one panel.
- Bookings
Requests is an inbox
The tabs ask a question instead of naming a status: All, Needs you, Upcoming, Waiting. Every request carries one plain state, opens in its own view, and Prev and Next walk the list you filtered. Your search and dates are still there when you come back.
- Bookings
Suggest a new time, and let the customer answer
Pick a better slot and send it. They get an email and a text with three ways to answer: take the new time, keep the one they had, or open your calendar and pick another. An accepted time moves the booking and confirms it, deposit link and all.
- Website
Publish a blog on your site
Write a post in Ollie and it goes live at /blog on your own site, inside your own header and footer. Cover image, excerpt, search and sharing settings, a private preview link while it is a draft, and an RSS feed.
- Website
Size and place images inside a post
Drag an image’s corner to size it, put it left, center or right, or drag it into a paragraph and the words run around it. Every image comes from your own photo library.
- Website
The editor is one panel
Page, Style and Photos down the left, canvas taking the rest. Colors and fonts come as ready-made sets you click rather than sliders you mix, and everything is named in plain words: Highlights, Reviews, Price list, Photo + text.
- Website
A photo gallery, and a Book bar on phones
Up to 24 photos in a grid that open large when tapped, two, three or four across. And an optional booking button pinned to the bottom of the screen on phones, which slides away wherever the same button is already on the page.
- Website
FAQ answers fold away
A question opens when it is tapped and the others close, with an icon per question if you want one. The old always-open card list is still there for sites built on it.
- Website
Four shapes for the service picker
Show the services on your form as photo cards, as rows with a small picture, as a plain list, or as a dropdown when your catalog is long. Two or three cards across, and the form card takes its own width.
- Website
The header button can be hidden
For a site whose one call to action is further down the page. It goes from the bar and from the phone menu together.
- Website
Full-height sections hold still on iPhone
A hero set to fill the screen used to appear to zoom as Safari’s toolbar collapsed on the first scroll. It stays put now.
- Clients
Edit a client, and keep as many notes as you like
Correct a name or a phone number and it is yours from then on, ahead of whatever the newest request said. Notes are written in the same editor as a blog post, one per note, newest first, and your client search reads them.
- Payments
Every invoice itemises its tax
Each rate or jurisdiction is listed by the name you gave it, on the invoice and in the email your customer gets.
- Payments
A taxes and fees report in Insights
What you collected in tax, what your customers covered in processing fees and what Ollie took, for this month, last month, this year or all time. Refunds are counted pro rata, because a refund gives the tax back too.
- Payments
Ollie’s fee comes back on more refunds
A refund you issue from your own Stripe dashboard, and a dispute that goes against you, now return Ollie’s share the same way a refund inside Ollie always has.
- Bookings
The booking pop-up keeps the calendar in view
On a wide screen the date column rides along as your customer fills in the rest of the form, rather than scrolling away.
- Your account
A lightbulb in your top bar
Press it whenever something slows you down and it goes straight on the board. Everything on this page started as one of those notes.
Week of August 31
Customers pay on your own page, services can bill every month, and nothing waits on Stripe any more.
- Payments
Customers pay on your own page
An invoice link opens a page of your site: the items, the subtotal, any processing fees, the discount, the tax broken down, the total, and then the card form. It is also where a promo code can be entered, which Stripe’s own invoice page never allowed.
- Payments
Promo codes on the request form
A customer can type a code as they book, and the estimate updates before they send anything.
- Payments
Recurring services
A service can bill every week, month or year as a subscription on your own Stripe account. Subscribe at booking or on approval, with the whole run visible under Payments.
- Payments
Passing fees on covers all of them
The switch now grosses up Ollie’s 5% as well as Stripe’s card fee, so a $180 job really does net you $180.
- Bookings
A reminder 24 hours before the job
Every confirmed booking gets one message to the customer the day before, by text where you have a number, by email otherwise, in the same thread as everything else.
- Bookings
The date and time picker is optional
A form can drop it entirely, for the business that would rather be asked what is needed and schedule it afterwards. You set the time from the request when you are ready.
- Website
Start from a finished design
Four complete designs, photography included, that you can flick through and apply to your page. They land as a draft, so nothing is published until you say so.
- Website
The form designer moved to its own page
Catalog, then Forms. Drag fields from a palette into a live preview, set each one in an inspector beside it, and it saves when you save rather than waiting on a publish.
- Website
Sections can fill the screen
Per device, so a hero can be full height on a laptop and short on a phone. Plus a logo strip block, and a services block that can be cards, rows or a plain list.
- Clients
A service can require a signed contract
Sent with the request, sent after payment, or held back for the day itself. Contracts also take placeholders for the price and the job address.
- Payments
Revenue nets out refunds
On the dashboard and in Insights. The revenue chart also gained a scale, an honest curve and a comparison against the period before.
- Payments
Discount codes come back
An expired or fully redeemed code can be reactivated instead of rebuilt, and an expiry date now means the end of that day where your business is, not somewhere else in the world.
- Your account
Nothing waits on Stripe
Build your catalog and your website first. Your public site shows a Coming soon page until payments are connected, and everything you made is mirrored to Stripe the moment you connect.
- Your account
Ollie’s emails to you are accountable
A send that a mail provider refuses now retries itself for a day rather than vanishing, and Settings, then Account, carries a switch for the ones that are not about a job.
- Website
Services is a list page and a page per service
The basics first, then how it is booked and paid, with the Save bar pinned to the bottom of the page so it is always in reach.
Week of August 24
A form for every service, sales tax done properly, and your own domain wired up without a support ticket.
- Website
A different form for every service
Up to eight named forms, each with its own questions, its own pop-up heading and its own date and time rules. Attach one to a service and picking that service swaps the questions.
- Website
Bring your own domain, automated
Type the address you want and Ollie names the exact records to add, reads your DNS provider off the domain and links to their guide, then checks the connection live. The apex and www are handled as a pair.
- Payments
Sales tax
Manage your rates from Payment settings, or let tax be computed from the customer’s address. Rates can apply only under a number of days, for the short-term rental taxes that work that way, and the invoice itemises what came from where.
- Bookings
Block off hours, not just whole days
A blackout can cover part of a day, and the calendar marks those days differently from the ones you are closed.
- Bookings
Approve first or book instantly, per service
Set it on the service itself, along with the job length, a fee for unusually short or long rentals, and drop-off and pick-up date ranges.
- Website
Undo and redo
Command Z steps back through everything in the editor, colors and moves included, not just the last thing you typed.
- Website
More pages than one
Add pages to your site, link them from the header, and reorder sections inside the list as well as on the canvas. The built-in sections can be removed and brought back.
- Website
Colors down to the card
Color the cards inside a section, color your prices, size each section’s heading, and let a background photo move as the page scrolls.
- Website
Four more blocks
A feature grid, a wall of reviews, a price list and an announcement bar above the header.
- Your account
A welcome flow that leads with getting paid
New owners are walked through connecting payments, choosing a design and publishing, rather than dropped on an empty dashboard.
- Your account
The dashboard works on a phone
The whole admin is responsive now. The website editor still asks for a wider screen, because it is a canvas.
Week of August 17
The editor grew up: real typography, reusable button designs, version history and an asset library.
- Website
Choose your typefaces
A curated set of Google fonts for headings and body, with weight, case, line height, letter spacing and overall size in a panel of their own.
- Website
Buttons are a design you can name and reuse
Draw a button once, name it, and use it on any section. Fill, label, border, radius, padding, case and shadow, all of it.
- Website
A header worth opening
A wide logo that can speak for the business name, logo scaling, header colors that the text follows, a link checker, and a choice of where the header button goes.
- Website
Version history and drafts that keep themselves
Every publish is kept and can be restored, and your unpublished work survives a closed tab.
- Website
Publishing shows you what it would publish
A review of every change since the last publish, in plain words, before anything goes live.
- Website
An asset library
Every photo you upload is kept in one place with its details and filters, drag a photo onto the page to place it, and a picture still in use on your site cannot be deleted by accident.
- Website
A canvas at real size
Zoom, phone and tablet frames, click anywhere in a section to select it, and sections that scroll clear of your own sticky header.
- Payments
Refund a paid invoice
In part or in full, from the invoice itself, with what it will cost you shown before the money moves.
- Clients
Clients can be added, imported and exported
Bring a spreadsheet in, take a CSV out.
- Your account
One login, more than one business
Open a second business and switch between them from the sidebar.
- Website
Your address types itself
The storefront address is suggested from your business name as you register, with a live check that it is free.
Week of August 10
Bookings you approve, jobs with a length, and your own mark on the tab.
- Bookings
Bookings wait for your approval
A request asks for a time, you confirm it, and only then does the slot leave your public calendar. Jobs also carry a length, so the slots offered match the work.
- Website
Your logo is your site’s favicon
The tab icon on your storefront is your own mark, with Ollie’s as the fallback until you upload one.
- Website
The carousel drags
With a mouse as well as a finger, and a flick carries it along.
Week of August 3
Site settings became one place, the sections list became a layer tree, and the business got a memory.
- Website
Site settings in one place
Identity, search and sharing, your domain and your own analytics tags, as one dialog you open from the editor. Live length hints on the share title and description, and a share image you can pick from your library.
- Website
The sections list is a layer tree
Every section and block in one list, each with an eye to hide it, and the Add palette folded into the same panel.
- Website
An image carousel
A swipeable strip of up to ten photos, as a block you can drop anywhere.
- Clients
Clients, insights and where requests come from
The people who have booked you, gathered from their requests, invoices and messages, and a page that ranks the sources your requests arrive from by what they were worth.
- Your account
Your brand outlives your website
Name, logo, colors and contact details became a Business page of their own, because your invoices and emails wear them whether or not a site is published.
Ollie has been building since July 2026. The weeks before these were the first version taking shape.
Tell us what to build next.
Start free, and the moment something slows you down, say so. There is a lightbulb in the top bar of your dashboard for exactly that. It opens the board below, which is public, and it is where most of this page came from.
