The platform

A website is one part of it.

Most people meet Blinki as a website. It isn't. It's the platform underneath a small business — the domain, the mailboxes, the phone number, the billing and the customer records — with the website sitting on top as one thing you switch on.

One login · one bill · one company to ring

What Blinki actually runs

Six things, one platform.

Each one is normally a separate company, a separate login and a separate bill.

Your websiteOne of six
Built by you, or by our York team. Hosting, SSL, backups and the CDN come with it — there's nothing to install and nothing to renew separately.
Your domainRegistered in your name
Searched, bought and renewed inside Blinki, or transferred in free. The registration is yours — you can take it away whenever you like.
Your mailboxesyou@yourbusiness.co.uk
Real mailboxes on your own domain, with webmail, IMAP, aliases, forwarding and spam filtering. Not a forwarding trick pointed at Gmail.
Your phone numberA real UK landline
Pick a city or area code, and it rings your mobile. Call handling, voicemail and missed-call alerts included — your mobile number stays private.
Your enquiriesEverything in one place
Form submissions, calls and emails land in the same record, so you can see who got in touch and what happened next without keeping a spreadsheet.
Your billingOne invoice, itemised
Every part of the stack on a single monthly bill with its own line, plus proper invoices and receipts. Cancel any piece without unpicking the rest.

Buy those six separately and you're dealing with a web designer, a registrar, a mailbox host, a phone provider, a form tool and an accountant's spreadsheet. That's five companies to ring when something breaks, and nobody who owns the whole thing.

Why it's built this way

The website isn't the product.

Change the site, keep everything else

Redesign it, rebuild it, or hand it to somebody else entirely — your domain, mailboxes, number and records don't move. The site is the part that's meant to change.

Nothing is held hostage

The domain is registered to you. Your content, your customer list and your mailboxes are exportable. If you leave, you leave with the lot — that's written into our terms, not just promised here.

One company is accountable

When the site is down, the email bounces and the phone doesn't ring, it's the same number to call — 01904 379155 — and the same people who set it all up.

Coming

Direct access to the platform.

We're opening the same platform up to agencies and developers who want to run their own front end on top of it — bring your own site, keep Blinki underneath for the domain, mail, number, enquiries and billing. If that's useful to you, tell us what you'd want from it and we'll bring you in early.

One login. One bill.

Set up free and pay to publish the website. Everything else is live from the moment you buy it.
