Built for the plate trade ## Number plate websites, leased like software Generic ecommerce treats a number plate like a t-shirt: a product with a photo and a price. A real plate business needs a builder where the product is designed live by the customer, priced by style, size and extras, and carried through basket, checkout and order paperwork without anything being lost. That is what our platform does, and it is all it does. We design and build your complete number plate website, then run it for you on a monthly retainer. Your customers design plates on a live builder, your team manages orders through a clean branded console, and hosting, security and software updates stay our responsibility for as long as you subscribe. [Get a free quote](https://www.rivmedia.co.uk/contact-us/) ✓ **A live plate builder** with instant preview: sizes, styles, badges, borders, slogans and live pricing. ✓ **A unique custom design** built around your existing logo and identity, not a template with your logo in the corner. ✓ **Launched your way**: on your domain, a subdomain beside your current site, or a new domain we set up for you. ✓ **Already trading** for UK plate retailers, so you launch on a platform proven under real orders. What your subscription includes ## Everything a plate website needs, in one plan 01 ### The builder Your customer types a registration and watches the plate render in front of them, priced live as they build, and the whole flow works one-handed on a phone. - 3D gel, 4D laser, carbon and hex styles - Every size from standard oblong to motorbike and square rear - Badges, borders, slogans and accessory cross-sells - Deep links that land visitors on a pre-loaded plate - A pricing engine your team adjusts themselves 02 ### The storefront A shop tuned for plate buyers rather than adapted from a generic template. - Style landing pages written to rank - Quick order forms, basket and checkout built for plates - Product pages for fitting kits and extras - Order document collection with secure customer upload links - Conversion detail from our [ecommerce work](https://www.rivmedia.co.uk/ecommerce-websites/) throughout 03 ### The service Managed hosting, security, monitoring, software updates and support on one flat monthly retainer. - UK [business hosting](https://www.rivmedia.co.uk/business-hosting/) we run and stand behind - Security hardening and around-the-clock monitoring - Platform improvements roll out to your site as we ship them - Priority support from the people who wrote the code Three ways to launch ## On your domain, beside your site, or from scratch Every plate business starts from a different place, so the platform deploys to fit yours. A ### Your primary domain If your domain is free or your current site is due for replacement, we launch the full plate website directly on it, so all your search authority builds in one place. B ### A subdomain beside your site Already have a website you want to keep? We set the builder and store up on a subdomain such as builder.yourdomain.co.uk, linked seamlessly from your existing pages. C ### No domain yet Starting fresh? We help you register the right domain, then handle the whole setup: site, email deliverability, analytics and search essentials, ready to trade. Run the shop, not the software ## Your team gets a branded console. We keep the engine running. You should be pressing plates and answering customers, not patching WordPress. Because the platform is leased as a service, the maintenance burden is permanently ours: hosting, security, updates, caching and monitoring. Your staff log in to a clean branded console built for shop work, with the clutter of a normal admin stripped away. ✓ **Orders, customers and coupons** in a simplified admin your staff can run without training days. ✓ **Plate pricing and styles** adjustable by your team, while anything that could break the platform stays with us. ✓ **Your brand, front and centre.** A unique design with its own layout, copy and search positioning: two sites that look and read the same cannot both rank. ✓ **Proven in production.** Checkout flows tuned against genuine buyer behaviour, payment and courier edge cases fixed under real traffic. When it improves for one client, it improves for all. Simple commercials ## A custom design setup fee, then one monthly retainer Your initial setup fee covers the unique design, branding, build and launch of your site. From then on, a single flat monthly retainer covers the platform licence, hosting, security, updates, priority support and continuous improvement. Think software subscription, not website project. [Get a tailored quote](https://www.rivmedia.co.uk/contact-us/) [See pricing](https://www.rivmedia.co.uk/pricing/) ✓ **No surprise maintenance invoices** and no ransom pricing when something needs fixing. ✓ **No bespoke codebase** quietly rotting because nobody owns it: the engine is maintained daily. ✓ **Weeks, not months** from brief to live, because the plate engine already exists. Beyond the builder ## DVLA search and valuation, at serious scale For registration dealers we’ve gone further: personalised plate search across the full DVLA dataset with AI-assisted valuation engines, fast enough to browse like a shop, deep enough to price like a trader. If your business trades registrations rather than acrylic, this is the harder problem we’ve already solved. **72M+**DVLA registrations searchable **AI**Assisted plate valuation engines Good questions ## Questions plate businesses actually ask **So we lease the website rather than own it?** Yes, and we are upfront about that because it is the whole point of the model. You own your brand, your domain and your customer data outright. The website and the plate platform are leased as part of your retainer, which is what keeps the monthly flat, the software updated and the responsibility for keeping it all running with us rather than you. **What happens if we cancel?** Your brand and domain stay yours, and we hand over your customer and order data in standard formats. The leased platform itself retires with the subscription. There is no lock-in on the things that are genuinely yours. **We already have a website. Do we have to replace it?** No. If your current site is doing its job, we launch the plate builder and store on a subdomain such as builder.yourdomain.co.uk and link the two together seamlessly. If you would rather consolidate, we can launch on your primary domain instead. **We do not have a domain or any of the technical basics yet.** Not a problem. We help you register the right domain and handle the full setup: the site itself, email deliverability, analytics and the search engine essentials, so you start trading on solid foundations rather than patching gaps later. **Do we need to be a registered number plate supplier?** Selling road-legal plates in the UK requires your own supplier registration, and meeting the legal requirements of plate retail is your responsibility as the seller. The platform gives you strong tooling to support your processes, including customer document collection on orders, but compliance itself sits with your business. **Can our staff manage orders and prices themselves?** That is the point of the console. Your team manage orders, customers, coupons, plate pricing and styles through a simplified branded admin, while anything that could break the platform stays with us. **We already sell plates elsewhere. Can you migrate us?** Yes. We have migrated plate catalogues, customers and order history into the platform before, including from Shopify, and we plan [migrations](https://www.rivmedia.co.uk/wordpress-migration-services/) so trading never stops. **How fast can we launch?** A typical build goes from brief to live in weeks, not months, because the plate engine already exists. Most of the timeline is your branding, content and product decisions rather than development. ## Start selling plates the modern way. Tell us about your plate business, acrylic, registrations or both. We’ll show you the platform live and quote a fixed build price.
