Number Plate Websites
Leased Like Software

Rivmedia designs and builds complete number plate websites for UK plate businesses, then runs them for you on a monthly retainer. Your customers design plates on a live builder, your team manages orders through a clean branded console, and the hosting, security and software updates stay our responsibility for as long as you subscribe. It is number plate ecommerce delivered the way modern software is delivered: as a service.

NUMBER PLATE WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

Built for the Plate Trade, Not Adapted to It

Generic ecommerce platforms treat a number plate like a t-shirt: a product with a photo and a price. A real plate business needs a plate builder website 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. Every site we launch is a bespoke number plate website design on proven plate ecommerce software, already trading for UK plate retailers today.

Plate Luxe

THE PLATE BUILDER

A Live Plate Builder Your Customers Will Actually Enjoy

Your customer types a registration and watches the plate render in front of them: 3D gel, 4D laser, carbon and hex styles, every plate size from standard oblong to motorbike and square rear, badges, borders and slogans. The price updates live as they build, deep links let your marketing land visitors on a pre-loaded plate, and the whole flow works one-handed on a phone. By the time they reach checkout, they have already seen exactly what will arrive.

WHAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION INCLUDES

Everything a Plate Website Needs, In One Plan

The Builder

Instant plate preview, style and size logic, badge and border options, slogans, accessory cross-sells in the build flow, and a pricing engine your team can adjust themselves.

The Storefront

Quick order forms, basket and checkout tuned for plate buyers, product pages for fitting kits and extras, and order document collection with secure customer upload links.

The Service

Managed hosting, security, monitoring, software updates and support on one flat monthly retainer, with platform improvements rolling out to your site as we ship them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

YOUR BRAND, FRONT AND CENTRE

A Unique Custom Design, Built Around Your Branding

This is not a template with your logo dropped in the corner. Your initial setup includes a unique design built around your existing logo, colours and identity, with its own layout, copy and search positioning. That matters commercially as well as cosmetically: plate retail is competitive, and two sites that look and read the same cannot both rank. Yours will not look like anyone else on the platform.

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: orders, customers, products, coupons, analytics and plate settings, with the clutter of a normal admin stripped away.

PROVEN IN PRODUCTION

Already Trading for UK Plate Retailers

The platform is not a prototype looking for its first user. It already powers live client plate stores taking real orders every day, and it improves continuously because of them: checkout flows tuned against genuine buyer behaviour, payment and courier edge cases found and fixed in production, and performance work done under real traffic. When the platform gets better for one client, it gets better for every client, and that compounding is exactly what your retainer buys.

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: no surprise maintenance invoices, no ransom pricing when something needs fixing, and no bespoke codebase quietly rotting because nobody owns it.

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 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.

Ready to Launch Your Plate Brand?

Tell us where you are, whether that is an idea, a part-time operation or an established retailer that has outgrown its platform, and we will show you exactly what your number plate website would look like and cost. No pressure, no obligation, and you will be talking to the people who write the code.
