Check out the fresh new site for "Button Kin Games", my lovely wife's game development studio!

It's running on the latest version of the Chobble Template with loads of snazzy page layout bits built-in, plus integration with Chobble Tickets for play test bookings, and because my wife is also a massive nerd she's customised each product page with custom CSS and background images

Super fast loading, integrated with third party services, very SEO friendly, yeahhhh!

After 24 months in "read only" mode, your database will be deleted

You can continue to pay for a full year up front, at £50 per year - a £10 saving!

Coming soon to Chobble Tickets - monthly payments!

I had been waiting for my excellent web host, Bunny, to update their APIs to let me create databases on-the-fly, and they've now done it

The monthly price will be £5, which means you can save £10 by paying annually - where the price will remain at £50

Stay tuned!

10% of Chobble's profits are donated to The Against Malaria Foundation, whose insecticide-treated nets are one of the most cost-effective ways to save lives. Over 600,000 people died from malaria in 2024, and children account for around 75% of those deaths.

Here's the donation for January to April 2026

On my Chobble Tickets system, you might want people to be able to buy tickets on the door, but you might not have a physical card reader. With the Booking QR code generator, you can make a code that walk-in attendees can scan with their phones, which will take them straight to Stripe - where they can pay with Apple or Google Pay

This is included in all packages - there are no premium upsells or gated features on Chobble Tickets - for £50/year with no cut of your sales

Check out the site for Little Monsters Event Hire at https://www.monstereventhire.co.uk

They had a Wordpress site which looked great, but updates and maintenance were becoming a burden and it needed a performance update and refresh - it had outdated and broken scripts that were affecting page load times

I mirrored their site and converted it to the Chobble Template, keeping the current design completely but replacing the innards with a "static" site that loads instantly and is built with all modern tech and minimal scripting so it's fast on all devices

The migration wasn't without its hiccups - the old site used a lot of Wordpress redirections and translating those was fiddly, but we got it done and now it'll be smooth sailing

I'm not precious about design at Chobble - if you like your existing site and want to keep it - great!

Many thanks to Dave and Joanne for choosing Chobble - onwards and upwards!
