A site that sells and tells
The mission and the offer designed together, so the reason to buy from you is on the product page and in the checkout, not only on the about page.

Social enterprise websites that sell and tell.
A shop or booking flow that competes commercially, and a mission shown rather than claimed.
What a website from Nexus Studio gives social enterprises.
A social enterprise website from Nexus Studio does two jobs at once: it sells, and it tells. Customers need a shop, a booking page or an enquiry form that works as well as any commercial competitor's, and they need to see the mission that makes buying from you different, with the impact counted and shown rather than claimed. We design both journeys together so a sale and a story reinforce each other, then build the site as bespoke software you own, connected to your payments, stock, CRM or booking tools. Cooperatives get a members area, impact start ups get pages built for funders and investors, and sustainability brands get a site fast and light enough to match what they stand for. We stay on as your digital partner after launch. Prices start from £199 per month plus a one off setup fee based on what you need, with the full cost in a written proposal before any work begins.

Search, content and email for the customers, funders and partners who choose on values, measured so you know which stories convert.
See all our servicesHow it works
Four steps, for social enterprises.
01
Define the double bottom line
What does a sale fund, in a unit a customer understands? We settle that first, because it shapes the shop, the copy and the counters.
02
Design mission and shop together
The product page carries the impact, the checkout confirms it and the thank you page proves it, so the story never sits apart from the sale.
03
Build commerce and the impact counter
The shop or booking flow, payments, stock and the live counter drawn from real orders, built as software you own with a members area if you are a cooperative.
04
Launch and grow
After launch we track revenue and impact side by side and keep improving the pages that move both, as your digital partner rather than a supplier.
How we work with social enterprises
- Impact is counted from real orders and shown live, so the mission is proven rather than claimed.
- You get a written proposal with the full cost before any work begins, and prices start from £199 per month plus a one off setup fee.
- The site is built as software you own and can grow, from first shop to members area.

Request a reviewQuestions social enterprises ask us.
Yes. We build the shop or booking flow as part of the site, connected to your payments, stock and fulfilment, with the impact of each purchase shown at the product and in the checkout where it influences the decision.
Your registered name and company number should be shown, and being clear about your structure helps customers and funders trust you. We design that honesty in, alongside the mission, rather than hiding it.
You define the unit, such as meals, lessons, trees or hours, and how each product or booking contributes. The counter then updates from real orders, so the number on the site is always true and never typed in by hand.
Yes. A section that presents your model, your impact to date and your plans in the format funders expect, with reports and figures kept current from the same data as the rest of the site.
Yes. A members area with sign in, documents, votes or notices, and each member's own record, built into the same site so the public shop and the members' space share one platform you own.
Let's count the impact.
