Work with me

Let me build your escape room website

I'm an escape room owner who builds fast, modern, high-converting websites for other escape room owners. Free build for the first five — then $50/month to host it and keep making it better.

Who you'd be working with

Hi, I'm Steve — an escape room owner, like you

My name is Steve Nicoll. For the last five years I've owned and run Escape Rooms Wellington. I started out back in October 2014 with Escape Hour in Edinburgh, then set up Escape Rooms Belfast. That's more than a decade of running escape rooms across three cities and two countries.

I'm not an agency that picked escape rooms out of a hat. I live this business. So when I build your site, I already know what a player is looking for, why they bounce, and what turns a browser into a booking — because I've spent years figuring it out on my own.

Want to see exactly how I work before you talk to me? The entire method is laid out, free, in the build series. If you read even half of it, you'll get a good feel for whether I'm the right person to do this for you.

Why this isn't a normal agency

You get me — and a lot more of my time

I treat your site like my own

I'm constantly watching and improving my own escape room website. Every worthwhile thing I find — a speed win, a better way to show pricing, a higher-converting layout — I'll roll onto your site too, as if it were mine.

Personal contact, not a ticket queue

You deal with me directly — far more personal contact than you'd ever get from a normal agency. We get to know each other, and I stay involved long after the site goes live.

I speak escape room

I've run sites through four booking systems — Bookeo, Resova, Booking Phoenix and now Off The Couch — and I'm always chasing better hosting, better tools, anything that lifts sales. You won't have to explain your own industry to me.

The offer

A free build for the first five owners

  • Free website build for the first five escape room owners who give me a go. No build fee at all.
  • After that, $50 USD / month to host your site and keep it maintained and improving.
  • For my first few clients I'll grandfather that $50 founding rate for as long as you're happy to trust me with your website — even as the price goes up for everyone who comes later.

I'm doing this to get the snowball rolling — real sites, real owners, real results. Getting in early is genuinely the best deal I'll ever offer.

Straight talk

What I can — and can't — promise

I've always built websites with one aim: get to the top of Google and stay there. But I'll be honest with you — most escape room websites are never going to hit number one, and I'm not going to promise you that they will.

What I will do is build you a site that, in all probability, climbs the rankings over time. Beyond that, it's in the lap of the Google gods, and anyone who guarantees you the top spot is selling you something.

What I can be sure of: you'll get a great-looking, modern, fast website that's built to do one thing — turn the visitors you already have into bookings.
