Online collection
Items with photos and stories.
Museum collection catalogues, exhibitions & tickets
Museums: the collection, searchable online. Collections, exhibitions and bookings.
Collections only visible in person, exhibitions promoted on flyers and school visits booked by phone. We build online collections and booking systems for museums.
Looking for museum collection and ticketing software?
Museums hold stories most people never see. We build searchable online collections plus exhibitions, tickets and education bookings.
Wollopit builds booking systems, ticketing, enquiry flows and websites for museums around how your gigs and events actually run. We connect the tools you already use, cut out fees you don't need to pay and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to putting on a show.

What we hear from museums
Does your museum have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

04Services
Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for museums.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for museums
Built around how your museum actually runs: online collection, exhibition pages and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for museums
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Museum system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.
Apps and portals for museums
Ticketing and education bookings: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.
Integrations and automation
We connect Eventbrite, Humanitix and Stripe so information moves on its own and nobody retypes it.

Managed hosting, updates, backups and security for your museum, looked after by the people who built it.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your museum: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things museums ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can volunteers add items to the online collection?
Yes. Volunteers can catalogue items with photos and stories.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your museum. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can clients book and pay a deposit online?
Yes. Availability, packages, deposits, contracts and balance reminders can all run online without the back and forth.
Can it stop double bookings?
Yes. One live calendar covers every booking, every staff member and every piece of gear, so the same date can't be sold twice.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most museums we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
