Same company, same team — two ways to get your dealership online.
You may have started to see the name MotoVend alongside DealerWebs. It's a new product from the same company and the same team, built for a different kind of dealer. Here's what it is, who each one suits, and why nothing changes if you're already with DealerWebs.
In a nutshell
DealerWebs designs, builds and looks after your website for you, and connects it to the systems you already run. MotoVend is for dealers who would rather do it themselves: a self-build website and dealer management platform in one account, for cars, motorcycles, vans, caravans, motorhomes and trucks. Both come from Creativity Sells Ltd, which has worked with the UK motor trade since 2006.
Two approaches, not two tiers
Neither is a bigger or better version of the other. They suit different ways of running a dealership. With DealerWebs, you tell us what you want, and our designers and developers build it, run it and keep improving it with you. With MotoVend, you sign up, choose your layout, add your stock and publish when you're ready, all from one account.
DealerWebs suits you if…
- you want a website designed, built and looked after for you
- you already run a dealer management system and want your website connected to it
- you sell parts, clothing or accessories online as well as vehicles
- you're a franchised dealer who needs a manufacturer-approved website
MotoVend suits you if…
- you'd rather build and run your own website, in your own time
- you want your website, stock, enquiries and AutoTrader in one place
- you like the idea of one plan, priced by the stock you have, with no setup fee
- you want to try it for yourself first, with a free trial and no card needed
Already with DealerWebs? Nothing changes. Your website, your integrations, your support and the people you speak to all stay exactly as they are. MotoVend is a separate product for dealers who want to do it themselves, and there's nothing you need to do.
A word on dealer management systems
Many DealerWebs customers run their business on a dedicated dealer management system, with their website connected to it so stock flows straight through. That's the right set-up for them, and DealerWebs carries on connecting to the DMS partners we work with.
MotoVend is built for dealers who don't run a separate system and would rather keep the essentials beside their website: stock, enquiries and follow-ups, sales invoices and a stock book. It's deliberately light, and it isn't trying to replace a full dealer management system.
Six vehicle types, one MotoVend account
MotoVend was built for every part of the independent trade. A dealer who sells more than one type of vehicle runs them all from the same account, each with the details its buyers look for.
Cars
Type in a registration and the details fill themselves in. Connect AutoTrader to bring your stock in or publish it out, and show finance through iVendi, Codeweavers or Evolution Funding, or a built-in HP calculator. See car dealer websites with MotoVend.
Motorcycles
Riders do their homework on a phone, often well before the season starts. Registration lookup, AutoTrader and finance come built in — see MotoVend for independent bike dealers. Franchised motorcycle dealers who want manufacturers' new model ranges on their website should look at DealerWebs.
Vans
Van buyers are working buyers: they shop on payload, wheelbase and whether the price is plus VAT, and they want the facts fast. MotoVend's van dealer websites come with registration lookup and an internal load length on every van.
Caravans
Caravan buyers filter by layout and berths first, then condition and budget, and they study every photo before they visit. MotoVend's caravan dealer website builder is set up around how they shop.
Motorhomes
A motorhome or campervan is a big, considered buy, researched for weeks and compared on berths, layout and base vehicle. MotoVend gives motorhome and campervan dealers a website that does that stock justice.
Trucks
Rigids, tractor units and trailers all have a place. Truck buyers want the specification before they pick up the phone, so truck dealer websites on MotoVend include registration lookup and a minimum load length filter.
What every MotoVend website gets
- A proper page builder: sections, layouts of up to five columns and 32 content blocks. See the MotoVend dealer website builder.
- SEO tools: title templates for every make and model, and landing pages for the searches buyers make. More on dealer website SEO.
- A blog built in, for the news and advice that bring buyers to your site.
- AutoTrader and eBay Motors Pro publishing.
- AI vehicle descriptions in five writing styles.
- Your own web address, with a secure certificate set up for you.

The bottom line
