What we build

Seven kinds of work. Every one starts at a published price.

  1. Online booking Customers book, pay a deposit and get reminders without calling you. See the details
  2. Client portals Documents, invoices, requests and status behind one login. See the details
  3. Owner dashboards The handful of numbers you check every week, on one screen. See the details
  4. Direct ordering and booking Orders and bookings that go straight to you, with no marketplace cut. See the details
  5. Front-desk automation A missed call gets a text back. A new lead gets a follow-up. See the details
  6. iOS apps An iPhone app published under your own Apple developer account. See the details
  7. Practice platforms Booking, intake and messaging shaped like your practice. See the details

How a build runs

Five steps. Each one leaves something in writing.

  1. Scoping call

    Thirty minutes by phone or video, free. You describe the problem. We say plainly if a $16 to $50 a month tool will do.

  2. Written proposal

    A fixed price, what is and is not included, and a ship date written into the contract. Half is due at signing.

  3. Build in staging

    Click through the work as it grows. A written status lands every week: what shipped, what is next, what we need.

  4. Acceptance checklist

    We run it with you in the view your staff and customers will use. The second half is due when it passes.

  5. Launch and care

    Launch with automatic rollback. If a checklist item cannot pass within 30 days, the final 50% is refunded. Care starts at $149 a month.
