When the website is the least of it.
Some businesses do not need a better website. They need the software the business actually runs on. Customers sign in. Crews work off the schedule. Invoices go out, and a technician carries the whole job on a phone. The website is one screen of that. It is a different kind of build, and it starts from $25,000.
You already know if this is you.
The work is not in the pages. It is in what has to happen after somebody books, pays, or logs in — and in whatever your staff is currently holding together by hand.
Your customers need accounts
They want their history, their documents, and their invoices in one place, instead of in an email thread nobody can find on the phone.
Your staff runs on spreadsheets
The schedule, the job list and the price book all live in files three people edit, and by Friday afternoon nobody quite trusts any of them.
The work happens in the field
Somebody needs the job on a phone, with the photos and the signature attached to it before they drive away.
The software behind the counter.
Scoped to what the business actually does, and built to be run by the people who work there rather than by us.
Customer logins and portals
A signed-in customer can read their history, pull a document, find an invoice and see where the job stands without picking up the phone.
A CRM that fits how you sell
Leads captured where they land, assigned to a person, and followed through, instead of read once and lost in an inbox.
Booking and scheduling
Customers see real availability and pay a deposit as they book. One calendar counts, so no Saturday gets booked twice.
Internal tools that replace spreadsheets
The job list, the price book and the checklists move into something that enforces its own rules and keeps a history of every change.
A mobile app where the job calls for one
iPhone or Android. Built for the people doing the work, not the people selling it.
None of this would be a first.
This is what the studio builds when it is not building websites. Every line below is work already written, shipped, and kept running.
CRM
Leads captured, assigned, and tracked from first contact to the finished job.
Scheduling
Calendars and availability that dispatch works from. The deposit is taken at the booking.
Bookkeeping and invoicing
Invoices raised, payments recorded, and the reporting that follows from both.
Customer logins and portals
Accounts, documents, and job history behind a sign-in that holds up.
Mobile apps
Native apps in the hands of the people doing the work, not just the office.
What it costs, and why the monthly is not optional.
A system is scoped and quoted like the software it is, from $25,000. What moves the number is how much of the business it has to hold.
The monthly is $750 a month, and it is required rather than offered.
Two reasons, and neither is a sales tactic. Software holding customer accounts and payment data cannot sit unpatched, so maintenance is not a line to decline. And at this size, a build with no support behind it is a gap in the offer rather than a saving.
It covers patching and dependency upgrades, monitoring, backups that get restored from and not just taken, and the changes the business needs as it grows. It is priced inside the band the industry uses for business-critical software, and well under what an SLA-backed retainer costs.
Tell us what the business actually does.
Not what the website should say — what happens on a Tuesday. Who books, who pays, who has to be told, and what everyone is keeping in a spreadsheet in the meantime. That conversation costs nothing, and it usually settles whether you need a system or a website.
