Frequently Asked Questions

It means things happen automatically, without you having to think about them. When a client emails you, their info gets logged. When someone books a call, they get a confirmation. When an invoice is paid, your records update. All by default—without you lifting a finger.

Small business owners, solopreneurs, consultants, coaches, and service providers who are tired of repetitive tasks stealing their time. If you're doing something manually that feels like it should "just happen," we can probably help.

Nope! We work with clients anywhere. Everything is done remotely via video calls, email, and screen sharing. We've worked with clients across the US and internationally.

We focus on practical solutions that actually save you time—not flashy designs that look good but don't work for your business. We also combine websites AND automation, so everything works together. And we explain things in plain English, not tech jargon.

A simple 1-page site takes about 5-7 business days. A standard 5-page site takes 2-3 weeks. Larger sites (10-20 pages) take 3-6 weeks. These timelines assume you provide content and feedback promptly.

Yes, you'll need to provide the text, photos, and your logo. But don't worry if it's not perfect—we can help edit and polish what you have. If you're really stuck, we can discuss content writing as an add-on service.

Absolutely. Every website we build is fully responsive—meaning it looks and works great on phones, tablets, and desktop computers. This is non-negotiable in 2025.

It depends on how we build it. For simple text and image changes, we can set you up. For anything more complex, our hosting plans include updates so you don't have to worry about it. Many clients prefer this—it's one less thing to think about.

Generally, no. We've found that for most small business sites, static sites are faster, more secure, and require less maintenance. But if you have a specific need for WordPress (like a complex blog or e-commerce), we can discuss options.

Almost anything repetitive! Common examples: email responses, client onboarding, appointment reminders, invoice follow-ups, data entry, report generation, social media posting, file organization, and notification systems. If you do it more than once, it might be automatable.

We use whatever makes sense for your situation. This might include Zapier, Make.com, n8n, Python scripts, or native integrations. We'll recommend the best approach based on your needs, budget, and existing tools.

We try to avoid vendor lock-in. We'll use tools that give you flexibility and, where possible, we'll document everything so you (or another developer) can maintain it if needed.

Automations occasionally need adjustments when the tools they connect to update. Our ongoing support plans include monitoring and maintenance. Without a support plan, we offer reasonable rates for fixes and updates.

It depends on size and complexity. Simple 1-page sites start around $XXX. Standard 5-page business sites are typically $X,XXX-X,XXX. We provide exact quotes after understanding your needs—no surprises.

Yes, we typically require 50% upfront to begin work, with the remainder due upon completion. For larger projects, we may break payments into milestones.

We accept credit cards, bank transfers (ACH), and checks. We'll send you a simple invoice with payment instructions.

The website build is a one-time cost. Hosting is optional and billed monthly. You'll also need to pay for your domain name (usually ~$15/year) through your registrar. Some automation tools have their own subscription costs, which we'll discuss upfront.
