Every one is a real build with a fixed price and a delivery window. Next to each is the arithmetic showing what it has to save or earn before it has paid for itself. Check the maths against your own business, then come and tell me where I am wrong.
Fixed price agreed before anything starts. No hourly, no retainer, no surprise invoice. Or browse all 76.
Read this before you read the numbers.
The price is what I charge to build it. That part is firm and it does not move after we agree it.
The payback line is arithmetic, not a case study. It takes the assumption printed beside it and divides. If that assumption is wrong for your business then the number is wrong for your business, and I would rather you told me so than believed it. I have no interest in selling you a payback that never arrives.
Seven are marked Running now. That means the exact thing described already exists and runs today, either for a client or in my own work, so the build risk is close to zero. The other thirty-four I would build from parts I have built before. That is a weaker claim and I am not dressing it up as the first one.
Nothing matches that combination. Try another filter.
All of these attack the same problem: people who would have bought from you never found you, or found you and were never followed up.
Type in any local business. It reads their Google profile and website, scores the gaps, and renders a branded PDF you can send them the same hour.
For: marketing agencies and anyone who sells to local businesses.
Researching one prospect by hand is roughly 3 hours. At 20 prospects a month and $50/hr that is $3,000 of time. Pays for itself in month two.
Sweeps a trade and a radius, scores every business on how badly they need what you sell, flags the fake listings, and hands you a keyboard-driven call queue with a written opener per lead.
For: anyone whose growth is limited by not knowing who to call next.
A bought list of 150 local leads runs $300 to $900 and is stale on arrival. This regenerates on demand. Pays for itself after about five list purchases.
When a job is marked done, the customer gets a text asking for a review with the link already built. Unhappy replies get routed to you privately instead of to Google.
For: trades, clinics, restaurants, anyone judged on a star rating.
Going from 20 reviews to 60 moves you up the local pack. If that brings 2 extra jobs a month at $400, it repays the build in under 3 months.
Any call you do not pick up gets an automatic text within seconds, asking what they need and offering a callback slot. Every reply lands in one place.
For: one-person and small-crew businesses who cannot answer while working.
Most people who reach voicemail call your competitor instead. Recovering 1 job a month at $400 repays the build in about 4 months, then it is profit.
A short guided form that asks the three questions you actually need, prices the obvious cases instantly, and books a visit for the rest. No more phone tag to discover the job is too small.
For: service businesses drowning in unqualified enquiries.
If you spend 6 hours a month qualifying jobs you end up declining, that is $300 of your time. Repays in about 7 months on time alone, sooner on the jobs it wins.
Generates a proper page for every service in every town you cover, each with its own schema markup, instead of one page listing 30 towns that ranks for none of them.
For: any business that serves more than one town.
Agencies charge $150 to $400 per landing page. Thirty pages is $4,500 at the low end. Cheaper than the first batch, and the next thirty are free.
Checks your competitors' public prices and stock on a schedule and emails you only when something moves. No dashboard you have to remember to open.
For: retail, e-commerce, and trades in a crowded market.
Catching one underpriced line before a slow quarter is worth more than the build. On $200k turnover, a 1% margin correction is $2,000 a year.
Answers the phone when you cannot, in a real voice. Takes the job details, books the slot in your calendar, and texts you a summary before you have finished what you were doing.
For: trades, clinics, salons and repair shops, anyone losing calls while their hands are busy.
A missed call is usually a lost job. Take 20 calls a week, miss a quarter, and that is 5 jobs a week going to whoever picked up. One recovered job a week pays for this inside two months, and the calls themselves cost a few cents each.
A set of fast-loading landing pages matched one-to-one with your ad campaigns, so paid clicks land on the exact service and city instead of your homepage. Each page is built to load fast and say one thing, which is what ad platforms reward with a lower cost per click.
For: trades and shops running Google or Meta ads who are paying to send clicks to a generic homepage.
Landing pages built for the ad convert 2 to 3 times better than a homepage does for paid traffic. On $2,000 a month in ad spend, even a modest lift is worth more than the build in the first month.
Gives every customer a unique referral code and tracks who sent whom. The reward is calculated automatically when the referral becomes a paid job, so nothing depends on anyone remembering to write it down.
For: trades and clinics who get word-of-mouth work but have never formalized it, so referrals happen by accident instead of on purpose.
A formalized referral program typically lifts referred business 15 to 30 percent inside a year. On 10 jobs a month at $400 average, even a 20 percent lift is $800 a month.
Submits and corrects your business name, address and phone across the directories Google actually checks, from Apple Maps to Bing to the data aggregators behind them. A one-time pass, not a subscription, that makes your listings agree with each other instead of contradicting your Google Business Profile.
For: any local business that has moved, changed its name, or never been submitted anywhere beyond Google itself.
Inconsistent name, address and phone data is one of the most common reasons a legitimate business ranks behind a worse competitor. Fixed once, it stays fixed.
A page listing complementary local businesses who refer to each other, your roofer, their plumber, your electrician, with tracked links. Everyone involved can finally see which partner is actually sending work and which handshake deal is one-sided.
For: trades and clinics already trading referrals by phone call who have never had a way to see if it is reciprocal.
Costs nothing to run once built. The value is finally being able to prove which partnership is real and which one should be dropped.
Automatically texts and emails anyone who got a quote but has not booked, on a schedule that fades out over two weeks instead of nagging forever. You see every reply in one place, and the sequence stops the moment someone books or says no.
For: trades who send 20 estimates and watch half of them go silent with no system for chasing them.
Quoted jobs that go uncontacted close at roughly half the rate of ones that get one follow-up. On 20 quotes a month at $600 average, converting two more a month is $1,200.
Automatically sends a small discount or check-in message around a customer's birthday or the anniversary of their first visit. It reads the date from whatever system already holds their info, so nothing new has to be kept up to date by hand.
For: clinics and shops with a customer list sitting idle between visits.
A birthday message with even a modest offer typically brings back 5 to 10 percent of recipients who would not have thought to come in otherwise. On a 2,000-name list, that is 100 to 200 visits a year that were not happening.
Finds customers who have not ordered or booked in a set number of months and sends them a specific, time-limited offer. Not a generic newsletter blast, a message built around the fact that they have been quiet.
For: shops and clinics who have a customer list but no system for noticing who has quietly stopped coming back.
Winning back an existing customer costs a fraction of acquiring a new one. On a $5,000 list, even a 3 percent response is real revenue that was otherwise written off.
An embeddable calculator that gives a visitor an instant ballpark price from a few inputs: square footage, job type, materials. Anything outside the obvious cases books a visit instead of guessing, so the number stays honest.
For: trades drowning in phone calls that are really just someone trying to figure out if they can afford the job.
Every call that is really a price question is time not spent on calls that are actually ready to book. A visitor who sees a realistic number up front is a more qualified lead by the time they do call.
A map on your site showing exactly where you serve, with a 'do you cover my zip code' checker. No paragraph of city names a visitor has to read to figure out if you're local to them.
For: any local business whose service area is a genuine question visitors have and currently have to call to ask.
A visitor who cannot tell in five seconds whether you serve them leaves instead of calling. This removes the single most common reason a qualified local visitor bounces.
Taking money on your own site, under your own name, without a platform sitting between you and your customer taking a cut.
Sell files. Customer pays, gets an automatic email with a secure download link, and their own account to re-download later. Card and PayPal both work.
For: anyone selling software, templates, courses, plans, music or PDFs.
A marketplace keeps 30% to 50%. On $2,000 a month of sales that is $600 to $1,000 gone. Your own store repays the build in 5 to 8 months and keeps paying.
One QR code that opens your profile, saves your contact straight to their phone, and shows your links. Update it any time without reprinting anything.
For: sales teams, trades, realtors, anyone who hands out cards at events.
Printing 500 cards is $80 and they are wrong the moment a number changes. For a team of 10 reprinting twice a year, this removes about $1,600 a year of print.
Customers pick a slot from your real availability and pay a deposit to hold it. Confirmation and reminder texts go out on their own.
For: clinics, salons, tradespeople, consultants, anyone with a calendar and no-shows.
No-shows typically run 10% to 20%. A deposit cuts that hard. On 40 bookings a month at $120, halving a 15% no-show rate recovers $360 a month.
Recurring billing, member-only content, automatic dunning when a card fails, and a page where members manage themselves instead of emailing you.
For: anyone turning a one-off product into monthly revenue.
Failed-card dunning alone usually recovers 20% to 40% of involuntary churn. On 100 members at $30, that is $180 to $360 a month you were losing silently.
A link the customer can check any time to see exactly where their order or job is, instead of calling you to ask.
For: custom manufacturing, repairs, print shops, anyone with a lead time.
If "where is my order" takes 5 hours a month at $25/hr, that is $125 a month. Repays in about 19 months on time alone, and it is really a complaints fix.
Someone fills a cart and leaves. Three messages go out on a schedule you set, the last one with a discount you control.
For: any store already taking orders.
Recovery sequences typically bring back 5% to 10% of abandoned carts. On $5,000 a month of abandonment that is $250 to $500 a month. Repays in 4 to 7 months.
Other sellers list their own products on your site. You take a cut of every sale automatically, and they manage their own listings and payouts.
For: trade associations, local co-ops, anyone with a community and no product of their own.
At a 10% cut, $10,000 a month of vendor sales is $1,000 a month to you for inventory you never buy. Repays in about a year at that volume.
A booking page for the chargers you already own. Drivers reserve a slot, pay by card, and you get a monthly statement showing who used what. Works with the hardware you have.
For: hotels, gyms, restaurants and small property owners with two to eight chargers.
Four chargers at three paid sessions a day at $8 a session is about $2,880 a month. Most small sites lose a chunk of that to drivers who cannot tell whether a bay is free. Recovering a third of those sessions pays for the build in month two.
Digital gift cards and a points-per-visit loyalty system that lives on your existing site. No third-party app with its own fees and its own login standing between you and the customer.
For: shops, food businesses and clinics who want repeat-visit incentives without losing a cut to a loyalty platform.
Gift cards are sold revenue that is often never redeemed in full, and loyalty members typically spend 10 to 20 percent more per visit than non-members. Both add up fast on repeat traffic.
A calendar for equipment you rent out, with online booking, availability blocking, and a deposit hold taken automatically at time of booking. No more checking a whiteboard or a group chat to see if the trailer is free this weekend.
For: trades and other businesses renting out tools or equipment who currently track bookings on a whiteboard or a group chat.
Double-bookings and forgotten deposits are the two most common ways rental revenue leaks. On $4,000 a month in rental income, avoiding even one double-booked week pays for this.
When a booking cancels, automatically offers the slot to the next person on a standby list by text. First to confirm gets it, so the slot fills itself instead of sitting empty until someone notices.
For: clinics and reservation-based food businesses that are fully booked but still lose slots to late cancellations.
A fully booked clinic or restaurant with a 10 percent cancellation rate is losing that revenue outright unless someone is manually working the phones. Filling even half those slots on 100 bookings a month at $80 recovers $400.
Lets a customer apply for third-party financing on a large job directly from the quote. No being told to call a lender separately, which is where most of these conversations quietly die.
For: trades quoting jobs large enough that the price itself is the thing stopping the customer, not the work.
Jobs over roughly $5,000 close significantly more often when financing is offered at the moment of the quote rather than as an afterthought. One additional closed job a quarter covers this many times over.
Lets a customer pick add-ons or a good, better, best tier for a service and see one combined instant quote. You stop building every combination of options into a quote by hand.
For: trades and clinics who sell the same core service with optional extras and quote each combination by hand.
Offering a tiered choice instead of one price typically lifts average order value, because the middle option becomes the easy default. On 40 jobs a month, even a modest per-job lift adds up fast.
The least glamorous category and usually the highest return, because those hours are already being spent and nobody is billing anyone for them.
One record moves from quote to accepted to scheduled to invoiced to paid. Nothing is retyped, and nothing sits in the accepted column with no invoice against it.
For: any business that quotes before it bills.
Retyping a quote into an invoice is 10 minutes. At 60 jobs a month that is 10 hours. At $50/hr that is $500 a month, repaying in about 7 months, before counting invoices that never got sent.
Crew takes before and after photos on their phone. A branded PDF report is waiting in the customer's inbox before the van has left the street.
For: restoration, roofing, pest control, landscaping, anything an insurer or landlord needs proof of.
Assembling one report by hand is 20 to 30 minutes. At 40 jobs a month that is 16 hours. At $30/hr that is $480 a month, repaying in under 6 months.
Staff clock in from their phone with location. At period end it produces the exact file your payroll provider wants, with overtime already worked out.
For: any business with hourly staff and a spreadsheet.
Manual payroll prep is commonly 4 to 6 hours a period. At 24 periods and $40/hr that is $3,840 to $5,760 a year, so it repays inside the first year and ends the arguments about hours.
Forward a supplier invoice, a receipt or a signed form to one address. The numbers come out as clean rows in your system, with anything uncertain flagged for a human rather than guessed.
For: bookkeepers, property managers, clinics, anyone retyping paper.
Keying 300 documents a month at 3 minutes each is 15 hours. At $30/hr that is $450 a month, repaying in about 11 months, and the error rate drops at the same time.
Watches stock against how fast each line actually moves and tells you what to order this week, before you find out by running out.
For: retail, workshops, clinics, kitchens.
One stockout on a fast line costs a weekend of sales. If that is $800 and it happens three times a year, the build repays in year one on prevented stockouts alone.
Every contract customer gets rebooked automatically on their own cycle, routed sensibly by geography, with the reminder already sent.
For: maintenance contracts, cleaning, inspections, lawn care, HVAC servicing.
Contracts that lapse because nobody rebooked them are the quietest revenue loss there is. Saving 5 contracts a year at $600 is $3,000, repaying inside 16 months and compounding after.
Calls everyone booked for tomorrow, confirms or reschedules in a normal conversation, and updates the calendar itself. Nothing for your customer to install and no link to click.
For: clinics, dentists, salons and garages, anyone with a diary and a no-show problem.
No-shows run 10 to 20 percent in most appointment businesses. At 100 bookings a month and $80 a slot, halving that recovers $400 to $800 every month. The calls cost a few cents each, so it pays for itself in the first month.
Charges a no-show fee automatically per your stated policy instead of leaving it to an awkward conversation at the front desk. You can still waive it with one click when you want to, so the policy stays a tool rather than a trap.
For: clinics with a persistent no-show problem and a policy nobody actually enforces.
No-shows typically run 10 to 20 percent in appointment businesses. At 100 bookings a month and $80 a slot, halving a 15 percent rate alone recovers $600 a month, before counting what the fee itself brings in.
Takes the day's local orders and batches them into the shortest driving route. A driver works the route in the order it was built for, not the order the orders happened to come in.
For: shops and food businesses doing their own local delivery with one or two drivers.
A route built by hand usually runs 20 to 30 percent longer than an optimized one. On two drivers doing 4 hours a day, even a 15 percent time saving is close to an extra delivery run.
A shared schedule where hourly staff can request a shift swap and a manager approves it with one tap. No more group chat full of 'can anyone cover Saturday' going unanswered until it is too late.
For: trades, food businesses and clinics scheduling hourly staff by text message or a shared spreadsheet.
An unfilled shift found at the last minute usually costs more than the shift itself, in overtime or a closed location. Avoiding one a month covers this build many times over.
Tracks service intervals for every vehicle and piece of equipment in your fleet and alerts you before something is due. You find out on your own schedule, not when it breaks down on a job.
For: trades running more than one vehicle or piece of major equipment.
One roadside breakdown on a job day costs the missed job plus the repair, usually several times what scheduled maintenance would have cost. Avoiding one a year pays for this.
Replaces the paper job checklist with a phone-based one: required photos at each step and a customer signature captured on site. The record is searchable later, instead of a clipboard that got left in a truck.
For: trades who need proof of what was done, when a customer disputes it or an insurer asks for it.
One disputed job that you cannot document costs more in the argument alone than this build. A photo-backed sign-off ends most disputes before they start.
Snap a photo of a receipt from your phone; it is read, categorized, and exported in a format your bookkeeper already uses. No shoebox of paper to sort through at tax time.
For: any small business whose owner is still the one sorting receipts once a quarter.
Bookkeepers typically charge by the hour to sort uncategorized receipts. At even 2 hours a month saved at a bookkeeper's rate, this pays for itself in well under a year.
Rolls up sales, bookings or visits from every location into one view. No more checking each location's system separately or waiting on a weekly email to piece it together.
For: shop and clinic owners running two or more locations who currently piece together numbers by hand.
An owner who cannot see all locations at once catches a slipping one late. One location's slide caught a month earlier is usually worth more than the build.
Tracks every service contract and warranty you have sold and alerts you before it expires. The renewal is already drafted and ready to send when the alert fires.
For: trades and other businesses selling maintenance contracts or warranties they currently track in a spreadsheet, if at all.
A missed renewal is lost recurring revenue that often goes to whoever calls the customer first. Catching even a handful a year that would have lapsed covers this many times over.
Tracks permit status and inspection dates across every open job. Anything coming due is flagged before it becomes the reason a job stalls.
For: trades juggling permits and inspections across more jobs than fit in anyone's head.
A job that stalls waiting on a permit or a missed inspection date costs more in delay than the tracking would ever cost. One avoided stall a quarter is the payback.
Stores licenses, insurance certificates and certifications in one place with expiry alerts. A shareable link covers the customers and GCs who keep asking you to prove you have them.
For: trades and clinics who get asked for proof of insurance or licensing more often than they can find it.
The real cost is the lost job or delayed payment waiting on a document that exists somewhere in an inbox. A shareable, always-current link removes the back-and-forth entirely.
A simple form and dashboard for logging safety incidents and near-misses from a phone on site. It builds the written record that insurers and regulators ask for after the fact, before the fact.
For: trades who currently have no written safety record until something goes wrong and someone asks for one.
A documented safety process is frequently the difference in an insurance claim or an audit. The record has to exist before the incident to be worth anything, which is the entire argument for building it now.
Not a chatbot bolted onto your website. These are jobs a person does today that a model can do with a human checking the output, built so that when it is unsure it says so instead of inventing.
Ask questions of your own manuals, contracts, price lists and past jobs, and get an answer that cites the document it came from. If the answer is not in your documents, it says so.
For: firms where one or two people are the only ones who know things.
If five staff each lose 30 minutes a day hunting for information, that is 10 hours a week. At $35/hr that is $1,400 a month, repaying in about 5 months.
Reads the shared mailbox, sorts what is a new enquiry, a complaint, a supplier or noise, drafts the routine replies, and leaves the rest for you with the context already gathered.
For: any business where a shared inbox is the real bottleneck.
Two hours a day of triage at $35/hr is $1,540 a month. Removing even half of that repays the build in under 6 months.
Recorded calls become a written summary, the agreed next step, and a dated follow-up task in your CRM. Nobody types notes after a call ever again.
For: sales teams and anyone whose CRM is full of blank activity fields.
Post-call notes are 5 minutes a call. At 25 calls a day across 3 people that is 31 hours a month. At $40/hr that is $1,250 a month, repaying in 3 months.
Feed it the notes from a discovery call plus your past winning proposals. It returns a first draft in your format with your pricing, ready to edit rather than ready to send.
For: consultants, agencies, contractors bidding regularly.
A serious proposal is 3 to 4 hours. At 8 a month and $75/hr that is $1,800 to $2,400. Cutting each to one hour repays the build in about 2 months.
A test suite for the AI features you already shipped. It proves they still behave after every change, and it is built so that it can actually fail. A suite that cannot go red is not a suite.
For: companies who have put a model in front of customers and cannot tell when it drifts.
One confidently wrong answer to a customer costs more than this build. It is insurance, priced at roughly one bad incident.
Takes the messy export, matches duplicates, fixes formats, flags what it is not sure about, and never silently deletes a row. Everything it changed is listed for you.
For: anyone merging lists, migrating systems, or living in a CRM full of duplicates.
A one-off cleanup quoted out is $1,500 to $4,000 and you pay it again next year. This repays on the second cleanup and then runs whenever you want.
Lets Claude or ChatGPT safely read and act on your own systems through a small set of tools you define, with hard limits on what it may touch and what it may say.
For: firms who want AI on their real data without handing over the keys.
The alternative is staff pasting company data into a public chat window, which is a breach waiting to be discovered. Priced well below what that costs to explain.
Give it the job description and the CVs. It runs a real spoken first-round interview, screening or technical, then hands you a ranked shortlist with the full transcript and the reasoning behind each call.
For: recruiters, agencies and anyone hiring more than a handful of people at a time.
A 20-minute human screen is about $13 of someone's time. The same call runs at roughly $0.23 in API fees, so screening 100 candidates is $1,300 of time against about $25. Priced with the candidate-notice and bias-audit work included, because screening tools are regulated in several states.
The same spoken interviewer, pointed the other way. Your candidates or students practise against a real job description and get scored feedback on the substance of the answer, not just the words.
For: bootcamps, colleges, career services and outplacement firms.
Sold per seat rather than per hire. It makes no hiring decision, so it sits outside the employment-screening rules the screener above has to carry. Same build, quicker to ship, no bias audit.
Answers 'do you have anything Tuesday afternoon' by text or chat in plain language, checks real availability, and books it. No form that only works for people who already know exactly what slot they want.
For: clinics and trades who lose bookings to people who would rather text a question than fill out a form.
A booking question answered in two minutes instead of two hours converts at a meaningfully higher rate. On 20 extra captured bookings a month at $80, that is $1,600.
Reads new Google and Yelp reviews and drafts a reply in your own voice. You approve and send in one tap instead of staring at a blank box.
For: any business that knows responding to reviews matters and still has a backlog of unanswered ones.
Businesses that respond to reviews are trusted more by both customers and Google's ranking signals. The whole point is that it takes ten seconds to approve instead of ten minutes to write.
Records client or internal calls, writes a clean summary, and pulls action items into a task list with owners and dates. No one scribbling notes that nobody reads again.
For: agencies running enough client calls that notes are either skipped or inconsistent.
One dropped action item that costs a client relationship is worth more than a year of this. At a minimum it buys back the time otherwise spent writing recap emails.
Keeps your website, Google Shopping feed and social storefronts in sync from one source. A price or stock change made once does not have to be made four more times.
For: shops selling across more than one channel who have been burned by a price going stale on a channel they forgot about.
A wrong price live on even one channel is a lost sale or a refund you have to eat. Avoiding one such mistake a quarter pays for the build.
Watches what competitors are actually running in the Meta and Google ad libraries and sends a weekly summary of what changed. No manually checking when you happen to remember to.
For: agencies and shops in a competitive paid-ads market who want to see a competitor's new offer the week it launches, not the month after.
Matching or beating a competitor's offer within a week of it launching is worth more than seeing it a month late. By then they have already captured the customers who were shopping around.
Turns a short, plain-language brief into a finished job posting and publishes it to the boards you use. No blank page, and no digging up last time's posting to copy.
For: agencies and trades hiring often enough that writing the posting is a recurring chore, not a once-a-year task.
A posting that reads clearly and specifically attracts better-fit applicants. That cuts down on screening time that would otherwise be spent on a bad match.
Transcribes calls and flags the ones that sounded upset so a manager can follow up the same day. No finding out about a bad call when the customer leaves a review instead.
For: any business taking enough phone calls that a frustrated customer can slip through without anyone noticing.
Catching one upset customer before they go public with a review is worth more than the build. A one-star review takes measurably more new business to offset than a same-day fix costs.
The headset is no longer the hard part. These all run in a browser on a phone as well as in a headset, so your customer does not have to own hardware to see the value.
Customers walk through your full product range at real scale, in a headset or straight in the browser on their phone. No warehouse, no floor space, no travel.
For: furniture, kitchens, cars, boats, machinery, modular buildings.
A physical showroom is rent, staff and stock. If it replaces one 400 sq ft showroom at $2,200 a month, it repays in under 5 months and it is open at 2am to a buyer in another state.
Staff practise the dangerous procedure without the danger, as many times as they need, and every attempt is scored and recorded for your compliance file.
For: construction, manufacturing, utilities, warehousing, anyone with a safety record to defend.
One recordable injury costs an employer tens of thousands before insurance moves. Taking a single incident out of a year pays for this several times over, and the training record is the evidence.
Customer points their phone at the room and sees your product sitting in it at the right size, in the right colour, before they order.
For: furniture, paint, flooring, signage, blinds, appliances.
Returns on furniture and decor commonly run 15% to 25%, and "it did not fit the space" is the top reason. On $120k of annual sales, cutting returns by a third keeps roughly $6,000 of margin.
A walkthrough of your property, venue or workshop with clickable hotspots that explain what the visitor is looking at. Works on any phone, no app to install.
For: real estate, hotels, venues, schools, care homes, gyms.
Photographers charge $400 to $900 per property tour. At six properties a year you are past the build cost, and you own the tool rather than rebooking the shoot.
A new hire or visiting contractor walks your actual site in VR before they ever set foot on it, and arrives knowing the layout, the hazards and the rules.
For: anyone inducting contractors, seasonal staff or high-turnover crews.
A supervisor walking each new starter round is 2 hours. At 60 starters a year and $45/hr that is $5,400 of supervisor time, repaying in under two years and the induction never varies by who gave it.
A structured portfolio of before-and-after job photos, filterable by job type and searchable by the kind of work a visitor is actually looking for. No scroll of unsorted photos buried in an Instagram feed.
For: trades whose best sales tool is the work itself, if a visitor could actually find the relevant example.
A visitor who finds a photo of a job just like theirs is far more likely to call than one who scrolls past a wall of unrelated pictures. This is the cheapest trust-builder in the whole catalog.
Lets a buyer see color, material and option changes live on a 3D model before they order. No guessing from a flat product photo that never quite matches what arrives.
For: shops selling customizable products where the wrong color or option is the most common reason for a return.
Returns driven by ‘it wasn't what I pictured’ are some of the most avoidable in retail. Cutting that return rate even modestly on a product line pays for this well inside a year.
Embeds periodic drone photos of a large job into a simple client-facing page, so a customer can watch progress without calling to ask. The finished timelapse doubles as a sales tool for the next bid, at no extra cost to produce.
For: trades on builds large enough that 'how's it going' calls are a regular interruption.
Fewer status-check calls is real time back. A finished progress page is a sales tool for the next bid that costs nothing extra to show.
Smaller, faster, and priced by the job. You already own the software or the site. You just need someone to make it work properly and then get out of your way.
You bought the software and it is sitting in a folder. I install it on your server, configure it, connect your payment and email, test it end to end with a real transaction, and show you how to run it.
For: anyone holding a licence, a bundle or a plugin they have never managed to get working.
Software you own and cannot run is worth nothing. If the bundle cost you $500 and it is still in a folder, this is the cheapest way to make that $500 real.
Move a site to hosting that actually works, or recover one that broke, without losing your products, orders, customers or search rankings. Full backup taken before anything is touched.
For: anyone on hosting that keeps falling over, or who has lost files and does not know why.
A store that is down or broken is making nothing. If you take $150 a day online, eleven days of downtime costs more than this job.
Get card and PayPal payments working properly on the site you already have, including the receipt email, the refund path and a real test transaction before you go live.
For: anyone taking payment by bank transfer, cash, or a link they paste into a message.
Card checkout converts far better than "message me to pay". Two extra sales a month at $60 repays this inside a year, and you stop chasing transfers.
Hundreds or thousands of products onto your store in one pass, with images, prices, categories, descriptions and download files, generated from whatever list you already have.
For: anyone facing a catalogue too big to type in by hand.
Adding a product by hand is 4 to 6 minutes. For 500 products that is 40 hours, so at $25/hr you are $1,000 ahead and it can be re-run when prices change.
Not included on purpose: ongoing retainers, app store mobile apps, and anything where I would end up the only person who understands it afterwards. If your idea is not on this list, ask anyway. If it is a bad fit I will say so, and it costs you one message.
Every build on this page carries its own fixed price, from $850 for a software installation to $12,000 for a multi-vendor marketplace. The price is agreed before anything starts and does not move afterwards. Half is due up front and half when the build is doing the job on your real data.
Each one lists its own window, from two days for an installation to eight to ten weeks for the largest VR and marketplace builds. Most sit between one and three weeks.
It is arithmetic, not a case study. It takes the assumption printed beside it and divides. If that assumption is wrong for your business then the number is wrong for your business, and I would rather be told so than sell you a payback that never arrives.
Seven are marked Running now, meaning the exact thing described already runs today, either for a client or in my own work, so the build risk is close to zero. The rest would be built from parts I have built before, which is a weaker claim and is not dressed up as the first one.
Yes. Source code, accounts and data are all yours, and hosting stays on your accounts in your name. There is no monthly fee to keep it running and nothing switches off if we stop talking.
No. Ongoing retainers are excluded on purpose, along with app store mobile apps and anything where I would end up the only person who understands it afterwards.
Ask anyway. If it is a bad fit I will say so, and it costs you one message.
Send it and it lands in my inbox. I read every one myself and reply, usually the same day. If the payback maths does not hold for your business I will tell you that rather than quote you.
Prefer to talk instead of type? Any of these reaches me directly.
It is in my inbox. I will read it myself and reply, usually the same day.
In a hurry? WhatsApp or 760-481-4120.
Three questions, no email needed to see the answer.
Want the arithmetic on your numbers? Tell me where to send it. I run these against what the job actually costs you today and reply myself, usually the same day. If it does not pay for itself I will say so instead of quoting you.
One reply from me. No list, no newsletter, no passing your details to anyone.
Kept in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere until you send it.
Nothing saved yet. Tap the bookmark in the corner of any build to put it here. Build a shortlist, see what it comes to, then send the lot to me in one message.
Send me the list and I will price it as one job. Several builds together usually costs less than the sum of the parts, because the setup only happens once. I reply myself, usually the same day.
