Ways to start

Three ways in. Pick the one that fits where you are.

Projects

Five sizes, named after what the software does.

Read down until one sounds like your week. These are bands, not quotes. Every project ends with one fixed number in writing before work begins.

Size A

A website that sells for you

A site that looks expensive, that Google can find, that looks right when somebody shares it, and that turns up in the map results.

Who it suits: An owner whose current website is embarrassing them, or who has never had one.

$6,000 to $9,000

Half when we start, half when it goes live.

Equipment rental, delivered to site.

Skid steers, lifts and trailers. Same-day in town.

A trades website: what you do, where, and a quote button on every page.

Size B

A website you keep up to date yourself

The above, plus you change your own prices, hours and photos, and a box you clear by accident cannot take a section off your live site.

Who it suits: An owner who is tired of paying somebody to change a price.

$9,000 to $14,000

Half when we start, half when it goes live.

Size C

A shop or clinic site with a real booking button

The above, plus customers take a time slot themselves and pay a booking fee by card that comes off what they buy. This exact combination is live and answering today.

Who it suits: Boutiques, clinics, salons and anybody whose day is a diary.

$9,500 to $16,000

Half when we start, half when it goes live.

What the bride sees: the boutique's own booking page, choosing a time from what is actually open.
RingUps: a customer picks a time from what is actually open.

Size D

One tool that fixes one job in your business

A single job done properly, the schedule that moves itself when a trade runs late, the ticket-expiry tracker, the costs ledger that will not let you close a month with unattributed bills in it.

Who it suits: An owner with one expensive job that a spreadsheet has stopped coping with.

$12,000 to $22,000

Half when we start and half when it goes live, or 40 percent at the start, 30 percent halfway and 30 percent at launch.

schedule.yourbusiness.ca
Build schedule: each phase shows planned dates against actual dates, so slippage is visible at a glance.
BuildTrack: the schedule that moves itself when a trade runs late.

Size E

The system you run the business on

Several jobs, several kinds of person, your customers and your staff both in it. The scored checklist, the board-grade report, the site walk in walking order and the printed day pack all belong here.

Who it suits: An owner whose business is the software, or soon will be.

$25,000 to $60,000

Half when we start and half when it goes live, or 40 percent at the start, 30 percent halfway and 30 percent at launch.

portal.yourconsultancy.ca
The client's compliance portal shows its score, open corrective actions, expiring tickets and audit readiness on one screen.

How you pay for a project

Half when we start and half at launch. On the two largest sizes you can choose 40 percent at the start, 30 halfway and 30 at launch.

Care plans

Software is not a thing you buy once and put on a shelf.

You own the software either way. A care plan is for when you would rather we kept it running and kept it changing.

Keep it running

It stays up, it stays backed up, and there is a button on every screen for when something is wrong.

$290a month

Or $2,900 for a year, paid up front.

  • Hosting and backups, both ours to worry about.
  • A button on every screen that says "this is broken, here", they circle it and it files itself with the page name attached.
  • One small change a month.
Recommended

Keep it moving

The above, plus four hours of changes a month, and the small breakages get looked at overnight.

$850a month

Or $8,500 for a year, paid up front.

  • Everything in Keep it running.
  • Four hours of changes a month.
  • Anything reported through the button gets read overnight, and the safe ones are fixed before you open up.
  • A written note back to whoever reported it.

We run it with you

The above, plus twelve hours a month, first in the queue, and a named day each week that is yours.

$2,400a month

Or $24,000 for a year, paid up front.

  • Everything in Keep it moving.
  • Twelve hours a month.
  • Your work goes ahead of everything else in the queue.
  • A named day each week that belongs to you.

Pay for a year up front and you pay for ten months, not twelve.

What it is not. A care plan is not a licence. Stop paying and the software keeps running. You stop getting changes and support from us.

Also available

Two other ways to work with us.

bids.yourbusiness.ca
Bid comparison: three framing bids on the same rows, the scope each one left out priced back in, and a written note of which is really cheapest.

The fine print

What is and is not included.

Included

Everything in the written price, the launch walkthrough, and ownership from day one.

Not included

Anything not in the written price. We price it on its own first.

Your own bills

Hosting, email and card fees are paid by you, in accounts in your name.

A second off-site backup

Extra, and quoted. A nightly copy is standard.

Questions

What people ask about the money.

Something else? Email us and the person who would build it replies.

Why is this not cheaper?

One person does the work, and the price pays for the days it takes. Even a ready-made tool needs a week or two of full attention to fit your business.

What happens if I stop the care plan?

Nothing switches off and you keep the software. You stop getting changes, fixes and backups from us.

Can I pay in more than two lots?

On the two largest project sizes, yes: 40, 30 and 30 percent. Otherwise half at the start and half at launch.

Why is this dearer than a quote I got from overseas?

That quote is usually for building it once. This price is for having it work: tax to the cent, the photo that never left the phone, the deposit counted as income too early.

I do not know what I need. Is that a problem?

It is the normal starting point. Tell us what you do twice and what you dread. If you want it in writing instead of a call, that is the fit check.
