Still retyping orders from one app into another? We map how your business runs, then build the integrations and automations that do that work for you.
Free, 30 minutes, no obligation. Prefer to write? Talk to us.
Most small businesses don’t have a software problem. They have a connection problem. There’s a CRM, a booking tool, a payment processor, a spreadsheet, and an inbox, and none of them share information. So you end up doing it. You copy a name from one tab to another, chase a payment by hand, and type the same order in three times.
That work is small and constant, and it costs more than it looks. It eats hours, it causes mistakes, and deals slip when a follow-up never goes out. We fix this by connecting and automating the tools you already pay for. You don’t need another subscription, just the ones you have talking to each other.
These five areas are where small businesses lose the most time, and where automation pays for itself fastest. For the step-by-step version, start with our guide to automating your business workflows.
Leads, contacts, and deals live in one place and sync with your forms, inbox, and calendar on their own. Nobody types a lead into three systems again. Planning one? Our CRM integration checklist walks through what to prepare first.
Stripe checkout, invoices, deposits, and scheduling linked up. A client books, and the payment, the confirmation email, and the calendar hold all happen without you.
We connect your CRM, CMS, spreadsheets, and other platforms so a change in one shows up everywhere else. You stop being the go-between.
Weekly reports that build themselves, reminders that go out on time, records that update overnight. The recurring jobs that slip when the week gets busy.
Sometimes off-the-shelf software almost fits. For the gap, we build a small dashboard, form, or admin tool around the way your team already works.
Spending hours a week moving data between tools? A free 30-minute audit shows where automation pays off.
Agencies rarely say this out loud: a lot of the time you don’t need anything custom. A no-code tool like Zapier or Make will do the job for a fraction of the cost. If that’s your situation, we’ll set it up and step aside.
We won’t sell you a custom build you don’t need, and we’ll push back on requests that don’t make sense. Before we quote anything, we’ll tell you which side of the line you’re on and why. The full decision framework is written up in custom software vs. off-the-shelf.
Most clients end up in the middle: a few no-code automations plus one or two custom pieces that justify their cost. We’ll point your budget at custom work only where it makes a measurable difference. For actual numbers on both sides, see what automation costs for a small business.
The same team plans it, builds it, and supports it afterwards. Nothing gets passed to someone else halfway through.
We look at how the business runs today: the tools, the open tabs, the manual steps, the things that keep breaking. Then we work out where the hours go.
We map the process before automating any of it. You see the current workflow next to the one we’re proposing, so every change is clear before anything gets built.
We connect the tools, set up the automations, and build any custom pieces. Each flow is tested against real cases, including the odd ones that never come up in a demo.
Automations need looking after. We monitor what we built, fix it when something upstream changes, and adjust the workflows as your business grows.
See how we work, end to end.
Not sure if you need custom work or just Zapier? We will tell you on the call.
Automation is only as reliable as the engineering behind it. We’re a design and technology agency. We build custom websites on modern stacks, integrate CMS platforms (Sanity, WordPress, headless setups), set up Stripe payments, and connect third-party APIs routinely. Plenty of agencies outsource that plumbing. We do it ourselves.
We also know what it looks like when the technology fails, and how to fix it. When a client’s WordPress site got hacked, we walked through how to tell, what to do, and how to lock it down. Every integration we build gets the same hands-on attention, with nothing glossed over.
That’s one part of what we do. For the rest, see our technology & integration services.

Read the full review on GoogleAlmost never. The goal is to get the tools you already pay for working together: your CRM, booking system, payment processor, and spreadsheets. We start with what you have and connect it. We'll only suggest replacing something if it truly can't do the job and is holding everything else back. Even then, we'll explain why plainly instead of pushing an upgrade.
Yes, and we often recommend them. If Zapier or Make handles your problem reliably and cheaply, that's the right call, and we'll set it up for you. We only build custom when the logic, the volume, or the reliability really requires it. You get the recommendation that fits your situation, even when it's the cheaper one.
It depends on how many systems we're connecting and how custom the logic has to be. A handful of no-code automations is often a low-four-figure project. Deeper custom integrations and internal tools cost more, depending on scope. Ongoing monitoring and refinement come through our care plans, which start at $255/mo. Once you have an active project or retainer with us, extra work is available in hour blocks at $100/hr. Every automation project is scoped and quoted up front, so the price doesn't change on you later.
Yes. Automations need someone looking after them, because tools change, APIs get updated, and odd cases turn up. Our care plans (from $255/mo for maintenance, $425/mo with foundational SEO) cover monitoring, fixes, and adjustments, so the workflows we build keep running as your business grows. You won't be left with a system nobody on your side can maintain.
Book a free 30-minute workflow audit. We’ll map where automation pays off, what it’d take to build, and what it would cost. No obligation, and we’ll tell you if you don’t need us.
