If your team is doing it by hand, it can probably be automated.

Automations, integrations, portals and AI tools that replace the manual work your team is still doing by hand. Scoped as a fixed price, built once, yours forever.

Before

Somebody does it by hand, every single time.

A person opens a portal, checks a list, copies a number into another system and hopes they got it right. It takes twenty minutes, it happens forty times a week, and the mistakes are not found until a customer finds them.

After

It happens on its own, and nobody thinks about it.

The same check runs in the background in under a second, every time, without anyone opening anything. The team gets the hours back, the mistakes stop, and the customer never sees the machinery.

What we build

Six kinds of problem worth solving.

All of it starts the same way: something in the business is being done by hand that does not need to be.

Automations

The job that somebody does every Tuesday because that is how it has always been done. Checking a list, copying figures between two systems, sending the same follow-up email, generating the same report. If it follows rules, it can usually be made to happen on its own.

Integrations

Your website talking to the software you already pay for: the CRM, the accounting system, the booking platform, the mailing list, the spreadsheet somebody keeps on their desktop. Data entered once, in one place, instead of three times by three people.

Portals and staff tools

A private area of the site where staff, members or clients can do something on their own instead of emailing you to do it for them. Applications, uploads, approvals, documents, status checks.

Verification and eligibility

Forms that check something real before they submit: an address against a register, a licence against a database, a postcode against a service area. The customer sees a smooth form, and the checking happens out of sight.

AI where it genuinely helps

Not AI for the sake of a press release. Drafting, classifying, summarising, tagging and describing at a scale a person could not reasonably do by hand, with a human still holding the final say on anything that matters.

Reporting and dashboards

The numbers you keep asking somebody to pull together, gathered automatically and shown in one place, so the monthly management meeting starts with the answer instead of the assembly.

Case study

The address check nobody has to do any more.

A real project, so you can judge whether this kind of thing is worth it for you.

Fixed priceBuilt once, runs every day

An eligibility check that happens in the background.

An energy business had a team member checking every customer address by hand against a government eligibility register before a job could proceed. Open the portal, search the address, read the result, go back to the form. Many times a day, every day, with the occasional mistake surfacing weeks later. Now the customer types their address into the form on the website, the check runs invisibly against the register, and the form either continues or explains what to do next. Nobody on the team opens anything. The same check can be dropped onto any other form on the site.

  • Runs against the live register, not a stale copy
  • Configurable: staff choose what is being checked against
  • The customer sees one smooth form and no waiting
  • Reusable on every other form on the site
Also solved

Other things that used to be somebody's job.

A sample of work delivered for clients. Most of it started as a throwaway complaint in a meeting.

Address eligibility, checked invisibly

A form that verifies each address against a government register in the background, so nobody on the team has to open a portal and check by hand.

Alt text across a whole image library

Over a thousand images described automatically for accessibility and search, in an afternoon rather than over months of manual work.

One header, forty pages

A site-wide header driven by a single editable source, so a seasonal change is made once instead of being repeated page by page and missed on three of them.

A staff-only mode on a public form

The same form that customers use, with an internal version that skips the customer-facing steps and captures what the team needs instead.

Uploads that carry their location

A public upload form that tags each submission with verified location data and hands it to the team already sorted, with the re-upload path secured properly.

Forms wired into the tools you already use

Consent, enquiry and application data flowing straight into the mailing platform and the spreadsheets the team already lives in, with nothing rekeyed.

How it works

One number, agreed before anything is built.

Four steps from a complaint to a working solution, with the price fixed at step three.

Tell us what is annoying

Not a technical brief. Describe the task somebody on your team hates doing, or the thing customers keep getting wrong, and how often it happens. The best solutions almost always start as a complaint.

We work out if it is worth it

We look at how long the task actually takes, how often it runs and what it costs when it goes wrong. Sometimes the honest answer is that it is cheaper to keep doing it by hand, and we will tell you that.

You get a fixed price

A written scope and one number, before anything is built. Not an estimate, not a range, and not an hourly rate that grows quietly. If the scope changes mid-way, we re-quote rather than send a surprise.

It gets built, and it is yours

Built, tested against real data, and handed over documented. It runs on your systems and your accounts. There is no per-seat licence and no monthly fee to keep using something you already paid for.

Michael GalieriGoogle review · 2 days ago
I highly recommend Ryan at Furtzdesigns for website design and SEO. He’s put a huge amount of work into our website and ongoing SEO for M & J Electrical Works, and I really appreciate what he’s done for our business. We take a lot of pride in our electrical work, and having a website that reflects that standard is important to us. Ryan has helped us present our business professionally, showcase our actual work and make it easier for customers to understand our services and get in touch. His attention to detail deserves a special mention. From improving our service pages and local SEO to incorporating our job videos and developing our EV charger enquiry tool, he’s put real thought into what our business and customers need. I’m pretty particular about how our business is presented, and I’ve really appreciated the effort he’s put into the changes and ongoing improvements. There’s a lot of work behind the scenes, and it deserves recognition. If you’re a business owner looking for someone to build or improve your website and work on your SEO, I’d happily recommend Ryan. Thanks for everything, mate!

After launch

Solutions are one-off. These are the ongoing bits.

Most clients who buy a solution are already on one of these, which is how the next problem gets spotted before it costs anything.

18+ years. 60+ websites built and looked after. 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Google reviews. One person on your account, and you have his number.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Straight answers about cost, ownership, and how to tell whether something is worth automating.

Ask something else
What does a custom solution cost?

It depends entirely on what it does, which is why every one is scoped and quoted as a fixed price before anything starts. Something like the address eligibility checker described above is a single, one-off project that replaced a manual check the team was running many times a day. Smaller pieces, like wiring a form into a CRM or automating a recurring report, are often a fraction of that. Tell us what the problem is and you will get a number, not a rate.

Why fixed price and not hourly?

Because you are buying a result, not a person's time, and an hourly rate makes efficiency your problem instead of ours. A fixed price means the risk of it taking longer than expected sits with us, where it belongs, and you can make a decision on one number rather than watching a meter run.

How do I know if something can be automated?

The rough test: if you could write down the steps well enough that a new employee could follow them without asking questions, it can probably be automated. If it needs genuine judgement every time, it probably can't, and it usually shouldn't be. Describe the task and we will tell you honestly which side of that line it falls on.

Do I need to be a client already?

No. Plenty of this work is for businesses whose websites somebody else built. If the solution touches your website we will need access to it, and if the site is in poor shape we will say so before quoting rather than after.

Who owns what you build?

You do. It runs on your hosting, your accounts and your data, and it is documented at handover. There is no licence to renew and no ongoing fee for continuing to use something you have already paid for. If you ever want somebody else to work on it, they can.

What happens if it breaks later?

Anything that runs against a system you do not control, such as a government portal or a third-party platform, can change without warning. If you are on a care plan or a growth partnership, keeping it working is part of what you already pay for. If you are not, we fix it and quote it. Either way we would rather you called us than quietly went back to doing it by hand.

Can you use AI for this?

Where it genuinely helps, yes, and we use it heavily in how we work, which is a large part of why this kind of project is affordable now when it would not have been a few years ago. But AI is a tool inside the solution, not the product. If a plain script does the job more reliably and more cheaply, that is what you get.
