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.
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.
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.
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.
All of it starts the same way: something in the business is being done by hand that does not need to be.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A real project, so you can judge whether this kind of thing is worth it for you.
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.
A sample of work delivered for clients. Most of it started as a throwaway complaint in a meeting.
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.
Over a thousand images described automatically for accessibility and search, in an afternoon rather than over months of manual work.
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.
The same form that customers use, with an internal version that skips the customer-facing steps and captures what the team needs instead.
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.
Consent, enquiry and application data flowing straight into the mailing platform and the spreadsheets the team already lives in, with nothing rekeyed.
Four steps from a complaint to a working solution, with the price fixed at step three.
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 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.
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.
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.
Most clients who buy a solution are already on one of these, which is how the next problem gets spotted before it costs anything.

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