The problem

Quotes were written one at a time, bookings were juggled by phone and text, invoices were made by hand, and chasing payments meant remembering to send reminders. It added up to about 6 hours of admin every week, on top of the actual carpentry.

What we built

A full website for the business with the admin built in:

  • A quote estimator. Customers answer a few questions and get an estimate straight away.
  • Booking. Jobs are booked through the site instead of back-and-forth messages.
  • Invoicing. Quotes become invoices, with integrations into the accounting software.
  • Automatic reminders. Emails go out until each invoice is paid.

It has cut about 6 hours of admin a week and helped the business grow fast. The client hosts it themselves, so there are no platform fees.

The maths

What it saves

Website with quote estimator, booking and invoicing

Customers get an instant estimate on the website and can book in. Quotes turn into invoices, which connect to the accounting software, and reminder emails go out automatically until they're paid.
