Websites and search, portals and internal tools, AI and automation

Three pillars and the connections between them: the website customers see, the systems your team works in, and the automation that keeps information moving. Each stands on its own, or joins up as one setup.

If you are not sure which of the three you need, the review below is the recommended place to start.

A £750 Workflow & Systems Review is the recommended place to start

A focused one-week review of one or two repetitive processes. I map how the work happens now, identify where time and money are going, and recommend the smallest practical fix, which is often smaller than people expect.

What you get

  • One or two defined processes mapped end to end
  • Where time, delay and cost are building up, using your own figures
  • Ranked recommendations: what to automate, where AI fits, what stays human
  • A scoped proposal for anything worth building

Credited in full against an implementation commissioned within 60 days.

Final price depends on scope, integrations, user roles, security requirements and third-party services. It is agreed in writing before development starts.

Most clients stay on so the person who built their systems is on hand to refine and extend them, and to keep the funding position accurate where it is relevant. See funding support.
