We mean a portal that does real work, not more text, images and video. Your customers book themselves in and send you the details of the job, and your staff take it from there.
Your website looks fine. The trouble starts when you want it to do something.
We don't build marketing websites or do SEO. Plenty of people do that well, and we would rather point you to them.
Your current website can stay where it is. We build the part that does the work: the portal your customers and staff log in to, linked from the website you already have.
Built for your business, so it does what you need and nothing you don't.
Customers pick a time that suits them, and the booking lands where your staff can see it.
The address, what needs doing, photos and access notes, collected in one go instead of over three phone calls.
They can check progress themselves, so they don't need to ring and ask.
New bookings and jobs appear for the people who need them, with everything the customer sent.
Questions and answers between your staff and customers are kept with the job they are about, not lost in someone's inbox.
What the customer enters goes straight into your system, so nobody has to type it in again.
Plugins and add-on services are built for thousands of different businesses, so each one does its part of the job its own way. Getting them to share information takes work, and every update is a chance for something to stop.
That is not a mistake on your part. It is what happens when a website built to be read is asked to run part of your business. A portal built for your business does the job in one place, the way you already work.
You know exactly what you are getting, and what it costs, before the build starts.
Explain what you need your website to do and how the work happens today. We will tell you whether a portal is the right answer.
We write down exactly what will be built, in plain language you can check. That sets a firm, fixed price before you commit to the build.
We build it, test it with your team and look after it once it is live.
You own the custom code we write for your business. Your system also uses reusable Ocom components, which are licensed to you as part of the ongoing arrangement.
The first call is free. We don't publish prices for work we haven't scoped. Instead, a paid specification stage defines exactly what will be built, and that produces a firm, fixed price before you commit to the build.
A free call will tell you whether a portal is worth building. If your website just needs better words and pictures, we will say so.
