A few things you might be wondering
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Is the website preview really free?
Yes. The initial draft is free to view, with no card required. Your 48 hours begins on your first login, not when we send the invitation. We agree any paid work with you before going ahead.
What happens after the 48 hours?
The private preview pauses. You won’t be charged automatically. If you’d like to continue, we’ll talk through changes, ongoing care and the price before publishing your website for customers.
I’m not very confident with technology. Is this for me?
Absolutely. We start with what you need your business to do and explain each step in everyday language. We handle setup and give you practical guidance.
Do I have to change everything at once?
No. We can start with a website, your enquiries or one time-consuming task. Where possible, we connect the tools you already use and build from there.
Can you build something just for my business?
Yes. We can create a simple app or system for the way your business works — for example, to manage stock, track orders or organise your team. We start by understanding the job you need help with, then agree what to build and what it will cost. We’ll show you how to use it and discuss ongoing support.
What does “AI” actually do for my business?
It can help answer common questions using your business information, draft replies and organise enquiries. You decide what it can handle. Anything uncertain or sensitive should go to a person.
How much will it cost?
It depends on what you need. After a conversation, you’ll receive a clear proposal showing setup costs, ongoing support and any separate software or usage charges. Paid work starts once you’ve agreed the scope and price. Your initial website draft is free to preview.
Can you update things after they’re built?
Yes. Your support plan will set out the amendments included and expected turnaround times. Larger additions are scoped and priced before work begins.
Are you local to me?
Our initial focus is Portsmouth, Fareham, Gosport, Stubbington and nearby areas. Tell us where you’re based so we can discuss the best way to work together.
A small step. A friendly conversation.
Let’s make your
working day easier.
