--- title: "What We Build" description: "What a website, a client portal, a CRM you own, automations and integrations each do for your business, when you need one, and what each costs. Wired into Clio." source: "https://www.weblux.co/what-we-build" --- # What We Build Five systems: a website, a client portal, automations, integrations, and a CRM the business owns outright. Each one below says what it does, when you would want it, what it looks like in a business, and how it is priced. The free consultation decides which of them you need and in what order. ## 01 — Websites *A site that brings in work and sends it where you will see it.* Most small business websites are brochures. They sit off to one side of the software that runs the company, so every inquiry they win gets typed in a second time by a person. We build the site and the wiring in the same pass. An inquiry arrives where the work happens. ### What it does - Designed and built on your own domain - Fast, easy to read on a phone, and set up to be found on Google - A contact form that lands in your inbox or in Clio, Jobber or ServiceTitan - Copy you can change without calling us ### Useful when - Your site is a brochure nobody has updated in years - Inquiries come by phone because the form goes nowhere useful - You do not show up on Google for what you do in your town ### What it looks like - A plumbing company: a site that shows up for “plumber in Baton Rouge” and puts every inquiry into Jobber. - A law firm: a site whose intake form opens a lead in Clio the moment it is sent. **Pricing:** $1,000 to $3,000, fixed before we start. A business card redesign is included. ## 02 — Client portals *A place where your clients see their own status, documents and invoices.* Your team already tracks status, documents and invoices. Your clients can see none of it, so they call to ask, and somebody stops mid-task to answer. A portal turns that interruption into a page the client opens themselves. ### What it does - Status a client can read without picking up the phone - Documents shared and signed in one place, instead of down an email chain - Invoices a client can see and pay from the same login - Locked down, so no client can ever see another client’s file ### Useful when - Clients call to ask where things stand - Documents travel by email chain and get lost on the way - Somebody stops work to read a screen out loud to a client ### What it looks like - A law firm: clients see the status of their matter, sign what needs signing and pay the invoice in one login. - A contractor: customers see the schedule, the quote and the photos from the job. **Pricing:** $5,000 to $7,000 with client intake, fixed before the build. ## 03 — Automations and AI *The repetitive typing and chasing, done automatically.* Someone on staff moves the same information between four tools every morning. They stopped mentioning how long it takes years ago. This is the safest work to automate, because the rules already exist: they live in that person’s head, and they can recite them. AI is used where it earns its place, for reading, drafting and routing, with a person in the loop wherever a mistake would cost money or trust. ### What it does - Inquiries routed and followed up without anyone remembering to - Documents drafted from data you already hold - Reminders and status changes that fire off the work itself, not a calendar - A person checks before anything unusual goes out ### Useful when - Somebody moves the same information between tools every morning - Follow-ups happen when someone remembers, and sometimes nobody does - Documents get built by copy and paste from last time ### What it looks like - An accounting practice: new-client paperwork drafted from the details already in the system, reviewed, then sent. - A clinic: reminders and intake forms sent from the schedule, with a person checking before anything out of the ordinary goes out. **Pricing:** Scoped with you in the free consultation. A fixed price before the build. ## 04 — Integrations *The tools you already pay for, behaving like one system.* This is the part that is usually missing. Good industry software comes with a way to plug other things into it, and almost nobody uses it. We read the documentation, confirm what the system will let us do, and only then say what we will build. Nothing is promised before it has been checked. ### What it does - Clio, ServiceTitan, Jobber, QuickBooks, Xero and DocuSign, joined up - Things happen the moment they happen, not the next time somebody checks - Every connection checked against the system’s own documentation before we quote ### Useful when - The same job is typed into three systems by hand - The CRM and the accounting software disagree about what happened - Nobody trusts the numbers because they were copied by a person ### What it looks like - ServiceTitan to QuickBooks: a finished job becomes an invoice without a person retyping it. - A website form to Clio: an inquiry becomes a lead the moment it is sent. **Pricing:** Scoped with you in the free consultation. A fixed price before the build. ## 05 — A CRM you own *The system your business runs on, built for it and owned by it.* Every CRM you can rent was designed for somebody else’s business, and the rent never stops. For an established business the alternative is a CRM built around its own pipeline, stages and follow-ups, wired into the systems it already runs, and owned outright at handover: code, rights and all. Owned software is an asset on the books, and it can count toward the value of the business when it is sold. Most businesses do not need this, and the consultation says so when that is the case. ### What it does - Your pipeline, your stages, your follow-ups and your reports - Wired into your website, your accounting and your field or practice software - The code and the intellectual property are yours at handover - Documented so another developer could take it on ### Useful when - The CRM you rent makes your team work its way instead of yours - You are building the business to sell or to raise, and want its tools on the books - Per-seat licences cost more every year and buy nothing new ### What it looks like - A contractor: leads from the site, the phone and the trucks in one pipeline, estimates and invoices drawn from it, and the whole thing owned by the company. - A professional practice: intake, matters and billing in one system the firm owns, with no licence to renew. **Pricing:** $50,000, fixed. You own the code and the rights when the work is done. ## They ship together These are not five separate projects. A site that captures a lead is worth more when the lead lands in your business software. A portal is worth more when the statuses inside it update themselves. The examples above are illustrative.
