What happens on the intro call?+
A free 15-minute call, one-on-one. I learn how your business runs and give you a clear read on where AI actually helps — and where it’s just hype. If a build makes sense afterward, that’s the natural next step — whether you build it yourself or with me.
Can this work with my existing phone number?+
Yes. We can route your current number through the new system so customers keep calling the number on your truck, your sign, and your business cards.
Can it integrate with QuickBooks, Square, Stripe, Shopify, or my CRM?+
Almost always yes if the tool has an API — and most of these do. I’ll confirm the specifics on the first call.
Do I need to be technical to run it?+
No. It’s built for your team, not engineers. You get a walkthrough and documentation at hand-off, and your front desk uses it day one.
How much does it cost?+
The intro call is free. A focused build — online booking with automated reminders, say — typically lands in the $5k–$15k range. Larger systems like an AI phone assistant or a multi-phase operations build run $25k–$100k. Every project is a fixed fee or a weekly retainer agreed up front — no hourly billing, no surprises.
How long until it’s live?+
A focused build (booking + reminders, say) can be a few weeks. Larger multi-phase work runs two to six months. I’ll give you a real timeline on the call.
What about support after launch?+
You’re not stranded. Hand-off comes with a walkthrough and documentation, and most clients keep a small monthly retainer for fixes and improvements — the McFly Plumbing build works exactly that way. Either way you own the system and can take it anywhere.
Do I own the code when it’s done?+
Yes — full ownership transfers to you at the end. The IP terms are spelled out in the engagement letter before any work starts.
