Tell us about your project

What do you want to build, and what's getting in the way today?*

A few sentences is plenty. It's the starting point for your brief.

Which best describes your business?*

A service business, with clients, bookings or projects

A membership, education or community organisation

A startup building a product of its own

Mostly an online shop selling physical products

Something else

How many separate apps does it take to run the business? Count the website, CRM, email marketing, invoicing, bookings, forms and spreadsheets.*

One or two

Three to five

Six or more

How often does someone copy the same details from one app into another?*

Rarely

Every week

Every day

Which is closest to your website today?*

We update it easily and it does what we need

It's hard to update, or we wait on someone else to change it

It looks fine, but enquiries from it don't reach the rest of the business

We don't have one, or it needs replacing

Where do you keep track of customers and enquiries?*

In a CRM that suits how we work

In a CRM that doesn't really fit how we work

In email and spreadsheets

Nowhere in particular

How closely does the way you sell and deliver match what off-the-shelf tools expect?*

Closely. We work the way most businesses like ours do

Mostly, with a few workarounds

Not well. We work around our tools every day

How much does it matter where your data lives and who controls it?*

Not much, as long as it's backed up

It matters. We'd rather own it than rent it

Clients, contracts or regulation require us to control it

Are you building something your own customers will use, like an app, a portal or a marketplace?*

No, this is for running our own business

Yes, it's at the idea stage

Yes, and we have a prototype or early customers

Is fixing this a priority for the business this year?*

Yes, and we've set budget aside

Yes, but we haven't decided the budget

We're exploring for now

Not this year
