Digital Tools & Workflows

Calculators, forms, trackers, and connected workflows built around the way your business actually works.

Many tools start inside a website project, where a repetitive, confusing, or manual step sits behind the site. A tool can also be its own project: if your website already works and the problem is a process behind it, we can start there.

Example data An example, with invented names: Veymont Films shooting a plant film for Tervane Marine Systems. Before: the shoot is spread across five places. The client’s brief sits in a long email thread, where a note that Bay 3 is off limits is buried in a quoted reply; the shot list spreadsheet still plans welding close-ups in Bay 3 and has no crew for one shot; call times go out by text, and on the morning of the shoot the camera operator is stuck at the gate because the crew is not on the badge list; the client’s feedback about an old logo is left in a voicemail; and the invoice is an unsent draft in a separate app. After: one production record for the Tervane plant film. It shows the brief and deliverables with the Bay 3 note, the crew with their call times, the shoot day with badges sent, the client review with version 2 approved, the invoice sent, and a short history from the signed-off brief twelve days ago to the invoice sent today. Use the slider to compare.

Real business proof

Two working examples show how a business process can become something clearer for customers and easier to manage.

Real client work

Oddity Decor Store estimate and inquiry workflow

A real service process translated into a practical calculator: customers can work through service options, see a useful estimate, and carry the details into an inquiry. Supporting price and estimate materials keep the same process usable off the website.

Real client work

Rogue Beast Co. pre-order batches and print list

Pre-orders close on a set date. Then a small tool reads the paid orders from the store’s Stripe account and writes a print list by design and size, leaving out fully refunded orders and flagging partial refunds before anything is printed. Shown here with made-up sample orders.

Customer-facing tools

Tools that help a customer provide the right details, understand options, or get to a useful next step.

Smart Order Form example: two invented line items with discounts, delivery, sales tax and the order totalSmart Order Form example: two invented line items with discounts, delivery, sales tax and the order total
Example tool

Smart Order Form

Trade customers build an order with price breaks, account pricing and delivery rules worked out as they go, then review it before it’s placed.

Pricing and Quote Calculator example: an invented machined-part quote with setup, machining and material, the quote total and the price per partPricing and Quote Calculator example: an invented machined-part quote with setup, machining and material, the quote total and the price per part
Example tool

Pricing & Quote Calculator

Pricing rules for four invented businesses, from a machine shop to an IT support firm, turned into a clear quote with a price per unit.

Internal business tools

Trackers and dashboards can make ownership, deadlines, risks, and follow-up easier to see. The examples below use sample data and do not represent client engagements.

Proposal Tracker example: the milestone timeline of an invented proposal, two milestones done and the red team review nextProposal Tracker example: the milestone timeline of an invented proposal, two milestones done and the red team review next
Example tool

Proposal Tracker

Tasks, owners, deadlines and status for a proposal already in progress, with reminder rules that flag what’s due, late or blocked.

Project Tracker example: overall progress at 43 percent and health marked Needs attention for an invented ERP rolloutProject Tracker example: overall progress at 43 percent and health marked Needs attention for an invented ERP rollout
Example tool

Project Tracker

Milestones, risks, owners and progress in one view, for any kind of project: a system rollout, a clinic change or an office move.

Sales Pipeline Dashboard example: open pipeline, weighted forecast, win rate and late follow-ups, using invented figuresSales Pipeline Dashboard example: open pipeline, weighted forecast, win rate and late follow-ups, using invented figures
Example tool

Sales Pipeline Dashboard

Open and weighted value, stages, owners and late follow-ups, updated as each deal changes.

Example workflow: an invented quote is accepted, an order is created, project milestones and owners are set, and the deal moves to WonExample workflow: an invented quote is accepted, an order is created, project milestones and owners are set, and the deal moves to Won
Example workflow

Connected workflows

When several pieces need to share information, they can be scoped as one connected system rather than separate tasks.

When a tool makes sense on its own

Sometimes the website is fine and the problem is a process behind it: quotes that take too long, requests that arrive missing details, or work tracked across inboxes and spreadsheets. Then a tool can be its own project. A few things get settled before I quote it:

  • Your data. What the tool holds, where it’s kept and who can see it. I ask only for what the tool needs, and I can often build with sample data first.
  • Sign-in. Whether people need their own accounts, or a shared spreadsheet or a single page will do.
  • Hosting. Where the tool runs, whose account it’s in, and any running costs.
  • After launch. Who keeps it working when something breaks or your process changes. Support after the build is agreed in your quote.
Examples show capabilities, not fixed packages. The appropriate scope depends on how much existing structure can be reused, the fields and logic required, workflow complexity, and whether multiple pieces need to connect. Rich dashboards and connected workflows are not automatically included in the Starter Tool. Supporting materials are scoped separately where appropriate.

Supporting Materials

Useful beyond the screen

Some business processes also need a price sheet, printable form, or branded operational document. Those materials support the same workflow away from the screen, and they’re scoped on their own.
