Book a consultation

Book a software consultation — free, 30 minutes

Tell us what you're trying to get done and we'll set up a free 30-minute video call to talk it through. You'll hear back from a person within one business day, and there's no obligation to go further afterwards. If you'd rather skip the call and get a written brief and quote, you can start a project through the client portal instead.

What happens on the call?

The consultation is a 30-minute video call with the same people who would do the work if you went ahead — there's no separate sales team. It costs nothing and you don't need a specification. The point is to work out whether we're the right fit and what a sensible first version looks like. We ask questions, you answer in whatever terms come naturally, and we'll be honest if the answer is that you don't need custom software for this.

We start with the problem you're trying to solve, not the technology you think you need.
We ask who will use it, how often, and what they do today instead.
We tell you on the call whether a starter website, a web app, or something custom is the right shape for it.
You leave with a rough sense of budget and timeline before you commit to anything.
You're welcome to bring a colleague or business partner — decisions are easier with everyone on the call.

How should I prepare?

Very little. A few minutes of thought beforehand makes the call more useful, but nothing on this list is required — 'not sure yet' is a perfectly good answer on the form and on the call.

Write down the one outcome that would make the project worth doing: more bookings, fewer hours on admin, a product you can sell.
Note what you use now, even if it's a spreadsheet, a paper diary, or a tool you've outgrown.
Have a rough budget range in mind. Our starting points are A$900 for a website, A$2,500 for a web app or MVP and A$4,500 for a custom engagement; your quote is worked out from what's actually in scope.
If there's a deadline that matters — a launch, a busy season, an event — tell us up front.
Links to sites or products you like (or dislike) tell us more than a written brief would.

What happens after we talk?

After the call you'll get a short written follow-up: what we understood, the approach we'd recommend, and a fixed quote if the scope is clear enough to price. If it isn't, we'll say exactly what we still need to know rather than guess. You decide what to do with it — there's no follow-up sales pressure.

The follow-up is in writing, so nothing depends on anyone's memory of the call.
The tier prices on the site are floors, not packages — your quote is worked out for your scope alone.
If the scope isn't clear enough to price yet, we'll tell you what we need to work it out.
If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and, where we can, point you somewhere better.
If you go ahead, the first thing we produce is something you can look at and react to, not an invoice for the whole build.

Is a consultation the right first step for you?

A call is most useful when the problem is clear but the solution isn't. You don't need a project name, a budget, or any technical vocabulary — just a situation you'd like to be different. If any of the following sound familiar, half an hour is usually enough to find out what's involved.

You're running part of the business on a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, or a paper system that breaks whenever someone's away.
Your current website was built from a template years ago and no longer says what you do or brings in enquiries.
You have an idea for a product and want to know what a first version would cost before you talk to anyone else.
You've been quoted for something and the number, the scope, or the explanation didn't sit right.
You're not convinced custom software is the answer, and you'd like a straight opinion from someone who'd tell you if it isn't.

Common questions

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The 30-minute call costs nothing and there's no obligation afterwards. We'd rather spend half an hour finding out whether a project makes sense than have you commit to something that doesn't.

Do we need to meet in person?

No. The call happens over video and we operate remotely, so your location doesn't change anything — interstate or overseas is fine. If video isn't practical for you, say so in the message and we'll sort out an alternative.

How quickly will you reply?

Within one business day, from a person rather than an automated message. If you send the form late on a Friday, expect to hear from us on the next business day. That first reply will suggest a couple of times for the call.

What if I don't know what I need yet?

That's a normal starting point, and the form has a 'Not sure yet' option for both project type and budget. Bring the problem, and we'll work out on the call whether it needs a website, a web app, or nothing custom at all.

What's the difference between the contact form and the portal?

The form gets you a conversation; the portal gets you a written brief and a quote. Use the form if you want to talk first, and the portal if you already have a clear idea and want to see numbers. Either way, you're dealing with the same people.
