What exactly happens in the free audit?
We spend about 30 minutes looking at the software you use, what you pay for it, and the repetitive tasks taking up your time. You receive a written plan showing what we recommend changing and why. There is no obligation to move forward.
Do I need to be technical to use this?
No. We set up the system, connect the tools, and walk you through using them. Your managed plan covers updates, monitoring, backups, and support. You focus on running your business.
Can I keep tools that already work for me?
Yes. The audit starts with your workflow. We identify what makes sense to keep, connect, or replace, including any features and integrations you rely on. A replacement is only useful if it fits the job.
Why is there a monthly fee if I own the system?
Your monthly plan pays for our ongoing work: updates, backups, monitoring, maintenance, and support. It does not rent you access to your software. Your data and configuration remain under your control, subject to each software license.
What will it actually cost?
Builds start at $750, with managed plans from $199 per month. Hosting and your domain are paid directly to your providers. We confirm your scope and the full cost in the audit before you commit. See pricing and plan details.
What if I decide to leave?
Managed plans are month to month, with 30 days’ notice. You keep your website, business data, and system configuration, and we hand over every login and help with export. If a premium tool on your site is licensed under Builtstead’s account, you may need your own license to keep getting its updates. Annual prepayment is optional.
How soon could my system be live?
Most builds take about 30 days. The exact timeline depends on the scope, data migration, and the accounts we need to connect. Your blueprint sets out the sequence before the build begins.
