Software

The website is rarely the hard part.

Plenty of businesses are not held back by how they look online. They are held back by jobs tracked in a notebook, a schedule that lives in one head, and reminders nobody sends. That is software, and it is a different job from a website.

What it is

A system fitted to one business.

Not a template with the name changed, and not a general tool bent into shape. These are the parts a built system is made of.

01 / RECORDS

The things the business really tracks.

Customers, sites, staff, jobs, equipment: whatever the work is actually made of, with the fields that matter to it rather than the fields a generic tool happens to offer.

02 / WORKFLOW

The states a job moves through.

In the real order, including the awkward ones. A job that is quoted, booked, waiting on a part and waiting on the customer is four different things, not one column called "open".

03 / ATTENTION

What is slipping, without being asked.

Rules that surface the overdue, the unassigned, the unanswered and the due-for-a-return-visit, so noticing does not depend on somebody remembering to look.

04 / SCHEDULE

Reminders that send themselves.

A service due in eleven months is a scheduled message, not a note in a diary that moves house every January.

The people who run the business sign in to all of it. Everyone else sees only the part they need. Where there is a website too, it reads the same records, so opening hours and services are stated once instead of drifting apart in two places.

Why Ez does not do this

Bounded work can be manufactured.

Ez is fast because the job has edges: a known shape, a known scale, a known price. This work has none of them.

Operating software has none of those edges. Manufacturing it the same way was tried and it is not offered, and it will not be offered until it is good enough to carry the same promise Ez carries. What is on offer here is the other thing: the work done deliberately, for one business at a time, by people who stay responsible for it afterwards.

What it costs

From $1,500 to set up, then $150 a month.

That is the floor, not a quote. Scope is agreed before anything is built, so the real number is known before the work is.

Only need a website?

The website routes

$149 once, or $59 a month
  • Self-serve through Ez, previewed free
  • Or researched and written by Ermaz
  • Bounded scope, so the price can be printed

Why that is a floor and not a price. Ez prints $149 because its scope is genuinely bounded, and nearly every site it builds comes in between five and nine pages. This work has no such edge. Below the floor it cannot be done properly, and above it the figure depends on what the business turns out to need. Printing one fixed number for unbounded work would be a claim that could not be stood behind, and this site argues a business should never state what it cannot support. That has to apply to its own prices first.

Evidence

You cannot open this one.

A service has no link to click, so the evidence is the other work. Six products were built and are run here, and every one of them opens in a browser right now.
