Three ways Allan works with you

Onsite training, hands-on project management, and everything in between — always as the voice between you, your developer and your staff. If you just need a fast, affordable win, start with the $999 website.

01

The discovery chat

Before anyone recommends software, a developer or a supplier, Allan spends time understanding your business — what's slow, what's frustrating, and what "better" would actually look like for you and your staff.

This is deliberately not a sales call. It's the groundwork every other engagement is built on, including onsite training for websites and web applications where Allan walks your team through what they've been given.

Why this one isn't free

The chat carries a small consultation fee. It's not there to make money — it's there so the hour goes to people who are actually ready to make a decision, not just collecting quotes.

If you ask why it isn't free: a free first meeting attracts people comparing prices, not solving problems. A paid one gets straight to your actual situation, and if you go ahead with a project afterwards, it's credited back.

02

Consulting on larger projects

Software rollouts, website rebuilds, network changes — anything with enough moving parts that a wrong early decision gets expensive fast. Allan sits alongside you through scoping, vendor selection and the technical back-and-forth, so decisions are made by someone who understands both sides.

This covers the full range of what typically comes up in the IT space: software choices, hardware and router installs, and setting up ongoing customer support.

  • Reviewing proposals and contracts before you sign
  • Sitting in on developer or supplier meetings with you
  • Flagging scope creep and unclear pricing early
  • Plain-English progress updates for you and your team
03

Project management

Once a project is underway, someone needs to keep it on track — chasing deadlines, checking that what's delivered actually matches what was agreed, and staying in the loop between your developer and your staff day to day.

Allan handles that so you don't have to become a project manager on top of running your business.

Good to combine with

Larger project consulting often runs alongside project management once work begins — see how the two connect.

Also selling ready-made websites

If what you actually need is a simple website live fast, Allan's $999 starter site — built with local development partners — might be the quicker route.
