Practical tools for people running small businesses. Simple, self-service, and built to bring you enquiries — that's the lead generation, built in.
Give your website a simple assistant that answers common questions using information you approve — hours, services, service area, booking link. When a question isn't covered, it offers to take the visitor's contact details for you.
Choose a template, add your business name, explore colours, and download your design — logos, brand palettes, and banners sized for where you actually use them.
Eleven complete website designs. Make your brand first, pick the look you like, and we put your brand on it — home, about, services, gallery, reviews, and contact pages. See the pack.
Every website template carries a lead form that sends each enquiry straight to you. The FAQ bot captures contact requests around the clock. As much lead generation as we can give you, free.
Three steps. No sales call, no payment — just the tools.
Start in the free Brand Studio: your business name, your colours, your logo and banners — made in your browser, downloaded in minutes.
Pick the look you like from the template pack — eleven hero pages, previewed live below with a sample business so you can compare them side by side.
Your logo, colours, services, service area, and number — and the lead form wired so every enquiry lands straight with you. Add the free FAQ bot whenever you're ready.
Built by Bang Bui in Nanaimo, BC.
Your data, handled openly. Only the accounts you approve get connected, and this page names every tool involved.
Documented, not a black box. What each tool does, what it collects, and how the day-to-day works — in plain language.
You stay in the loop. The words and calls it's approved to make are set by you before anything goes live.
Honest about the limits. If a free tool isn't worth it for you, I'll tell you. That's included.

A complete flooring business site — brand, copy, photography, booking flow — built start-to-finish as a working system. It answers its own phone.
Your website, answering questions while you work. Build your FAQ bot right here — it answers from information you approve, and when a question isn't covered, it offers to take the visitor's name and number for you. That's a lead, captured free.
You write the questions and answers — hours, services, service area, prices you choose to share. The bot never invents an answer.
When a visitor asks something outside your FAQs, the bot offers to take their contact details and passes them straight to you.
Website FAQ only. No voice, SMS, appointment scheduling, or custom integrations. Monthly usage limits apply so the service stays free for everyone.
The builder is rolling out now — get started free and we'll set yours up with you.
