Built for a client
Everest sales catalogue
The Everest sales catalogue for a building supplies business: every product by brand and category on the rep's phone, with or without signal. Reps share a live link with each customer, managers see which devices opened it, and the system flags links that have been passed around.
A normal week
Most building work still starts with a referral. A homeowner hears your name from a neighbour, then looks you up before phoning. The first thing they want is finished work that looks like their job. After that, they want to see you're registered and that a quote request will get an answer.
Sites fail on the phone. A gallery of full-size photos crawls on mobile data, and a contact form that only asks for a name and number means your estimator has to call back for everything else. A good site does that first round of questions for you.
Suppliers have a different problem. A contractor ordering materials wants the range and a person to call, quickly, often from site. We build for contractors like Bayco Projects, Alpine Roofing and Crafty Interiors, and for suppliers like Alpine Build and Star Readymix.
02Problems we hear
What goes wrong
- Our best jobs are on someone's phone, not on the website.
- Quote requests arrive with a name and a number and nothing about the job.
- The site takes forever to open when a client looks at it on site.
- We do roofs and ceilings, but the website only really talks about roofs.
- Our NHBRC registration is buried in a PDF nobody opens.
- Reps send out price lists that are stale by the time the customer reads them.
- We pay for ads and can't tell which enquiries they brought in.
- The last developer stopped answering, and we can't even change our own gallery.

What we'd set up
Project gallery
Finished jobs sorted by type, set up so the gallery opens quickly on a phone. Your office adds new jobs from the admin without calling us.
Websites →Quote requests that ask the right questions
The form asks what your estimator needs to know: the type of job, the suburb, a rough size and a few photos. It lands in the enquiry inbox, where nobody can overlook it.
Websites →Service and area pages
A page for each service and each area you actually work in, written the way people search, such as "roofing Queensburgh". Our SEO team adds to them monthly.
SEO →A catalogue your reps carry
A product catalogue that installs from the website onto a rep's phone and works without signal. Each customer gets a live link, so they always see the current range.
Web apps & systems →Enquiries traced to the ad
Campaign pages for the jobs you want more of, with every enquiry tracked to the ad, call or WhatsApp that brought it. The ad account stays in your name.
Google Ads →04AI
Tasks AI can take over
- Sorting quote requests by job type and suburb, and drafting a reply that asks for whatever is missing. Your estimator reads it and sends it.
- Turning a voice note from a site visit into a first draft of the scope of work. Someone who was on site checks the quantities before any price goes out.
- Writing captions and image descriptions for new gallery photos. The office approves them before they go live.
- Flagging catalogue links that have been forwarded beyond the customer they were sent to. A manager decides whether it needs a follow-up.

A 20-minute call

Live, then looked after
The subscription covers hosting, backups and the enquiry inbox once you're live. When something needs changing, you'll hear back by the next working day.
Questions
What people ask on the first call
If yours isn't here, WhatsApp it and you'll have an answer within one working day.
Most contractors fit our Business site, from R12 000, which gives you a page per service, an enquiry inbox and a blog you can edit. If you run ads and want every enquiry tracked to its source, the Enquiries and ads site starts at R25 000. The yearly subscription is R1 500 for Business and R3 000 for Enquiries and ads.
Yes. The admin is part of the subscription, so your office can put up a finished job with its photos without phoning us. Most contractors add a job or two a month.
Nobody can promise that. Our SEO for business websites is an optional R950 a month, and free monitoring stays on if you stop.
Yes. The Everest sales catalogue we built installs from the website and works offline, and each customer gets their own live link. A system like that is custom software, priced as a fixed amount once scoped, with simple systems running R50 000 to R120 000.
The domain is registered in your name, and your content and data can be exported any time. We keep the platform and code, licensed while you're subscribed. If you leave, on 30 days' notice, you get a static copy of the site's pages that any host can serve.
Photos of other people's homes
A finished kitchen or roof is somebody's house. Ask the owner before the job goes in your gallery, and leave out house numbers and anything that shows who lives there. Naming the suburb is usually enough for a buyer to see you work in their area.
Tell us what you need
Answer a few questions and the estimate shows on screen. The fixed quote follows within two working days of a short call.
