What is the process and the time commitment for me?

While I handle the heavy lifting, your involvement is important at key stages to ensure your system reflects your business accurately. Here's what to expect: Onboarding Questionnaire (3-4 hours), Strategy Call (2 hours), Finalize Content (2-3 hours), Build with occasional feedback (1-2 hours), Offboarding Call (90 minutes), and Testing and Support (2+ hours).

How long does it take to complete a Dubsado setup?

Once all pre-work is complete, your setup is typically completed within one week. We complete the strategy and pre-work beforehand so the build moves quickly once we start.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. All setups have a 50/50 payment plan. The first installment is due when you sign the contract to secure your spot. The second is due before your build date.

Do you provide support once the setup is complete?

Yes. A support period is included so you feel confident using your new system. During this time, I'm available for questions as you start bringing clients through your workflows. A set number of hours for small edits or calls is included to ensure everything runs smoothly. You'll also receive access to a Dubsado video library for continued reference.

Do you write the emails for the setups?

Yes. Canned emails are written for you and tailored to the client process we map out together. If you already have drafts you love, I'll refine them. Otherwise, I can draft the first version for you.

Is there a lower cost option if I'm not ready for a full setup?

If you're still mapping out your process or want clarity before committing to a full build, a Client Process Strategy Session might be the right first step. We spend 2 hours mapping your full client journey together and you walk away with a written summary and clear next steps. If you already have some forms or emails built in Dubsado and are ready for a full setup, the investment remains the same regardless. My goal is to deliver a system that is guaranteed to work, which means reviewing and rebuilding every piece to make sure everything connects perfectly.

Who this is for

This is for wedding planners, photographers, coaches, and service-based business owners who chose HoneyBook because it looked approachable, and then realized a great setup still takes real time and expertise to get right.

You’re a great fit if you:

Your offers are set and your client process is repeatable - you're not still figuring out what you sell or who you serve
You know how you want your client experience to feel, and you're ready to stop running it manually
You're tired of rewriting the same onboarding emails and chasing down unsigned contracts
You're comfortable with tech and see software as something that works for you, not something to figure out later
You want your backend to reflect the quality of work you're already delivering
You understand this is a collaborative process. I handle the build, but your input at key stages is what makes the system actually fit your business
You'd rather invest in getting it built properly than piece it together on your own

If that sounds like you, we're probably a great fit. Book a call and let's find out.
