Websites, SEO & automation for small businesses
Lookmodern.Runmodern.
Run modern is the half most businesses skip. Invoices get retyped, forms get refiled, and the books fall a month behind. We automate the work software should be doing, including the bookwork your office does by hand. Then we build the site, and the search presence, that brings the work in.
Built for contractors, shops, clinics, salons, restaurants, and offices. Any small business with paperwork it shouldn’t be doing.
01 Head loss
The paperwork, off your plate.
Head loss is what engineers call the energy a system gives up to friction. In a small business it’s the evening you spend on paperwork instead of the work: invoices, filings, and bookwork that never quite gets caught up. Most of it follows the same steps every single time, which means software can do it.
Audit first
Before we build anything, we look at how the work actually moves and tell you what’s worth automating. Free, and yours to keep.
Workflow automation
The recurring office tasks, done by software instead of your evenings. That includes pulling data out of long supplier PDFs.
Custom integrations
Connect the tools you already use, like your CRM, accounting software and supplier portals, so nothing gets copied by hand.
Bookkeeping automation
The bookwork your office staff does by hand, like entering invoices or rebuilding the same monthly spreadsheet, done by software instead.
For a food equipment dealer, we built an automation that reads long supplier invoice PDFs and fills out the warranty registrations, so nobody has to retype them.

03 Intake
A site that gets found and gets the call.
Every website we build is mobile-first, fast, and hosted by us. Then we do the part a lot of web designers skip: making sure people can find it on Google, on Maps, and in the answers AI assistants give.
Mobile-first design
Looks great on the phone first, where most leads find you. Desktop comes after.
Fast, hosted, maintained
Pages that load before customers lose interest. We host the site and make the edits you email us.
SEO
Set up to rank for the work you do, in the towns you serve, with your Google Business Profile matching the site.
AEO
When someone asks ChatGPT or Google’s AI who to call, clear answers and structured data help it get your business right.
04 Runoff
No surprises. One point of contact.
You’re not getting handed off to a project manager you’ve never met. The same person who takes your discovery call is the one doing the work, whether that’s writing your copy, fixing your listings, or building the automation.
- 01
Discovery call
15 minutes. We learn your business and where the time goes: a dated website, a business that’s hard to find online, a stack of filings, or bookwork that eats someone’s week.
- 02
Mockup, map, or plan
Websites get a homepage concept. Automations, bookwork included, get a plain-English map of the workflow. SEO gets a written plan. Every one comes with a price before you commit.
- 03
Build
The site gets built and the copy written. Automations run in a sandbox against your real documents until the output is right.
- 04
Launch & support
Site live, automations running, listings current. Ongoing edits and adjustments are handled by us.
