01Digital Foundations
Start with a website that does not exist, something digital that is not working, or a business process that wastes time. Beam & Bearing will define the smallest responsible way to improve it.
You do not need to know what technology to ask for. Predictable work can stay small and fixed-scope. Uncertain work is understood before it is quoted.
Start a conversation →02Three starting points
01
Understand what is wrong with the digital foundation you already have, then fix the parts worth fixing.
02
Establish a professional digital presence you actually own.
03
Remove repetitive digital friction from the way your business operates.
These are problem conditions, not upsell tiers. If the useful answer is one small fix, that is where the engagement can stop.
03Foundation Fix
Existing setup / paid review
$350
The review asks whether the business's basic public digital foundation is healthy, controlled, and trustworthy enough for customers to find it, understand it, and complete its primary next step. The fixed surface includes one to three named public pages rather than an open-ended site crawl.
The findings package records Keep, Fix, Watch, Not Verified, and evidence-based Now / Soon / Later recommendations. The useful answer may be to make two changes, keep watching, or do nothing further.
Uncertain repair work is diagnosed before it is quoted. That keeps a small repair from quietly becoming open-ended archaeology in a codebase, vendor account, or platform Beam & Bearing did not build.
Five triage-level checks
Illustrative report excerpt / Example only
This fictional excerpt demonstrates the report structure. It is not a client result, performance claim, or promise that every review will uncover work to do.
The report is useful even when the responsible conclusion is: No further work may be needed.
Fixed review surface
One business and one primary location
One primary domain and public website
One Google Business Profile, when one exists
One to three named public pages
One named ordinary customer action through its immediate completion or third-party handoff
Diagnose first
04Optional diagnostic depth
The base review is complete on its own. A module adds one named kind of diagnostic depth when the agreed question or observable conditions justify it.
No module is required to make the base review complete. Nothing is preselected, and a module does not include remediation or implementation.
Targeted technical, visual, and keyboard spot checks on the agreed pages; not a complete WCAG evaluation, legal determination, certification, or remediation.
Browser-observable cookies, storage, tags, trackers, forms, and visible notices on the agreed pages; not legal advice, applicability research, policy drafting, or remediation.
Public DNS and published-address observations for one business email domain; no mailbox access, test mail, recovery, DNS changes, or deliverability remediation.
Observable analytics and tag coverage around the agreed pages and customer action; not setup, attribution analysis, dashboards, complex debugging, or remediation.
A bounded assessment of apparent portability, backup, and recovery posture; not creating backups, exports, restore tests, migrations, recovery, or continuity implementation.
Website/mobile and performance snapshots for one to three additional named public pages; specialized diagnostic modules do not automatically extend to those pages.
05Separate implementation
The services below assume the client has the required access and the vendor supports the requested path. If either assumption is false, the work returns to diagnosis before more money is spent.
These are predictable implementation and service units, not diagnostic modules or automatic next steps. A client may stop after the report, act internally, or use another provider.
Ownership & presence
Predictable setup work when the required accounts are accessible and the third-party path is standard.
For domains you can already access: registration or transfer assistance, DNS configuration, and a plain-language record of what points where. Account recovery or disputed ownership is separately evaluated.
Professional email on your domain with sender authentication and core DNS configured and verified. Mailbox migration and end-user device support are separately scoped.
Accurate categories, hours, service area, and business details, plus assistance through the standard verification path. Platform approval, reinstatement, and ownership disputes remain controlled by Google.
Supported connections
One defined connection to an existing supported platform, tested and handed over against a written boundary.
An existing supported ordering platform connected to your site and tested on phones and desktops. Vendor migration or custom ordering software is separate work.
An existing supported appointment platform connected, tested, and handed over with clear notes for routine changes.
Supported online giving and event tools connected for churches, ministries, and nonprofits, with client-controlled accounts and documented handoff.
A supported hosted checkout or payment link connected to your site so card details stay with the payment provider. Custom card processing, stored payment data, and bespoke billing logic are not included.
Website enquiries routed reliably to the inbox or supported CRM where your team actually works, with field mapping and delivery verified.
Core business details aligned across the site and supported local-search profiles. No ranking guarantee; this establishes a clean, consistent foundation rather than selling ongoing SEO management.
06Foundation Launch
$1,500-$2,000
A focused responsive site with up to five core pages, contact flow, basic search structure, accessibility and performance fundamentals, and a clear ownership handoff.
$2,500
The site foundation plus one defined supported connection, such as booking, ordering, giving, hosted checkout, or lead routing.
Optional / when content changes often
A lightweight CMS or structured editor can be included when the client regularly changes things such as services, staff, events, menus, articles, or other defined content.
A CMS is not added simply to add another login. Stable brochure sites can remain intentionally simple. When editing is useful, the goal is structured control over content without turning the page layout into something a routine edit can accidentally break.
Final scope is written before work begins. Additional pages, copywriting, branding, photography, migrations, new integrations, and changed requirements are evaluated separately. There is no silent scope expansion.
For Foundation Launch, ongoing third-party hosting and vendor fees are paid directly by the client unless a written managed-service agreement explicitly includes them.
07Foundation Flow
A simple supported connection can remain fixed-scope. Once a workflow touches several systems, contains business rules, or needs exception handling, the first deliverable is definition, not code.
Paid definition / before custom automation
From $1,000
Turn “Melissa copies every lead from email into Excel and then texts the estimator” into a written system boundary that can be priced, tested, and handed over responsibly.
If an existing platform can solve the workflow cleanly, use it. If the remaining gap genuinely requires custom software, the work moves into Custom Systems with the definition already established.
08Optional recurring service
For businesses that want one accountable layer for lead handling, scheduling, follow-up, CRM workflow, or supported AI-assisted communication, Beam & Bearing can provide a managed workflow platform under an authorized reseller or managed-service model.
Managed Flow is not unlimited engineering and it is not a marketing agency retainer. The monthly agreement states platform access, included administration, usage charges, support boundary, portability, and exit terms before service begins.
Examples of managed capability
Lead capture and routing
CRM and opportunity stages
Scheduling and reminders
Customer follow-up workflows
Supported AI-assisted intake or communication
Monitoring and vendor administration within the agreed service boundary
09Ownership by design
Your domain, business data, content, and project-specific work remain your assets. Beam & Bearing may manage infrastructure or a reseller platform where that simplifies operation, but managed service does not mean hidden lock-in.
When Beam & Bearing supplies managed infrastructure, access, portability, support responsibility, data handling, and exit terms are documented before the recurring service starts.
Handoff and managed-service boundary
Anything beyond the written scope is quoted separately. The goal is recurring value where it makes sense, not a monthly fee that silently creates unlimited support obligations.
A website, one supported connection, a paid diagnosis, or a defined workflow can all be responsible first steps. The work only gets larger when the problem actually requires it.
