Your website should be bringing you work.
TDM Advisory builds small business websites and connects the software behind them. You get pages that load fast and explain the job in plain words, an enquiry route that reaches a person, and the tools you already pay for wired together so nothing is re-typed by hand. One person, a fixed quote, no retainer.
One person. Fixed scope. No retainers.
Works with the tools you already pay for
The four problems small businesses bring me
Almost every enquiry that reaches TDM Advisory describes one of four situations. The website was built once and never touched again, so it loads slowly and describes a business that has since moved on. Information is re-typed by hand between email, a spreadsheet and an invoicing tool, and something gets lost each time it is copied. Quotes leave late because the paperwork waits until the evening, by which point another supplier has already replied. Nobody can say which jobs are still open, because the answer is split between one person's memory, a notebook and a messaging thread. None of these are software problems on their own. They are gaps between the tools, and the fix is usually a clearer website plus two or three connections behind it.
- 01
The site was built once and never touched again
It loads slowly on a phone, the copy describes a business you have outgrown, and the enquiry form goes to an address nobody checks.
- 02
Everything is re-typed by hand
An enquiry arrives by email, gets copied into a spreadsheet, then typed again into the invoicing tool. Three chances to lose it, every time.
- 03
Quotes go out late
The work is done and the paperwork waits until the evening. The customer who called three suppliers hears from someone else first.
- 04
Nobody knows which jobs are still open
The answer lives in one person's head, a notebook, and a WhatsApp thread. Nothing agrees with anything else.
The three kinds of work TDM Advisory does
Most projects start with the website and grow into the systems behind it, and you can also start anywhere in the middle. Website design covers the writing, the design and the build of a small business site, with every account left in your name. Integrations connect tools you already pay for, so an enquiry entered once turns up in the calendar, the job list and the invoicing without anyone copying it across. AI automation handles the repeated admin around those systems, such as sorting an inbox or drafting a reply, with a person reviewing anything a customer will see. The three overlap, so a project often touches two of them, and each one is quoted as a fixed price before it begins.
Process
How a project runs, from teardown to handover
A project runs in five steps and you are free to stop after the first. The teardown is free: you send your website address and a note about what is slowing you down, and you get back a written review of the site, where it sits in search, and a sample redesign of your homepage. If you want to go further, scope comes next, where the work, the price and the dates are written into one document with no hourly billing. The build usually takes two to six weeks and happens in the open, so you see progress rather than a reveal at the end. Handover gives you the accounts, the logins, a recorded walkthrough and written notes. After that there is no retainer, and the next piece is scoped separately if you want it.

What happens to one enquiry before and after the work
The clearest way to see what an integration changes is to follow a single enquiry through the business. Before the work, it arrives in a shared inbox, the details are copied into a spreadsheet, a quote is written from scratch, the follow-up depends on somebody remembering, and the invoice goes out days after the job finished. After the work, the same enquiry lands in one place with the detail already captured, the job record is created for you, the quote is drafted from a template in minutes, the follow-up sends itself if nobody replies, and the invoice is raised the day the job closes. The tools are usually the ones you already pay for. What changes is that a record is entered once instead of four times.
Before
- Enquiry arrives in a shared inbox
- Details copied into a spreadsheet
- Quote written from scratch each time
- Follow-up depends on someone remembering
- Invoice raised days after the work
After
- Enquiry lands in one place with the detail already captured
- The job record is created automatically
- Quote drafted from a template in minutes
- Follow-up sends itself if nobody replies
- Invoice raised the day the job closes
This is what the work is aiming at. What it actually looks like for you depends on the tools you already use, which is what the teardown is for.
What you can hire TDM Advisory for
There are four ways to work together and each one is priced before it starts. The teardown is free and gives you a written review of your current site, where it sits in search, and a sample redesign of your homepage. A website build is a new site written and built end to end, with the accounts in your name. An integration project connects the tools you already pay for so records move between them without re-typing. An automation build takes one repeated task off someone's desk, with a person still checking the output. Everything except the teardown is a fixed quote agreed in advance, there is no hourly billing, and no engagement turns into a retainer unless you ask for the next piece.

The honest bit
Teardown
Free
A written review of your current site, where it sits in search, and a sample redesign of your homepage.
You can take the notes and do the work yourself. Plenty of people do.
Website build
Fixed quote
A new site, written and built end to end, with the accounts in your name.
If your current site is fundamentally fine, I will tell you and quote for the copy instead.
Integration project
Fixed quote
Connecting the tools you already pay for so records move between them without re-typing.
If one tool would replace three, that is cheaper than connecting all three. I will say so.
Automation build
Fixed quote
A specific repeated task taken off someone's desk, with a person still checking the output.
Anything that only happens twice a month is usually not worth automating.

A free review and sample redesign of your website
Send your address and I will write up what is costing you enquiries, where you sit in search, and then design a sample version of your homepage so you can see the difference rather than read about it. No call required to receive it.
