A quote that takes two days is a lost order
Websites, quoting and artwork systems for printers and sign makers, built around jobs that are all slightly different.

Print quoting is a specification problem. Size, stock, quantity, finishing and delivery all move the price, and a customer emailing please quote for some leaflets has given you none of it, so every enquiry begins with an exchange that costs a day.
Artwork is the second delay. Files arrive in the wrong format, at the wrong resolution, without bleed, and the back and forth to fix them is unbilled work that lands on the same person every time.
The search side is not separate from that. Product searches such as business cards, banners or vehicle graphics, plus a town, from buyers comparing three quotes. Ranking for those means the pages exist, the business is verified where it operates, and the reviews are real and recent.
What we build for printing & signage
- Quotes from a specificationSize, stock, quantity and finishing captured properly, so a price goes out in an hour.
- Artwork checked on uploadFormat, resolution and bleed flagged at the point of upload rather than two days later.
- Ordering onlineStandard products bought without a quote at all, which is the highest-margin work you can automate.
- Local searchRanking in every place you actually serve, with a verified profile and recent reviews.
How a job moves through a print shop
The press is fast; the hours go on everything around it.
Specification and quote
It stalls when the customer asks for some leaflets and nothing else, and it moves when a form captures size, stock, quantity and finish.
Artwork received
It stalls when files arrive without bleed or at low resolution, and it moves when they are checked at upload.
Proof approved
It stalls when proofs go back and forth by email with no record of sign-off, and it moves when approval is one click and logged.
Printed and delivered
It stalls when the customer calls to ask if it is ready, and it moves when they are told at despatch with tracking.
Services that go with it

- System IntegrationWeb orders flowing into the print management system stop a job being retyped onto a job bag.

The infrastructure under it
Managed by the engineers who build the software, on the same contract and the same bill.
Cloud Servers
Artwork files are large and arrive all day, and upload and preflight need servers that do not choke on them.
Backup & Recovery
Approved artwork is kept for reprints, sometimes years later, and losing it means asking the customer to start again.
Priced and ready to order
A fixed scope and the price on the card. The line on each one is why it matters in this trade.

What one contract covers
- One contract. The build, the infrastructure and the work that brings people to it, on one invoice.
- A named team. The person on the first call stays on the project. No account managers, no handoffs.
- Operated, not delivered. We keep it running after launch: patching, backups, monitoring and the phone when it breaks.
- European hosting. Servers in Europe, run by us, with the data staying where you expect it to.
- Monthly reporting. What changed, what it cost and what it produced, in language you can forward to a board.
- No lock-in. The code, the domains and the accounts are yours. Leaving is a handover.
