Out of the spreadsheet by Friday.
You bring the spreadsheet, the inbox and the tool nobody logs into. We build the one system your team actually uses, fast, and hand it back working.
Systems we built are running today for the Davis Chamber of Commerce, Velocity Island Park and the Davis Zombie Bike Parade Festival.
Stuck in spreadsheets? We get you out.
When the week runs on any of these, the spreadsheet has become the system. Nobody chose it, and nobody can fix it on a Tuesday afternoon.
- A file called FINAL_v3 (2) that nobody dares rename.
- A tab everyone knows not to touch.
- One person who understands how the formulas work.
- Retyping the same numbers into QuickBooks every Friday.
- Asking the group text who has paid.
Start with a $500 Spreadsheet Teardown
One working call and a written teardown, so you know exactly what to fix before you spend another dollar.
-
Send the spreadsheet
The file or an export, plus one sentence on what it is for and who touches it. Three files is fine.
-
Walk it together
A 60-minute call on a shared screen: the columns, the formulas, the copies, and the tab nobody is allowed to touch.
-
Get the written teardown
Within a week: what the sheet is really doing, where it breaks and for whom, and the one move to make next, with a price.
Book first. You are invoiced $500 after the call, payable by check or by the invoice.
Real messes. Real systems.
Each one is running today. Every figure comes from the project's own records, as of August 2026.

Davis Chamber of Commerce
Davis, CA
37 of 37
board and ambassador logins tested end to end before staff were invited
- Mess
- Membership, renewals, billing and events on a paid SaaS platform, with the public website on WordPress.
- System
- Chamber HQ for members, renewals, invoicing, card payments and event check-in, plus a rebuilt davischamber.org.
- Outcome
- Card payments live on the chamber's own merchant account, with a person approving every autopay charge.
-
Velocity Island Park
Woodland, CA
9,578
booking clicks tracked, where bookings could not be measured before
- Mess
- A water park on WordPress, Xola and Zapier, with no way to see which pages sold tickets.
- System
- A fast rebuilt site with tracked bookings, online job applications, and a case board that replaced a shared Google Sheet.
- Outcome
- Booking clicks measured for the first time, 159 job applicants from Google Jobs, and hosting and automation bills gone.
-
The Silos and Costa Fuego
Velocity Island, Woodland, CA
1 day
to research, build and launch costafuego.com
- Mess
- A venue site on WordPress, and a renamed restaurant whose old domain was still sending local diners to the old name.
- System
- silosvip.com for weddings and events, costafuego.com with real menus, and the old domain redirected to the new name.
- Outcome
- Costa Fuego live in a single day, averaging position 1.2 in Google for its own name within days.
-
Davis Zombie Bike Parade Festival
Davis, CA
12 days
from the director's ask to the new site and Festival HQ live on the festival's domain
- Mess
- A festival website on Wix, with sponsors, volunteers and booth vendors managed somewhere else entirely.
- System
- A new public site on the front end, and Festival HQ behind it for sponsors, volunteer shifts, vendor booths and content.
- Outcome
- Asked on 15 August, live on zombiebikeparade.com on 27 August 2026, with 3,900+ photos moved over.
