Fewer hand-offs. Better work.

Big agencies pass your project down the line: from an account manager to a strategist, to a designer, to a developer, to an analytics specialist, to a marketer, and on and on. Every hand-off adds time, and the finished work is only as good as the weakest person who touched it.

We work the other way. Our best people do most of these jobs themselves, start to finish, so nothing gets lost between desks. It is quicker, it is better, and because you are not paying for a chain of people, it costs less.

Everything you need to manage your site and see what we are doing for you is in one custom dashboard, in plain language: how people found you, what they did when they arrived, and what came of it. One login, one place to look, simple at a glance, and the detail is all there if you want to get into the weeds.

Frequently asked questions.

What does Blue-Chip Studios do?

We design and develop websites for small businesses, and give our clients our proprietary software to run the business behind them: a CRM, CMS, appointment scheduling, analytics, marketing, reporting and tools specific to your company and industry, all in one custom dashboard. One studio builds it, connects it and looks after it.

What comes with the custom dashboard?

Our proprietary software: a CRM for customers and enquiries, a CMS to edit your website, appointment scheduling with reminders, analytics and plain-English reporting, email and social marketing, and tools specific to your company and industry.

You only get the ones you will use, so the dashboard stays simple.

How do the tools work together?

They share one set of information. An enquiry from your website lands in your CRM, an appointment adds to your calendar and to that customer’s record, and a campaign’s results show up in your analytics next to the customers it brought in.

There is nothing to copy between apps and nothing to connect yourself.

Is this the same software big companies use?

No. It is our own proprietary software, built to give a small business the kind of capability large companies get from a stack of separate subscriptions, in one dashboard sized for your business.

Do I still need other software subscriptions?

For the jobs our software covers, no. That is the point: one dashboard, with no extra software to rent and no separate login for every job.

If there is software you want to keep, tell us and we will look at bringing its information into your dashboard.

Can you move my existing customers and content over?

Yes. We bring your customer list, upcoming appointments and website content across as part of the build, so you start with your history already in place.

Is it hard to learn?

No. It is written in plain language and shows only what your business uses. We walk you through it when it goes live, and you have one login for everything.

Can it be built around how my business works?

Yes. Alongside the CRM, CMS, scheduling and the rest, we build tools specific to your company and industry, so the dashboard follows the way you already work rather than the other way round.

What else do you do besides websites and software?

Strategy, SEO and local SEO, online marketing including paid advertising, social media, email and content marketing, branding and graphic design, copywriting, photography, cinematic video, drone cinematography and e-commerce. Everything we make for you can feed into the same dashboard.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes. Your website and your dashboard are both designed for phones first, so you can check enquiries, appointments and results from anywhere.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what your business needs. We look at how you work, scope it and give you a clear quote before anything starts, so you know the number up front.

Do I have to pay before you build it?

No. We scope it and quote it for free, then build it and show you it working before any money changes hands. If it does not do what we said it would, you walk away and you owe us nothing.

Who owns my website and my data?

You do. Your domain, your website content and all of your customer data are yours, and if you ever decide to leave, your data goes with you.

Who actually does my work?

The same senior person you meet at the start, from the first call to the last report. Your project is not passed down to a junior once the paperwork is signed.

Tell us a little about your business. We will show you a working dashboard set up for a business in the same industry as yours, so you can see exactly what you would get. No pitch deck, no obligation.
