Read moreThe process
- Step 01: Funnel map audit. A 90-minute working session on how enquiries, orders and paperwork move through your business today. You get a written plan with costs.
- Step 02: Proposal. Scope, deliverables, timeline and price agreed in writing before anything is built, so you know exactly what you're getting.
- Step 03: Project. Built in stages and tested against your own past enquiries and documents. The first piece goes live within weeks, with a plain-English runbook at handover.
- Step 04: Ongoing management. A monthly plan for monitoring, fixes and updates as your business changes, with a report you can check and one improvement each month.
About us
Level One builds the systems that answer every enquiry, run the routine back office and bring in new business for owner-led UK businesses. It's based in Edinburgh and run by Dean Finlayson, who builds and looks after every system himself.
Each project starts with how your business runs today. You get a fixed quote in writing, the first piece goes live within weeks, and you own everything that's built.
