How a build runs
Four steps, from the first conversation to a site that is running. The work is ours. What we need from you is an hour on how the business really operates, your prices, and the rules you apply when somebody asks for something awkward.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
How does an Amysa website get built?
An Amysa build runs in four steps: a conversation about the jobs the site should handle, the build, going live, and keeping it running as prices and rules change.
- Step one agrees which quoting, booking and ordering jobs move onto the site.
- Step two builds the pages and wires in quoting, booking, ordering and payment.
- Step three tests real jobs, then moves the domain and email without breaking them.
- Step four keeps hosting, pages and the AI assistant current, from R750 a month.
What happens in the first conversation?
We work out which jobs your site should be doing that a person is currently doing.
We ask how the business actually runs. Who phones you and what they ask for. How you work out a price, including the awkward cases. What you say yes to and what you turn away. Where a booking ends up once you have taken it, and how many times somebody re-types it on the way. You do not need a brief written down. By the end we have an agreed list of what the site will handle, what stays with your team, and what it costs. If we think a new site is the wrong spend for you, we say so then.
This part is free, and you are not signing anything to have it.
What this step gives you
- A straight talk about how the work comes in and where it goes
- Your prices and the rules behind them, including the exceptions
- The jobs the site will handle, written down and agreed
- A price, and a date we can start
What happens while the site is being built?
The pages go up and the working parts get wired in behind them.
Writing and design run against the jobs we agreed, so the pages carry prices, availability and the answers people actually phone to ask. Then the working parts go in: quoting, booking or ordering, payment where you take it, and enquiries routed to wherever your team already looks. Amy is set up on your prices and your rules, including what she must hand to a human instead of answering. You get a link early and you watch it come together, so nothing is a surprise on launch day.
If you already have a site you like the look of, we can often keep the look and put the working parts in behind it.
What this step gives you
- Pages written around the jobs, not around the company history
- Quoting, booking, ordering and payment connected
- Amy set up on your prices, your rules and your handover points
- A link to watch it while it is being built
How does it go live without breaking anything?
We test with real jobs first, then move the domain and your email carefully.
Before anyone else sees it, we run real scenarios through the site. A booking for a busy weekend. A quote for the awkward job. A question Amy should refuse to answer and pass to you. We check the money lands and the notification arrives where it should. Then the domain moves across, with your email treated as the thing most likely to break, because it is. You carry on trading through the switch.
We do the move. You do not need to speak to your old host.
What this step gives you
- Real bookings, quotes and payments tested before launch
- Amy checked on the questions she must not answer alone
- Domain moved, email kept working
- Someone on hand on the day it goes live
What happens after launch?
Your prices move, your rules move, and the site has to move with them.
A site that takes money is not a thing you hand over and walk away from. Hosting, updates and security are ours. When you put rates up, change your hours or stop offering something, we change it, and Amy is corrected so she stops quoting the old number. We watch what people ask her and what she gets wrong, and we fix it. That is what the monthly plan pays for.
Monthly plans start at R750. The pricing page has the detail.
What this step gives you
- Hosting, updates, backups and security handled
- Price, rule and page changes when the business changes
- Amy corrected when she gets something wrong
- A person to email when you need something changed
Questions about how it works
Direct answers.
It depends on how much the site has to do. A site that quotes a short list of services is quicker than one that takes bookings, payments and deposits across several branches. We give you a date in the first conversation, before you commit to anything.
The first conversation, an hour or so of your prices and rules, and a look at the site while it is being built. We write the copy. You tell us where we have the business wrong.
Usually. The look is not the thing we are fixing. If you are happy with how it reads, we can keep it and put the quoting and booking in behind it. That costs less than starting again.
Amy is the AI assistant on your site. She answers questions, gives prices and takes bookings using the rules you set. She is an AI and the site says so. We set limits on what she may answer, and anything outside them goes to a person.
They go where your team already works, so nobody re-types anything. If you use a booking system or an inbox that works, we connect to it rather than replace it.

Tell us what still happens on the phone, and we will tell you what the site could take over, and what it costs.
