What you get
A website with its own dashboard
Most website builders hand you a page and leave. Every Great North client also gets an account to see what the site is doing, follow every enquiry, change their own words and photos, and reach us. These are the real screens.
Screens from a made-up business, Maple Ridge Roofing. The name, customers and numbers are examples, not a real client. Click any picture to enlarge it.
Enquiries and bookings
Every enquiry reaches you, and stays found
When someone fills in the quote form on your site, it is emailed to you straight away and saved in your account, so a missed email is never a lost customer. Online booking lets people pick a time from the hours you set, in their own time zone.
- New, contacted, quoted and won, counted at a glance
- Choose which email address enquiries go to
- Turn the booking card on or off with one tick
Booking is part of both hosting plans
Customers
A simple list that follows each one to a win
Every quote request and booking lands in one list, with the ones you add yourself. Mark each one new, contacted, quoted, won or lost, add notes and the value of the job, and filter for follow-ups that are due. Download the lot any time.
- Search by name, email or phone
- Estimated value on every job
- Add a lead yourself, or export everything as a spreadsheet
Every plan
Edit your site
Click anything on the page to change it
Your words, your photos and your layout are yours to change. Open the editor, click what you want to fix and type. Check it on a computer and on a phone, and nothing goes live until you press publish.
- Change words, look, layout and details
- A history of your changes
- Prefer not to? Ask us and we do it
Every plan. Hours of changes done for you are on Summit
Messages and requests
A direct line to us, not a ticket queue
Ask for a change, send photos, or just ask a question from inside your account. Every thread stays in one place with our replies, so nothing sits in an email you cannot find. We reply within one business day.
- Send photos and wording straight from your phone
- Add your social links and they appear on your site
- Replies from us are flagged until you read them
Every plan
Invoicing
Invoice your own customers from your account
Make an invoice, send it by email and see when your customer has opened it. The sales tax for your province is worked out for you, you mark an invoice paid when the money arrives, and one click sends a reminder when it is late.
- GST/HST, and PST, RST or QST where you charge it, added for you
- What is waiting, what is late and the tax charged this quarter, at a glance
- Download every invoice as a spreadsheet for your accountant
Selected plans: ask us which
Customers pay you directly, by e-Transfer, cash or cheque. We never touch their money.
Business email
An email address for your business, with the inbox in your account
Get an address like yourbusiness@greatnorth.agency and read, answer and tidy its mail without leaving your dashboard. When something arrives you are told, so a customer's question does not sit unseen.
- Inbox, sent and trash, with search
- Write and reply from your business address
- A note to your usual email when new mail arrives
Selected plans: ask us which
On your phone
It fits in your pocket
Most of our clients are on a roof, in a truck or behind a counter. The dashboard works on a phone: a menu under your thumb, and the same results, enquiries and customers as on a computer.
And more inside
The labels match the plan comparison on the pricing page, so you know exactly which plan has what.
Online booking
A booking card on your site, shown in each visitor's own time zone, with every booking added to your phone's calendar.
Both hosting plans
Text reminders
Texts that confirm and remind customers about a booking, with replies passed on to you. Up to 300 texts a month.
Summit
Review requests
A friendly ask, by text, for a Google review once a job is done, and a count of how many opened it.
Summit
Your Google listing
A checklist for your Google Business Profile, the box people see when they search for you on Google and Maps.
Every plan
Your own web address
We connect your own domain for you, and keep the site online, safe and backed up every day.
