How fast will I be live?

Most builds go live in about two weeks. Core ships fastest; Plus and Pro add a little time for the extra features (loyalty, catering), but the build window is still measured in weeks, not months.

Yes — always. Your content and data are exportable anytime, during your subscription and during the offboarding window if you ever leave. You are never locked in.

What exactly do I own, and what do you keep?

You own your data and content and can take them with you. We own, host, and maintain the software that runs it — that's what keeps it fast, secure, and never out of date, with nothing for you to maintain. You're buying a system that's run for you, not a pile of code to manage.

Why is it a subscription instead of a one-time build?

The monthly covers hosting, running, security, updates, and support — your system stays live and current instead of going stale the day it ships. Setup is one-time; the subscription keeps it healthy.

Can you work with the tools I already use?

Yes. For restaurants we build Square-native today, so your menu stays in sync with the Square account you already pay for — and we integrate other systems where the platform allows. Tell us your stack on the intake call and we'll confirm what's possible.

What if I need changes after launch?

Ongoing changes and care are what the subscription covers — Pro adds priority turnaround and monthly content ops. You won't be quoted a new project every time something needs to move.

Who actually does the work?

SPAO Systems is a focused studio. You work directly with the people who build and run your system — no agency layers, no account managers, no handoffs to junior staff.

Is my site fast, secure, and findable?

Yes — performance, accessibility, and SEO are built in, not bolted on. Sites ship at top performance scores by default.

What does the intake call cover — and is it a sales pitch?

We look at your business and tell you straight what we'd build, what it costs, and the timeline — even if the honest answer is “not yet.” No pressure, no obligation.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Pricing is public: a one-time setup and a flat monthly. What you see is what you pay.

Why custom

Built around your workflow, hosted and run for you, your data always yours.

Every build starts from your actual workflow — what your day looks like, what tools you already rely on, what tasks take the most time. The interface and the automation are designed around that, then built specifically for you.

Your data is always yours. Export it anytime while you're subscribed, and during the offboarding window if you ever leave. We host and run the system on our infrastructure, so you never maintain anything and it never goes stale.

The trade-off is honest: a clear conversation at intake, a small setup fee, and a build window that takes weeks rather than minutes. After that you subscribe month to month — no large upfront, the system stays maintained and current, and your data stays portable the whole way through.
