Business OS beta

Quote, invoice and get paid from one screen you own.

Business OS is the all-in-one back office that runs my own studio and a 32-year bathroom renovator: leads, quotes, invoices, job photos, finance and a live client portal, in a single file you own outright. I will set it up for your trade, or build it into a new site.

Self-hosted on your own domain. Pay once. No monthly platform rent.

This is not a mock-up. Business OS runs this very studio. Every lead, quote, invoice and client on zacwebsites.com.au goes through it, every day, and it is re-skinned for a working bathroom renovator too.

The problem

Your business lives in a dozen tabs.

A spreadsheet for invoices. A separate app for quotes. Job photos buried in your phone. A customer asking where their paperwork is while you are up a ladder. It works, until it does not, and the admin quietly eats your nights and weekends.

Details typed twice

The same customer name, address and job re-keyed into every quote, invoice and agreement.

Cash slips through

No clear view of what is sent, what is overdue, and what you have actually been paid.

Nothing in one place

Leads, documents and files scattered across apps you rent and can lose access to.

See it work

Don't take my word for it. Click around the real thing.

A sandboxed snapshot with sample data, running the same screens as the live app. Advance a deal, generate a document, raise a care plan invoice or mark one paid, and watch every number move in real time.

What it does

One hub for sales, clients, documents and money.

Pick a client once and every document fills itself. Generate a polished PDF and it is logged, linked and counted automatically. Nine tools that all read from the same place, so the whole business is on one screen.

Clients + pipeline

One record per client. Every deal on a board.

Each client is a single record every tool reads from: details, documents, photos, revenue and a full timeline. Drag them from first lead to live project, and they advance on their own when you send a document or take a deposit.

Client info collection

Stop chasing measurements and photos.

Every client gets a checklist of what you need. Mark each received or outstanding and a bar fills. What is missing surfaces on your dashboard and on their portal.

Phone-first

Password-protected

A private admin area behind your own login. Nothing public.

One-zip backup

Download everything, anytime. Move it, keep it, own it.

How it's made

Hand-coded to be owned, not rented.

No accounts to log into, no database to set up, no subscription that creeps up every year. Business OS is a handful of plain files that run on the hosting you already pay for, and it is yours to keep, move or hand to any developer down the track.

Nothing to install

It runs on the everyday shared hosting most businesses already have. No app to download, no database, no monthly login. Upload it once and it works.

Your data stays yours

Your customers, quotes and invoices live on your own server and sync between your phone and laptop. Nothing phones home to me. Back the lot up as one zip.

Re-skins for any trade

Pick an industry and your colours and every label, document and template re-words itself: bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, building and more.

Not vaporware

It runs this studio. And it's built for trades like yours.

Business OS is not a demo dressed up for a sales page. It is the actual back office behind zacwebsites.com.au, and I have re-skinned it end to end for a 32-year bathroom renovator, in their own branding. Because I run my own business on it, it gets fixed and improved for real. That is what the beta tag means: in daily use, still getting better.

  • Runs zacwebsites end to end: leads, quotes, invoices, finance and care plans
  • Re-skinned for Patrick James Bathrooms with their branding, packages and a locked client hub
  • Drag-and-drop deployment proven on standard cPanel hosting
  • You get the same engine I use, not a stripped-down copy
Case study

Patrick James Bathrooms

A 32-year bathroom renovator. I built their website and skinned Business OS to their trade: Bronze / Silver / Gold packages, their process and warranty, teal branding, and a private client hub they own.

Read the case study
In their words
“I run quotes and invoices from my phone on site now, instead of at the kitchen table at 9pm. My customers get a tidy page with their job, their documents and their photos, all in our colours. It makes a small business look properly sorted.”

Questions

Everything you're probably wondering.

Do I need to be technical to use it?

No. If you can fill in a form and click a button, you can run it. On the Studio plan I set it up for you. On Solo it is a drag-and-drop upload to your host with a short guide.

Where does my data live? Is it safe?

On your own hosting, in plain JSON files behind a password. Nothing is sent to me or any third party. You can back everything up by downloading one zip.

What if my trade isn't one you've built yet?

Tell me what you do and I'll re-skin it for your trade, so the labels, documents and templates speak your language. That's included in setup.

Do I have to host it with you?

No. It runs on any standard cPanel or shared host. If you already have a website anywhere, it drops in beside it as a private admin area.

Is it finished, or still changing?

It's finished enough that I run my own studio and a real trade client on it every day. I'm still adding to it, and on Solo your updates are free for 12 months. You keep the files you bought either way.

Can it work on my phone?

Yes. It's built to run on a phone, which is the whole reason it exists, so you can send an invoice or check a client from anywhere.

What if something breaks?

Genuine build faults are fixed free. Solo includes 12 months of updates. Studio adds priority support. After that, help is hourly or covered by a care plan.

Can I move it or cancel?

It's yours, so there's nothing to cancel. Move it to another host any time by copying the files. No lock-in.

Stop juggling apps. Start running your trade.

Tell me your trade and I'll show you Business OS re-skinned for you, free. Text is easiest, but call or email, whatever suits.

Like what you're looking at?

I hand-coded this whole page, and Business OS behind it. It is the same care I put into every client site: fast, modern, and yours to own outright. If you need a website that works this hard, that is what I do.
