Still copying, checking and sending the same information by hand?
A routine task can waste time when you have to repeat the same steps every day. I review the process, check whether your tools can work together, and build a simple automation when it actually makes sense. Here’s what the starting price of $299 covers.
Start with one simple, repeatable business process.
The entry price applies to a bounded automation that uses compatible existing tools and has a clear trigger, known information and an outcome that can be tested. This service is not limited to WordPress or websites.
One repeated task. Predictable steps. A result you can check.
Clear starting event
Know what triggers it.
For example, a new inquiry arrives, a record needs updating or a routine condition needs checking. The exact trigger is agreed in the quote.
Compatible tools
Check before building.
The required services must permit the connection and provide suitable access. Paid accounts, usage fees or unsupported integrations are not assumed to be included.
Defined result
Know what success means.
The intended action, required information and basic handling of missing or invalid inputs are described before work begins.
The entry price is for a genuinely simple workflow—not unlimited automation.
One Simple Business Process
From $299
For an eligible, clearly defined workflow using compatible tools and a testable output. I review the process and confirm a written fixed scope and price before building it.
✓ Review the existing manual task
✓ Check the proposed tool connections and access
✓ Define the trigger, information and intended action
✓ Agree on basic checks and expected behavior
✓ Build the specified simple workflow
✓ Test the normal expected result
✓ Check agreed basic error or missing-data cases
✓ Explain known restrictions and running costs
✓ Document how to use or stop the workflow
✓ Hand over the configuration and agreed access
More complex workflows, extensive integrations, custom software, AI decision systems, ongoing monitoring and third-party service charges require separate scope and approval.
A working process you can understand and test.
Review the manual steps
Look at what you do now, which information is repeated and whether a simpler change would solve the problem.
Define the connection
Identify compatible tools, the event that starts the task, the information to use and the expected action.
Build the agreed flow
Configure the selected simple process in the agreed tools without adding unrelated steps or services.
Test and hand over
Check the normal outcome and agreed basic failure conditions, then document the workflow, its dependencies and how to stop or review it.
Simple automation isn't an unlimited software project.
Multiple or complex workflows
Several independent processes, branching business systems, complex data transformations, numerous integrations or extensive exception handling.
Custom software or AI systems
Building applications, advanced AI agents, model training, custom APIs and large-scale code or data projects that require broader investigation.
Subscriptions and infrastructure
Third-party software charges, paid API usage, server or hosting fees, new accounts and other running expenses. These are identified separately before approval.
Continuous operation guarantees
Ongoing monitoring, unlimited repairs, automatic future updates, guaranteed uptime or protection against services changing or failing.
The right answer might be a smaller fix.
A good workflow removes unnecessary repetition. But some tasks are better solved with clearer instructions, a better notification or a small adjustment to a tool you already use. I check that first.
Build only when the task is suitable and the result can be checked.
Small manual improvement
Keep it simple.
A clearer handoff, a built-in app setting or an existing notification may fix the issue without a new automation.
Simple automation
A repeatable rule.
When an event, inputs and required action are predictable, a modest workflow may suit the entry scope.
Larger system
Investigate before quoting.
If the task needs advanced integrations, AI judgments, sensitive processing or multiple business processes, it needs a separate review and written price.
Show me how you do the job now.
You don’t need to know automation software. I do need to understand the existing steps and which tools, accounts and information the process depends on.
What you provide
A description or example of the repeated task; sample input and desired output; the tools involved; suitable access to client-controlled accounts; and any important restrictions or approval requirements.
What I handle
Review the process and available connections, recommend the simplest suitable solution, define the work in writing, configure the agreed flow, test representative cases and explain the handoff.
From a repeated task to a tested result.
I define how the workflow should behave before connecting systems. Unexpected complexity is discussed before any added paid work.
Show the manual process
Send the steps you repeat, where the information comes from and what you want to happen automatically.
Check tools and define scope
I’ll review tool compatibility, account access, dependencies, important limits and the written fixed price.
Build the agreed process
I’ll configure the specified workflow and suitable checks without adding unapproved tools, actions or costs.
Test and hand over
I’ll run representative tests, explain what to watch for when a step fails, and provide the agreed configuration and usage notes.
A working first test is only the start.
The written scope defines the trigger, expected output and important conditions. A workflow is complete when the specified checks pass and the handoff is delivered—not merely because it ran once.
How I test the agreed flow
I compare its actual behavior against the approved requirements.
- Normal case: Representative input starts the correct action and produces the agreed result.
- Basic failures: Agreed missing-data, duplicate or connection-error situations receive the specified handling where supported.
- Handoff: You know where to find the workflow, review records and stop it if needed.
Defects and ongoing changes
The quote defines included corrections and any post-delivery support arrangements.
- If my work fails the original acceptance checks, I’ll correct it under the agreed completion terms.
- Future changes in outside services, new requirements or unrelated failures aren’t automatically included.
No integration can be guaranteed to run forever without attention. I’ll disclose known dependencies and limitations, and a sensible response if the workflow later stops working.
A defined workflow, a written fixed price.
The $299 entry price applies to an eligible simple business process with compatible tools. I confirm the exact actions, dependencies, testing, final price and payment terms before work begins.
No open-ended hourly bill. No hidden software charges.
Simple workflow
From $299 when eligible.
Small agreed projects may be paid upfront under written terms. An advance isn’t automatically earned if the agreed work hasn’t been delivered.
Cancellation and corrections
Fair terms for both sides.
You can cancel in writing. I’ll safely stop the work, account for agreed deliverables completed and refund unearned payments subject to approved nonrecoverable costs.
Added requirements
Approve before expansion.
More integrations, new outcomes, additional automation flows or ongoing monitoring are priced separately and require written approval before starting.
The automation should work for your business—not lock you in.
Your relevant business accounts and services stay under your control. I don’t require transferring website hosting to me, and the workflow doesn’t automatically create a maintenance contract.
✓ Client controls the connected service accounts
✓ Access is limited to the agreed task
✓ Third-party subscriptions and usage fees are disclosed separately
✓ The agreed configuration and handoff remain accessible to you
No forced subscription to PixelCrafted.
You can stop using the workflow, switch providers or hire someone else. I’ll explain practical dependencies and any restrictions imposed by the outside tools.
Questions about simple workflow automation from $299
Is this service only for WordPress websites?
No. I can work with compatible business tools, documents, records and other digital processes. A website is only involved when the chosen task actually requires one.
What qualifies for the $299 starting price?
One straightforward, repeatable business process with compatible tools, a clear trigger, identifiable steps and an output we can test. I confirm eligibility in the written scope.
Do I need to know which software to use?
No. Show me the task and the tools you already use. I’ll check whether a simple built-in option or suitable connection makes sense.
Does every workflow need artificial intelligence?
No. Many useful automations follow ordinary rules. AI is optional when it adds value, but it can also make errors and need human review.
What if a connection fails or information is missing?
The written scope identifies suitable basic checks and how you can notice or handle a failure. More elaborate recovery or permanent monitoring requires a separate agreement.
Will I have other software or API costs?
Possibly. Each third-party dependency, subscription or expected usage charge will be identified separately before you approve it. Those outside costs aren’t automatically included in the project price.
Can I stop or change the automation later?
Yes, subject to the connected tools and agreed setup. I’ll explain how to access and stop it. Later changes are quoted separately if they require new work.
Do I need maintenance, website hosting or a call?
No. There is no required ongoing PixelCrafted contract, hosting transfer or sales call. The work can be discussed and approved in writing.
Show me the process. I'll tell you whether automation makes sense.
Describe what you do manually, where the information starts, and what you wish would happen instead. I’ll check whether a simple workflow fits and explain any costs or limitations before building.
