Liminal North Studio — by referral

The business and the system underneath it, built together.

Brand, pricing strategy, a client-facing app, and the operations that run it — designed as one coherent system, not bolted on after the fact. Shipped and handed off. Not a platform you rent forever.

FIRST LOOK No charge. You see a working prototype before you spend anything.
HOW IT'S PRICED By the job, phased. Half up front, half on handoff — no surprise invoices.
BUILD TO SHIP, NOT SUBSCRIBE No monthly fee. What I build costs nothing to run after handoff — and it looks like your business, not a vendor's.
TYPICAL RANGE Complete builds run $8,000–$15,000+. Brand, pricing strategy, and the full system — scoped to a real number after the free prototype.

What a complete build actually looks like

JOB NO. 021 Unlisted Services — Household Management & Interiors, Ontario

A private household management and interiors service, operating by personal introduction only. Every new client still arrived the way a referral always does — but from there, pricing was worked out by hand, every single time, recalculated from scratch for every inquiry.

The work went beyond intake. Pricing structure, service tiers, and brand positioning got rebuilt alongside the system, then I built the client-facing tools that run underneath all of it. A referral now becomes a priced, structured, trackable request in the time it takes to fill out a form.

What changed: the owner stopped being the thing holding the business together by memory. The stuff that used to slip — a follow-up that never went out, a price quoted two different ways — stopped happening. The system runs entirely on Google Workspace. It costs nothing per month to operate.

Built on Google Workspace Brand & pricing strategy Client-facing app + ops dashboard $0/month to run
"I'd been running a referral-only service for years, but it still ran like one from the inside — priced on the spot, held together by memory. This didn't just build the intake system, it helped redefine the whole model: how it's priced, how it's positioned, how a request actually moves once it comes in. Now my clients feel the professionalism before I've even walked through their front door."

What I build with you

SVC — 01 Brand & positioning. Name, voice, and visual identity — built to work with how you're priced, not bolted on as a separate project afterward.
SVC — 02 Pricing & quoting systems. The logic that turns your services into a real, defensible number — calculated automatically instead of worked out by hand every time.
SVC — 03 Client-facing app. The thing your clients actually touch — intake, quotes, booking, whatever fits how referrals reach you.
SVC — 04 Internal operations dashboard. Where you run the business day to day — job tracking, scheduling, documentation, completion workflows.
SVC — 05 Free discovery & prototype. You see a real, working prototype before anything gets built or billed — same policy as everywhere else I work.
SVC — 06 Documentation & handoff. A system you can run, maintain, and eventually hand to someone else — without needing me.

A note on scope creep: I don't charge for it. Big shops issue change orders every time a requirement evolves — I build that into my pricing from the start. A more complete solution isn't scope creep. A completely different problem is a new job.
