your event runs on a spreadsheet. it shouldn’t.
we design and build one tool around exactly how your team works. your screens, your words, your colours: run-of-show, vendors, crew, rental gear. ready in about a week, on your own accounts, yours to keep.
anyone can generate screens now.
the hard part is knowing which screens should exist, and making them easy for a tired crew at 6am. that’s what you’re paying for.
we listen first
a call with your team to map how the day actually runs, and where it falls apart. the tool gets designed around that, not around a template.
we design every screen in figma
every screen, on desktop and phone, built from one set of components and colours. your team comments right on the design, before anything gets built.
you click through it before we build
a clickable version your team can tap around on their own phones. we change what feels off while it’s still cheap to change.
then we build it, exactly as approved
what you clicked through is what you get. then we test it with your real events and your real people before handover.
sound familiar?
the run-of-show is a google doc
with six versions, and nobody’s sure which one is current.
crew gets scheduled by group text
so you find out who’s missing when the doors open.
vendors live in someone’s inbox
and when that person is out, nobody knows what was promised.
gear gets counted by eye
until the same tent shows up on two bookings for the same weekend.
what we build
run-of-show + vendor tracker
one live schedule for the day, with every vendor and speaker, what they need and whether they’ve confirmed.
crew schedule board
who’s working which shift, who said yes, and who still needs a nudge. your crew checks it on their phones.
rental stock + booking calendar
what’s out, what’s back and what’s free next weekend, so the same gear never gets booked twice.
sponsor + deliverables checklist
every promise made to every sponsor, who owns it and whether it happened, before they ask.
we’ve built this kind of thing before.
the service is new. the work isn’t. admin screens, live event tools and dashboards for real teams, designed and shipped.
bild live trivia
a booth game for bild media’s trade-show stand: players on an ipad, a live leaderboard, and an admin where the team manages every question.

the room plays along
built for a dc startup & tech week workshop: everyone plays on their phone and the whole room’s answers land live on the big screen.
try it, 2 minutes
yard
the back office for home dealers: one dashboard for every community, home and pending submission, so nobody rebuilds it from scratch.

morningstar live view
the control screen for morningstar’s solar charge controllers: a wall of data turned into one clear answer at a glance.

brady co-founded pub & paint, a painting-event company that ran across dc and baltimore for six years. later he ran paint.social, with ticketing, equipment rental and wholesale supply for the industry.
before that he worked event setup and teardown. so he’s been the producer, the venue partner and the person carrying tables at 6am. we build the tool from what actually goes wrong on the day.
already built a version yourself? good. bring it.
if you’ve had a go with lovable, bolt, cursor or a spreadsheet full of formulas, you’ve done the hardest part: you know exactly what it should do. we take it from “works on my laptop” to a real tool your team can rely on. same price, same week.
- a great demo, but not something you’d hand your team
- works on your laptop, mostly
- one shared login, or none at all
- nobody has checked who can see the data
- change one thing and something else breaks
- looks like every other quick build
- a real tool your whole team uses every day
- works in every browser and on every phone
- everyone gets their own login
- locked down and tested before handover
- built so changes are quick: most take under an hour
- designed around your brand, not a template
how it works
one call
you walk us through the spreadsheet and the day it all went wrong. then we write down exactly what your tool will do.
about a week
we design every screen, you click through it and tell us what’s off, then we build and test it with your real events.
yours to keep
it runs on your own accounts, not ours, and we set them up with you. your team gets a short walkthrough video. brady reviews everything before it reaches you.
your data stays yours.
your events run on real names, phone numbers and contracts. we treat that seriously, and every tool goes through the same security checklist before it reaches you. you get the checked list at handover.
card details never touch us
you pay through stripe’s secure checkout. we never see or store a card number.
it lives on your accounts
the hosting, database and domain are set up in your name from day one. we keep no copy of your data.
locked down by default
everyone on your team gets their own login. no shared passwords, and nobody outside your team can read anything.
tested before handover
we try to get at your data signed out, and signed in as someone else. both have to fail before you get the keys.
encrypted and backed up
https everywhere, data encrypted by the hosting provider, automatic backups switched on, and we test a restore.
we step out when we’re done
at handover we remove our own access and show you it’s gone. happy to sign your nda before you share anything.
the menu. every price, up front.
no quotes, no “it depends”. the tool has one price. when your business grows, every add-on has its price on it too, so you always know what a change costs before you ask.
before you buy
what happens after i pay?
you book a kickoff call straight from the thank-you page. on the call you show us how your events run today, and we send back exactly what the tool will do, in writing, by the next business day.
what if it’s not a fit?
if the kickoff call shows a tool won’t really help, we say so and refund you in full. no work starts until you’ve agreed the written scope.
what counts as one tool?
one job done well, like a run-of-show tracker or a crew schedule. extra screens, alerts or connections are add-ons on the menu, each with its price.
do i need to know anything about websites?
no. your part is two sign-ups and one invite, about 15 minutes, and we can do it together on the kickoff call. running it usually costs about $25 a month, paid straight to the providers. see the whole setup, step by step.
i already built something. can you use it?
yes, and it helps. we treat it as the best sketch we could ask for: keep what works, redesign what doesn’t, and rebuild it properly on your accounts. same fixed price.
who owns the tool and the data?
you do. it’s built on your accounts, in your name, and you can take it anywhere. we keep no copy.
will you sign an nda?
yes. send yours, or we’ll send ours, before you share your spreadsheet or any customer details.
what don’t you build?
ticketing, payments, or anything holding medical or legal records. your tool sits next to eventbrite or your booking system and doesn’t replace them.
bring the spreadsheet. we’ll take it from there.
three founding spots at $1,500. not sure yet? book 20 minutes and we’ll tell you honestly whether a tool would help.
