What does Mindbyte do?
Mindbyte designs and builds custom websites and web applications for UK businesses, then connects the workflows behind them, such as enquiries, bookings, payments and follow-up. See websites and applications and workflow automation for more detail.
How does a project start?
With a short paid audit. We map the current website or workflow, the people using it and the steps from first action to outcome. That gives a practical scope for design, content, development and integrations before the build begins.
How much does a website or automation project cost?
It depends on what needs to be designed, built and connected, so we do not list fixed prices. The audit defines the scope, so you can see what the work involves before development starts. Tell us about your project and we will suggest the right starting point.
Website design and web applications
Do you build websites from templates?
No. The design and code are shaped around your content, users and tasks. We can still connect established services where they solve a real need.
What is the difference between a website and a web application?
A website helps people understand your offer and get in touch. A web application, such as a customer portal, dashboard or internal tool, gives customers or staff a place to view information and complete tasks. Many projects need both.
Can you connect our website to our CRM, booking or payment system?
Yes, where those tools provide a suitable integration. The audit identifies what needs to move between forms, your CRM, bookings, payments and reporting.
Will my website rank on Google or appear in AI answers?
We build crawlable pages with clear, useful information, descriptive titles and relevant structured data. Search engines decide what to index and show, so no agency can honestly guarantee rankings or AI citations.
Workflow automation and AI
Which business processes can be automated?
Common examples include enquiry handling, bookings and reminders, quoting, follow-up and reporting. Fixed rules handle repeatable steps, and AI can help with triage, summaries and draft replies.
Do we need to replace our CRM?
Not necessarily. We first look at how your current CRM and other tools can connect. The right approach depends on the integrations they support and the gaps in your process.
Does AI make decisions or send messages on its own?
We use AI for bounded tasks such as drafts, summaries and triage support. A person reviews work that needs judgement and approves consequential actions.
What happens if an automation fails?
Testing includes failure states. An activity log shows what ran and what needs attention, so a missed connection does not go unnoticed.
After launch
Do you offer website hosting, security and maintenance?
Yes. We provide hosting and website security and maintenance plans for the site and connected systems. The terms for each are published on our terms and policies page.
Will you show our team how to use what you build?
Yes. Testing and training are part of how we work, and we support your team after launch.
Show us where the friction is.
Tell us about the site, or the process that's slowing you down. We'll reply and figure out the right starting point together.
