Your business,
built to run itself.
Trellis designs and looks after the systems behind small businesses — the website out front and the automation, reporting and bookkeeping behind it — so the day-to-day stops depending on you.

What we do
Five services that work as one system.
Take the whole stack or start with the piece that hurts most. Each one solves a specific problem — and they are built to connect.
Website Design & Build
Your site is slow, dated, or a pain to update — and it is quietly costing you credibility and leads.
Fast, modern sites that look expensive and load instantly.
Learn moreMaintenance & Care
Things break, the site goes down at the worst moment, and small edits sit in a queue for weeks because nobody owns it.
Updates, backups, security and small changes — handled.
Learn moreAutomation
The same details get retyped between your website, inbox, CRM and accounting by hand — every single day.
Connect your tools and delete the busywork.
Learn moreReporting
You are guessing at what is working, because the numbers live in five tools and nobody has time to pull them together.
One clear dashboard instead of ten open tabs.
Learn moreBookkeeping
The books are always a month or two behind, and tax season turns into a frantic, expensive catch-up.
Books that stay closed, current and tax-ready.

Talk to usIs this you?
The businesses we help usually recognise at least one of these.
You are the bottleneck
Too much of the business only runs because you are the one doing it. Stepping away for a week is not an option.
Your tools do not talk
The website, CRM, calendar and accounting all live in separate worlds, and you are the bridge between them.
You have outgrown the DIY setup
What you stitched together at the start got you here, but now it slows everything down.
You are juggling too many vendors
A web person here, a bookkeeper there, an automation freelancer somewhere — and the gaps between them are yours to cover.
Why Trellis
A trellis does one job: it gives a growing thing something to climb.
That is the whole idea. We build the structure your business grows on, then keep it standing.
One team, not five vendors
Your site, automations, dashboards and books sit with people who talk to each other. Nothing falls in the gap between contractors.
Built in your accounts
Every tool is set up under your ownership. You are never locked in, and you always hold the keys.
Systems over one-offs
We fix the workflow, not just the task in front of us — so the same problem does not come back next month.
Plain language, always
No jargon walls. You get explanations you can act on and reports you can actually read.
How it works
Map, build, launch, run.
- 01
Map
We start with a working session to understand your business, the tools you use and where time leaks out of the week. You leave with a written plan — even if you never hire us.
- 02
Build
We design, build and connect in focused sprints with regular check-ins. You see progress every week, not a black box that emerges in three months.
- 03
Launch
We ship carefully — staged, tested and monitored — then walk your team through everything that changed and how to run it.
- 04
Run
Most clients move onto a care plan. We maintain the site, watch the automations, keep the books current and send the reports, so the system keeps working while you do.
Working together
Straight answers to the questions everyone has first.
Fixed fee or monthly retainer
A website build is a fixed project fee. Maintenance, automation, reporting and bookkeeping are monthly retainers, scaled to the size of your business.
A real quote before you commit
After one call you get a written proposal with actual numbers and a clear scope. Getting to that point costs nothing.
Month to month, no lock-in
Retainers run month to month. No multi-year contract, no cancellation penalty — the work keeps the relationship, not the paperwork.
You own everything
Every site, account and automation is built under your ownership. If you ever leave, you take all of it with a clean handover.

Questions
The ones we hear most.
How much does it cost?
It depends on scope. A website build is a fixed project fee; maintenance, automation, reporting and bookkeeping are monthly retainers scaled to your business. After a short call we send a written proposal with clear numbers and no obligation.
Do I have to use all five services?
No. Plenty of clients start with just a website, or just bookkeeping. The services are designed to work together, but each one stands on its own.
Who owns the website and accounts?
You do — always. Everything is built in your accounts, under your ownership. If we ever part ways, you keep all of it with a clean handover.
Is there a long contract?
No. Website builds are a fixed-scope project. Ongoing plans run month to month — you can pause or stop with 30 days notice, no penalty.
