Owner Self-Managed Package
You control more of the platform. You take greater responsibility for managing it. Get a 100% custom website and connected business-management system while maintaining more hands-on control over your platform environment.
This package is designed for business owners who want the same custom foundation but prefer to take a more active role in administration and ongoing platform management.
Custom
Your website and business system are designed around your business rather than forcing your business into a generic template.
Owner-Controlled
You take a more active role in administration, configuration, and ongoing management of your platform.
Support
Customers hosted on our servers receive phone support 7 days a week as part of the hosted service.
The Self-Managed Difference
Owner Self-Managed is for business owners who want greater control and independence and are comfortable taking more responsibility for the administration of their website and business platform.
Instead of relying on Platform Studio Designs to manage as much of the ongoing platform environment as possible, you take a more hands-on role in managing and administering your platform.

What You Get
Self-managed does not mean a stripped-down website. You still receive a professionally designed, 100% custom website and connected business-management foundation built around your business.
The difference is who takes greater responsibility for managing the platform after it is built.
A professionally designed website built specifically around your business, brand, customers, services, goals, and industry. Your website is custom-built rather than being a generic template.
Purpose-built forms and lead capture workflows designed to turn website visitors into actionable business opportunities that can be managed through your business system.
A centralized system for organizing leads, customers, contact information, activity, and important business records.
Connected workflows that can reduce repetitive administrative work and help move leads and customers through the process you establish for your business.
Scheduling can be connected to your broader customer workflow so appointments and service activity can work together with the rest of your business operations.
Create and send professional quotes, estimates, and proposals as part of your connected customer and business workflow.
Create and send invoices and statements while keeping customer and transaction information organized within the business system.
Create and manage purchase orders as part of your connected business-management workflow.
Keep payment activity connected to the customer and transaction workflow so the financial side of the relationship remains organized.
Connected Business Operations
Use the connected business system to organize the customer journey from the first inquiry through the final transaction.
Because this is a custom platform, the workflow can be designed around the way your business actually operates rather than requiring your business to adapt to a generic process.
Accounting & Business Documents
Your business-management system can support the documents and financial workflows used throughout the customer and transaction lifecycle.
Quotes
Estimates
Proposals
Invoices
Statements
Purchase Orders
Payments
Other supported business documents
Document Numbering
The default starting number for supported business documents is 1001. Businesses can choose a custom starting number of up to six digits to better fit an existing numbering system.
Industry-Specific Customization
A plumber, attorney, auto repair shop, accountant, and med spa can all need very different workflows. Your website and business system can be customized around the way your business actually operates.
Services, terminology, customer journeys, documents, lead processes, scheduling, and other operational requirements can be considered when the platform is designed.
Built for Accessibility
We are intentionally removing the traditional upfront-cost barrier that can keep startups, mom-and-pop businesses, solopreneurs, and other small businesses from getting a truly custom digital platform.
Platform Studio Designs offers in-house financing designed to make a custom website and connected business system more accessible without requiring a traditional credit check.
In-House Financing
Our financing approach is designed to reduce the barrier created by large upfront costs and make professional custom development accessible to more businesses.
The Goal
Custom technology should work for businesses of different sizes and stages.
Ongoing Support
While your website and platform are hosted on Platform Studio Designs servers, the package includes 7-day-a-week phone support. You maintain greater responsibility for the platform, while still having a support path when you need assistance.
7 Days
Support is available 7 days a week while hosted on our servers.
Owner-Controlled
You take a more active role in managing and administering your platform.
Connected
Your website and business operations are designed to work together.
Managed vs. Owner Self-Managed
Both packages are built around the same core philosophy: professionally designed, 100% custom websites connected to business-management capabilities.
Managed
Best for owners who want to focus on running their business while Platform Studio Designs handles the technical environment, infrastructure, maintenance, and platform management.
Owner Self-Managed
Best for owners who want more hands-on control and are prepared to take greater responsibility for administration and ongoing management of the platform.
