Groundwork · by Lost Pines Creative

The systems that run your business — wired together and handled.

Website, payments, booking, accounting, and AI — connected into one system you own and I run for you. I'm the systems-and-integration person, not an ad agency: I wire your tools together and add the AI so the business runs itself.

For local small businesses · Bastrop & Central Texas

What you actually get

Not "AI" or "software" — a business that runs itself, and that you own.

Your tools finally talk

No more re-typing the same thing into five apps. Booking, payments, and your books move as one connected system.

Never miss a lead

An AI receptionist answers, qualifies, and books — and every missed call gets an instant text back, even while you're busy.

Get paid faster

Invoice on the spot, take card or ACH, collect deposits before the work starts. Money in days, not weeks.

Get found & look legit

A real website and a dialed-in Google profile, plus a steady stream of 5-star reviews, requested automatically.

Get your evenings back

The busywork — follow-ups, reminders, paperwork — runs on autopilot instead of you at 9pm.

One person to call

When something breaks or you want something added, you have an actual engineer on the other end — not a ticket queue.

What I connect & run

Pick what you need. I select the right tools, wire them together, add the AI layer, and keep it all running — in your accounts.

How it works

Start free, build the system once, then keep it running and improving.

Step 1 · Free

Digital audit

A short conversation and a written map of the tools you're running, where the gaps are, and exactly what I'd connect or fix first. Yours to keep, no obligation.

Step 2 · One-time

Setup

I build and connect what you picked — website, payments, booking, AI, and the wiring between them — configured, tested, and handed over working. Your accounts, your ownership.

Step 3 · Monthly

Care plan

Then I run it: hosting, updates, monitoring, support, and monthly improvements — plus a simple report so you see exactly what it's doing for you.

I built this for my own businesses first

This isn't theory. The same connected systems I'd build for you already run my own shops.

Blue Plumeria

A handcrafted-jewelry brand taken from nothing to a live online store — catalog, product photography, and payments, open for orders.

DeSmit Designs

A design & fabrication shop given a real web presence and a work gallery — from a single Facebook link to a site that brings in projects.

Questions

Do I need to be "techy" for this?

No. That's the whole point — you run your business, I run the tech. Everything is set up for you and explained in plain language.

Are you a marketing or ad agency?

No. I don't run ads or chase leads — I'm a systems-and-integration engineer. I build the system that handles your leads: the website, booking, payments, AI, and the wiring between them. If you need ads too, I'll happily point you to someone who does that.

Do I own my accounts and data?

Yes, always. Your website, payment account, domain, and data are yours. I set them up in your name and manage them; you're never locked in.

What's the free digital audit?

A short conversation and a written rundown of the tools you're running, where the gaps are, and exactly what I'd connect or fix first — no obligation, and it's yours to keep.

Is the AI going to sound like a robot to my customers?

No. The AI receptionist is set up to sound like your business, capture the details, and hand real leads to you. It catches the calls you'd otherwise miss, and I keep it tuned.

What if I don't want AI, or don't have it?

No problem — AI is optional. The heart of what I do is connecting your tools so they talk to each other, which doesn't need AI at all. I can build your whole system integration-only, and add the AI receptionist later if you ever decide you want it.

What does it really cost?

You can start small — a Starter setup is $750 — then a one-time build plus a monthly care plan as you grow. The free audit gives you a firm number for your specific situation before you commit to anything.

Let's find what's slowing you down.
