Build, set up, and get found
$500
Everything above, plus the work that helps people find you when they search.
- Google Business Profile claimed, corrected, filled in
- Your business information made consistent everywhere it appears
- Built so search engines can read it properly
- Page titles written around the words your customers type
You own all of it.
The domain is registered in your name. The accounts are yours. The files are yours. Nothing is locked to me and you never need my permission to move it.
No monthly fee to me.
Hosting for a site this size is free on the service I use, and that is not an introductory rate. The domain renews once a year, usually $12 to $20, paid by you to the registrar.
Quoted before, never after.
More pages, a logo, photographs, a business email at your own name, or changes later. Any of it can be quoted, and the quote comes before the work.
For nonprofits and growing organizations
Systems for organizations that have outgrown spreadsheets.
Your records live in five places and your team works around all of them. The monthly report takes three days. One person knows how everything runs. That is where this work starts.
01
Salesforce builds
Every record in one system. Objects, flows, permissions, reporting, and a real migration, built in a sandbox first and documented before it is promoted.
Talk it through
02
Web apps and intake
The thing you need does not exist yet. Intake forms, portals, dashboards, and the small custom tools that sit between the systems you already pay for.
Describe it
03
Operations consulting
Something is slow, expensive, or wrong, and nobody can say why. Find where the time actually goes, redesign the workflow, build the fix, and train your people to run it without me.
Find the bottleneckWhy this works
We check the numbers before we trust them.
Every engagement starts the same way. Before anything gets built, we go and find out what is actually true.
One organization believed it had applied for roughly twenty grants over the years with little to show for it. Instead of taking that number on faith, we read its own records. The real count was fourteen genuine attempts in twenty-one months and zero awards. That is a different problem than the one they thought they had, and it changed what got built and how they opened their next board presentation.
The same habit, elsewhere, turned up a valuation figure that had gone stale and was still in use, and a status report that was quietly counting records it should have filtered out before anyone read it.
We are not smarter than the people who run these organizations. We just start by checking, and we do not stop at the first answer we are given.
The work
It holds up after I leave.
Clients are not named here, on purpose. Some of them serve people whose safety depends on it. Testimonials will appear here as clients give them.
IndianaA domestic violence shelter
- Case management built on Salesforce's nonprofit platform, taken from a standing start to a live system in one working day.
- Confidentiality built to the federal standard for domestic violence service providers, treated as the floor, not a section.
- An operating manual of more than a hundred procedures, so a staff with no developers runs the system themselves.
- Three months later they came back for a grant management area and a tailored assistant inside the same system.
IndianaA veterans and suicide-prevention nonprofit
- A website delivered before any contract existed, which earned a board presentation.
- Before recommending anything, we read the organization's own records: more than a thousand messages and hundreds of contacts.
- That is how the real grant history surfaced, and the correction opened the board presentation instead of being a footnote.
IndianaA recovery residence for men
- Taken from an idea to a filed federal tax-exemption application and a separate state incorporation, each correctly matched to its own federal identification number.
- Alongside the paperwork: a resident tracker, a policy and intake document set, and outreach lists to churches, treatment centers, and reentry organizations across the region.
$122,000
For scale. That is what Salesforce's own team quoted for a nonprofit case-management build like the first one above, over six months. Two different organizations were shown that figure as their outside comparison before either one hired Doorpost.
What Doorpost charged for either engagement is not stated here. It did not need to be for the comparison to be honest.
How it works
Four steps. No surprises.
Look
Twenty minutes on the phone. You describe the problem, I tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it. Plenty of times the answer is no.
Scope
A written plan with a fixed price before any work starts. If it changes, you hear it from me first, not on the invoice.
Build
Built in a sandbox, checked by machine and by a second reviewer who did not write it, then promoted. You see it working before it goes live.
Hand over
Every login, every document, every password is yours. I show your people how it runs, then I get out of the way.

About
One person, on purpose.
I am Daniel Stephens. I work out of North Webster, Indiana, and I take on work I can personally stand behind.
A doorpost is the upright that carries the weight of the frame. It is also where a plumb line gets checked, because the line does not care what you think is level. That is the whole idea behind the name. Do the work, then check it against something that cannot be argued with.
Every build here is verified before it ships, by a machine check and by a second set of eyes that did not write it. That is unusual for a shop this size, and it is the reason the work does not fall over six months later. It is also why I check my own numbers before I hand them to you. I have caught my own stale figures more than once, and I would rather tell you that than let you find it first.
You will not be handed to an account manager. You will not be sold a retainer you do not need. When the job is finished, you own all of it.

Before you book.
Is the 20 minutes really free?
Yes. You describe what is broken, I tell you what I would do about it and whether I am the right person for it. No pitch, no obligation, no charge.
Will I actually own the website?
All of it. The domain is registered in your name, the accounts are yours, and the files are yours. If you ever want to move it or hand it to somebody else, nothing is locked to me.
I already have a website. Can you fix it instead?
Usually, yes. If it has stopped working or stopped being true, the build and set up package covers replacing it. If it just needs changes, that gets quoted before any work starts.
Do you only work in Indiana?
I am based in North Webster and most of my clients are in Indiana, but the work itself is remote. Salesforce builds, web apps, and websites do not care where you are.
What is not included?
Ongoing changes after handover, online ordering, booking or scheduling systems, online payments, and anything not listed. Any of it can be quoted, and the quote comes before the work.
Come through
What do you need built?
Twenty minutes. You describe what is broken, I tell you what I would do about it. No pitch, no obligation, and no charge.
