--- title: Tech Stack For Small Business, Set Up & Kept Running @ Varstatt url: https://varstatt.com/x/solopreneurs/tech-setup description: "Small business tech setup, one week at a time: every tool, login and cost mapped, urgent fixes done, the rest set up week by week. $997, one payment each." section: Services (https://varstatt.com) --- # Small Business Tech Stack Setup One week maps every tool, login and cost and fixes what's urgent; each next week sets up more. $997, one payment each. **What's included:** - ✅ Senior developer - ✅ Full code ownership - ✅ Done in one week - ✅ One price, paid once - ❌ Meetings overhead - ❌ Scope creep - ❌ Hourly billing - ❌ Billing surprises **Get started:** - [Start a Project](https://varstatt.com/start?cta=agent) - [Ask Jurij](mailto:jurij@varstatt.com) ## Problems - **Tools Picked One at a Time** Domain, email, site, booking and payments, each with a different company. - **A Client Finds the Break First** A vendor changes or a card expires, and booking emails stop arriving. [Read the case](https://varstatt.com/jurij/p/the-tiny-app-that-eliminated-a-shipping) - **The Freelancer Left With the Logins** Each fix starts with explaining the whole setup to someone new. - **A Bill for Every Tool** Each one adds a login, a renewal and one more thing to break. [Read the case](https://varstatt.com/jurij/p/how-we-built-a-zero-cost-cms-portfolio) ## Nobody Owns the Whole Setup | Route | What It Is | The Catch | |---|---|---| | Doing It Yourself | Evenings in settings pages | Time you'd rather spend on clients | | Tech Consultant | Advice on which tools to use | The setup is still yours | | Hourly Freelancer | Fixes one thing, then moves on | You explain the setup again each time | | Full-Time Tech Hire | A salary | Work comes in bursts, the salary doesn't | | **Varstatt** | Setup from one person, a week at a time | One job a week | ## Your Setup, One Task at a Time - [x] Map of every tool, login and cost - [ ] Email on your own domain - [ ] A booking page that takes payment - [ ] A newsletter signup that lands in one list - [ ] Every login in your own password manager Domains, accounts and keys are [yours from day one](https://varstatt.com/principles/philosophy/client-owns-everything). ## Small Setups That Last - **5 years** A shipping tool in daily use - **About $3** A month to run that tool - **$0** A month for hosting and content Read [the shipping tool](https://varstatt.com/jurij/p/the-tiny-app-that-eliminated-a-shipping) and [the zero-cost site](https://varstatt.com/jurij/p/how-we-built-a-zero-cost-cms-portfolio). ## Who It's For **Right For** - Selling through your own site, calendar and payment links - Setups that grew one tool at a time - Setups whose freelancer left with the logins - New businesses that want it set up right once **Better Elsewhere** - Laptops, printers, office networks, device repair *A local provider* - WordPress themes and plugins, a builder site kept as it is - A 24/7 help desk ## How It Works A simple, predictable and transparent process that eliminates development headaches. 1. **Book** — Pay for the week and you get a dedicated task board. Work starts the next working day. 2. **Setup** — You invite me to your accounts. I map every tool, login and cost, and fix what's urgent first. 3. **Plan & Develop** — The map becomes a plan: keep, connect, replace or cut. You approve it and set the order. 4. **Review & Refine** — You try each change in your real workflow. I revise until you're satisfied. 5. **Progress** — You approve finished work. Book another week for the next tasks. 6. **Maintain** — Something breaks later? Book a week; steady work can run by the week. ## Pricing — One-Time One price per week of setup; book the next only if you need it. - **Price:** $997 - **Note:** 1-week delivery - **Plan:** One person who sets up your tools and knows them next time. - **Includes:** - 🧑‍💻 10+ years shipping software - 🗣️ Direct access to developer - 🪪 Full code & assets ownership - **CTA:** [Get Started](https://varstatt.com/start?cta=agent) - **Questions:** jurij@varstatt.com ## FAQ ### What does tech support cost? $997 for a week of work, one payment, [never by the hour](/principles/philosophy/hours-wrong). One fix fits in one week. ### What tech stack do I need? One tool per job: a domain with email, a site, booking, payments, a client list and one place for automations. I [consolidate](/principles/philosophy/consolidation) before I add. ### What do you set up? Every tool in that stack, connected so a client is entered once. Zapier or Make flows you run, I fix or move; a builder or WordPress site I connect but don't maintain. ### Is AI replacing tech support? Partly: a chatbot can explain how to point a domain at a site. It won't trace why booking emails stopped, fix it, and still know your setup next month. ### What if something breaks? Book a week, and I [restore it first, then find why it broke](/principles/diligence/incident-response). ### Will I understand the setup? Yes. The map is written for you, and each change comes with its reason. [You decide](/principles/philosophy/client-decides). ### What if it doesn't work out? I revise until you're satisfied. Nothing renews, and the map and logins go to anyone you choose. ### How do I get started? Fill in the [project form](/start?cta=tech-setup-faq), about a minute: the tools you run and what broke last. I reply the next working day; if it fits, with a first plan and a call invite. ## Testimonials > "Jurij understand the core problem, insists on building the right experiences for the customers." > — [Kunal Modi, Founder @ SOAPNoteAI](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) > "Working with Jurij is an absolute joy, consistently exceeds expectations." > — [Janis Ozolins, Content Creator](https://x.com/OzolinsJanis/status/1875168034249146609) > "Consistently delivered quality code in great time, very hard working & precise." > — [Bartosz Poźniak, CEO @ MyCointainer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) > "The kind of engineer that every company on the planet would be lucky to have." > — [Hosam Mazawi, COO @ LemonUnit](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) ## [Solopreneurs × Varstatt](https://varstatt.com/x/solopreneurs) Tech Setup fits small businesses best: owners and small teams buying one tech job at a time. - **[Tool Integrations](https://varstatt.com/x/solopreneurs/tool-integrations)** "Each order typed by hand into three tools."
