Stop building random automations. Start building impact.

BoostFrame builds automation that removes the day-to-day work that drains owner time — invoice reminders, lead intake, scheduling, follow-up sequences, expense tracking, social posting. The Quick-Win Map identifies the 3 to 5 automations worth building first, ranked by impact and effort. Most engagements start with a 1- to 2-week audit, then move into a scoped build phase that ships working automation in 4 to 8 weeks.

A typical Zapier consultant connects two tools and walks away. BoostFrame designs the underlying system — what’s the source of truth, what happens when things fail, what’s the audit trail, what’s the off-ramp when you outgrow the no-code stack. The work uses Zapier, Make, n8n, and Airtable where they’re the right tool, and real code where they’re not. The output is an automation system you can operate and extend, not a fragile set of zaps that breaks the first time a tool changes its API.

The sweet spot is 1 to 25 employees — small enough that the owner is still wearing five hats, large enough that a few hours back per week meaningfully changes the operation. BoostFrame also takes contract engineering work for funded AI SaaS startups; that side of the business lives at startups.boostframe.io.

It’s a 1- to 2-week audit that produces three things: a ranked list of automation opportunities tied to your actual business goals, an impact-vs-effort matrix for each one, and a recommendation on what to build first. The deliverable is a written report plus a 60-minute walkthrough. You walk away with the map even if you don’t engage for the build phase.

The Quick-Win Map audit is $2,500 to $4,000 fixed, depending on scope. Build engagements are hourly with a hard cap per phase ($100 to $150 per hour, capped per project so you always know the ceiling). For ongoing work, BoostFrame offers a fractional-CTO-style retainer for businesses that want senior depth on the bench without a full-time hire. Specific pricing is set after the audit.

Yes. BoostFrame is based in Oaklyn, NJ and most clients are in the NJ / Philadelphia metro, but the work is remote-first. Most engagements happen entirely over Slack, email, and recorded video walkthroughs. On-site visits are available within driving distance of Camden County for clients who want them.

Yes, and it’s a common engagement. Most no-code migrations underestimate the state machine that the platform was implicitly managing — what each record’s status means, what triggers what, what happens to records that fall through the cracks. The migration plan accounts for that explicitly. The output is maintainable TypeScript (or whatever the right language is for the job) that survives load and the next API change.

That’s the typical client. BoostFrame’s job is to translate the technical decisions down to the level where the founder, the operator, and the developer can hold the same conversation. You won’t be expected to write code or design schemas. You will be expected to know what your business actually needs to accomplish — which is the part nobody else can tell us.

The Quick-Win Map audit takes 1 to 2 weeks. Build phases run 4 to 8 weeks each, depending on scope. Most clients do one or two build phases over a 3-month period, then move to a lighter retainer for ongoing tuning. The discovery call is 15 minutes and free — most clients book it before deciding whether the audit is right for them.

For SMB engagements: Airtable as the source of truth, Cal.com for scheduling, Twilio or Resend for messaging, Stripe for billing, Make or n8n for orchestration, OpenAI or Claude for AI-powered tasks. The stack is picked for what each business actually needs to operate — not what’s fashionable. When real code is the right tool (multi-tenant security, complex billing, regulated data), BoostFrame writes TypeScript on Supabase or Postgres.
