Empowering David


Built to solve your problem. Not to inflate the price.

I learn about your business problem, write a fixed proposal, and you will not be charged until you accept the proposal.

About

I'm Ken, the founder of Empowering David, LLC. I help small businesses — the Davids — put modern technology to work where it removes redundancy, automates repetitive tasks, and saves time and money. Larger companies, the Goliaths, can buy the fancy equipment. David needed a sling and a stone. My goal is not to sell you a bronze helmet. It is to craft the sling and the stone that fit the fight.

Principles

  • What I can get from a client comes from what I can do for a client.
  • The work should accomplish the business goal. Nothing more.
  • Clients will know exactly what they are getting before spending.

Work

Automate workflows

Automation of an existing workflow that you can already describe in detail. No payment is due until a written proposal is accepted. A custom user manual is included. Fixed pricing and service contract options available.

Custom applications

A tool designed to solve an already-known business problem. No payment is due until a written proposal is accepted. A custom user manual is included. Fixed pricing and service contract options available.

New-flow consult

For a business that does not yet have a clear process to improve. I learn how the work actually gets done, then recommend a new flow built around an app or automation. You leave with a written recommendation, whether or not we build it.

Examples

Client intake and job status

A demo of the kind of app I build for a service business: the office manages jobs, the client gets email updates, and each client has a status page. Replaces a shared inbox and ‘just checking in’ calls.

Receipt to spreadsheet

A demo automation: a receipt emailed to a dedicated address is read and added to a Google Sheet. Useful for a shop that still retypes expenses.

These are working demos, not client case studies.
