We get asked a lot of questions. Here are some of the more common questions we are asked to help you decide if Smart Ordering is the right solution for your business…
We find most of our clients invest about 60-90 minutes of their time for initial launch. We will guide you through the process.
Sure! You can view our client showcase here.
Almost all the work is done by us. We have an easy step by step guide that will help you get on board. We also go through some questionnaires to formulate go-to-market strategy and what will work best for your market. We do this together.
Yes, we will be glad to migrate your business to new site. We can do an assessment of what's necessary and wanted, and take it forward. We will assess your scope and provide an adequate response.

YES! All of our customers receive free, lifetime support. And we make really easy to submit a support ticket. All you have to do is email us at support@smartlybuilt.com and one of our team members will get it taken care of for you within 1-3 business days.
Once you sign up with us, you are assigned to a Lead Developer based out of our Brooklyn office. You are also sent a questionnaire to help us understand your likes, needs and wants.
Your Lead Developer will work with you through the process in selecting a framework and answering the questionnaire. Once a framework is selected, we will begin building. In about a week we’ll have a first draft ready for you to review, at which point we’ll schedule a screen share where we will review colors and format and make changes on the fly until you are 1,000% happy with your entire site.
At that point we’ll make a final revision of edits, and then begin taking you live. All in all, the entire process takes 3-4 weeks.
