Dragline DataCustom websites, plugins and apps

A website management app made for your business.

Every Dragline Data website comes with a private app for running it. Change words and photos, update hours and services, and see new leads in one place, without touching code or waiting on a developer.

Built around your business, not a template dashboard.

Big website platforms give every customer the same crowded dashboard. Your app shows only the pages, photos, services and tools your business actually uses.

Example layout. Each app is built around the business that uses it, so yours will show your own pages, services and tools.

What you can do from the app.

The everyday changes that used to mean an email to a web developer and a week of waiting.

Edit pages

Change headlines, paragraphs and buttons on your pages and see them live right away.

Swap photos

Upload new job photos and put them on the right service page or gallery.

Update hours and services

Holiday hours, a new service, a price change. Update it once and it shows where it should.

See every lead

Form messages land in one list you can sort, so nothing gets lost in an inbox.

Edit how you show in Google

Change a page's title and description, the text people see in search results.

Run your plugins

Lists, prices, offers and settings for your custom plugins all live in the same app.

Every app fits the business that uses it.

A few examples of how the same idea looks different from one business to the next.

Painting contractor

Add before-and-after photos, update service areas and turn a seasonal discount on or off.

Marine construction

Post new seawall and dock jobs to the right gallery and answer quote requests.

Plant nursery

Mark plants in stock or sold out so customers see this week's list.

Executive suites

Show which offices are open and manage tour and booking requests.

Why not just use WordPress?

WordPress can work well, and we support it for clients who already use it. But a WordPress dashboard is built for millions of different websites. It comes with menus you will never touch, plugins that each need updates, and settings that can break a page if you click the wrong thing.

A management app made for your site does less, on purpose. That makes it easier to use and harder to break. Already on WordPress? We can help with that too.

Do I have to use the app?

No. Some owners like to make changes themselves and some would rather hand it off. If you would rather call or email changes in, ongoing help plans often start around $150 a month.

Is it hard to learn?

It only shows the tools your business uses, so there is far less to learn than a WordPress dashboard. We walk you through it at launch.

Is the app included with my website?

Yes. Every new Dragline Data website is built with its own management app, and its cost is part of the one written price you approve before work starts.

Can my staff use it too?

Tell us who needs access and what they should be able to change, and we will build the app around that.
