02 / THE EVERYDAY COST

“It only takes
a few minutes.”

Until you multiply it by every customer, every employee, every week.

20 minutes a day.
7+ hours a month.

An illustration based on 22 working days.
What could your team do with that time?

01

The same information.
Entered three times.

Could it be entered once and go where it needs to?

02

Six messages.
Just to make a booking.

Could customers take the next step themselves?

03

Another inquiry.
Nobody free to reply.

Could routine questions get help while your team handles the exceptions?

03 / A SENSIBLE PLACE TO START

Before you build anything,
know what’s worth fixing.

A focused review of one frustrating workflow.
A practical plan you can actually use.

  • Clear next steps and estimated costs Practical options that respect your budget, plus one follow-up to explain the plan.
  • 100% project credit Put the full fee toward a project of ₱30,000+ agreed within 60 days of your plan.

DorellWorks ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

YOUR NEXT STEPS

A clearer path
from inquiry to booking.

01 / FIX NOW

Make the next step obvious.

Put service details and a booking link in one place. Start with the tools you already use.

02 / CONSIDER NEXT

Take the repetition out of reminders.

Once booking details are consistent, explore automatic confirmations and reminders.

03 / LEAVE ALONE

A custom mobile app.

Not needed to solve this workflow. Keep the budget focused on the actual friction.

A short, useful plan. Yours to keep.

Example format, not a client result. Your plan includes recommendations and cost estimates specific to your workflow.

A useful recommendation. Or your money back.

If we can’t identify a practical improvement within the budget and constraints agreed before we start, we’ll refund your Tech Check fee.

04 / YOU’RE WORKING WITH DORELL

A decade of building.
Put to work for
your business.

I’m Dorell James, a Cebu-based product engineer, former CTO, and community builder. I’ve spent more than 10 years building software and helping teams make technology decisions.

Now I’m bringing that experience directly to local businesses. Sometimes you need custom software. Sometimes an existing tool does the job. My job is to help you make that call—and get the right thing working.

More about Dorell

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before we talk.

Do I need to know what software I want?

No. Bring a process that frustrates you and show us how it works today. We’ll figure out whether technology can help. Sometimes the best answer is a simpler process or a tool that already exists.

What happens after I reach out?

Dorell reviews your message and confirms whether a Tech Check fits your problem. We agree on one workflow, your budget and constraints, and a delivery date before you pay. Your initial inquiry is free; the working session and written recommendations are the paid Tech Check.

What does the Tech Check cover?

One workflow, one 60–90 minute working session, a short prioritized written plan, and one follow-up to explain it. Implementation, detailed technical specifications, and a review of your entire business are separate engagements.

How much will implementation cost?

It depends on the problem and the approach. DorellWorks implementation projects start at ₱30,000. If your budget is smaller, we can look at existing tools or a simpler change during the Tech Check. Hosting, subscriptions, and API usage are quoted separately.

How do the credit and guarantee work?

The full ₱7,500 fee is credited once toward a DorellWorks implementation project of at least ₱30,000 agreed within 60 days of receiving your plan. If the review identifies no practical improvement within the budget and constraints we agreed before starting, we refund the Tech Check fee. You don’t have to hire us to implement the plan.

Can you help after a project launches?

Yes. We define the launch support period in your proposal. Ongoing care and improvements can be scoped separately, with clear response expectations and limits. New features are quoted as new work.
