Why We Built the GBD Package Builder, and Where It Goes Next

The GBD Package Builder exists because buying marketing should be simple, with clear choices and fixed prices.

Buying marketing should be simple. In reality, it usually involves emails, calls, long proposals and a price that changes along the way. We thought there had to be a better way. So we built one.

The problem we saw

Small businesses told us the same things again and again. First, owners wanted to know the cost up front. Next, they asked to pick only what they needed. Finally, many hoped to start without a huge payment.

Traditional proposals rarely do any of that. They take time, and they hide the detail.

What the Package Builder does

The GBD Package Builder lets you choose from hundreds of services, build a package, and see the total as you go. Here is how it works:

1. Pick the services you need.
2. Choose a Basic, Standard or Pro level.
3. See the fixed price, ex VAT.
4. Pay a 60% deposit to start.
5. Pay the balance on completion, or spread it over several months.

You can try it now on our Build your package page.

Built by us, for real work

The Package Builder is bespoke software, developed by GBD. Today we run our own business on it, and we improve it with every project. We are now getting it ready for other businesses to use too.

Where it goes next

We are preparing the Package Builder, and a few related tools we use ourselves, as WordPress plugins that other businesses can own and set up on their own WooCommerce site. Everything is customisable from the back end, from your colours and wording to your services, prices and payment plan, and we can set it up for you if you would rather not do it yourself. If you sell services and want a clear, fixed-price way to package and sell them, this could suit you. We will share more soon.

For now, read the full story on the Package Builder page.

Questions we hear

Can I change my package later? Yes, because each service has its own fixed price, you can add more as you grow. Can I start small? Of course, and that is the whole idea. If you only need one service, you pay for one service.

Why it matters to you

Because the tool is ours, we can keep it fair and simple. You see every price. You pick only what you need. And you can grow at your own pace.

If you would like to see it in action, start a package or contact us with questions.
