Tech Stack Cost Check

Most local businesses pay for eight to twelve things that touch the website, and nobody has added them up. Miles Media built a free check that totals the cost and shows where tools overlap.

1. Built a four-step form: business type, what the site runs on, tools they pay for, and charges that take a percentage.
2. Seeded the checklist from a catalog of about ninety tools, with each tool's usual billing model and common trap.
3. Marked every cost it fills in as an estimate, so owners can type their real bill over it.
4. The report totals monthly and yearly cost, flags tools doing the same job, rates how dependable the stack is and ranks three moves.
5. Kept everything in the browser, so nothing is saved unless the owner chooses to send a copy to Miles Media.
6. Checked the math against a hand-worked restaurant example until the totals matched to the cent.
