The problem it solves

You find out your site is down from an angry customer or a lost sale, not from a system that's watching for you. By the time you notice, you've already lost visitors and maybe revenue.

Who it fits

Any small business that runs its own website or online store and can't afford silent downtime.

How it works

  1. A timer checks your website on a set schedule, like every five minutes
  2. It looks at how the site responds
  3. If the site fails to load properly, it flags the outage
  4. A message is posted to your Slack channel right away
What you get

Outages caught before customers notice them

You get an instant Slack alert the moment your website stops responding, so outages are caught right away.

What you get

An instant Slack message telling you your website is down so you can act before customers notice.

What you need

A Slack workspace and the domain you want monitored.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
