Get your good ideas built, without overloading your team

The redesign, the launch, the process everyone knows could be better. We bring the brain and the brawn to take it from "we should" to done, so you and your team stay on the work only you can do.

Every business has a few half-built bridges

The idea that never launched. The system that works, sort of, if nobody looks too closely. The new website, or the stack of work that lands after a business redesign.

None of it is a mystery. You know something needs to change. What's missing varies: sometimes time, sometimes skills, sometimes both, and sometimes you'd just rather not build it in house.

So you put it off. Or your team rushes it, and it's not quite right. Or you push other work down the list to make room.

That isn't a willpower problem. It's too much to do, and not enough time or resources to do it all well.

"We know our business best, so we should handle it ourselves"

You do know your business best. That's exactly why you should be steering, not doing every step.

Bringing someone in can feel like more work than doing it yourself. You might wonder whether anyone outside could really understand your business and your clients. One client asked us, more than once, whether they needed someone trained in their specialty.

What you need is a team that learns your business fast and brings the skills you don't have in house. You bring the knowing. We bring the building.

I've had more ideas than hands, too

I'm Christina Hooper, and I founded Sparkitive. For years I was the founder with more plan than hands. I couldn't hand off my own projects, until I took on business partners.

I'm autistic and ADHD, diagnosed in my late 30s. Seeing the whole pattern comes easily to me. After over 18 years in business, my own companies run on the same advice I'd give you: stop trying to do it all yourself!

From idea to done, in four steps

  1. Scope. We'll talk with you and work together to find out whether your project is a good fit for our services or not.

  2. Plan. Before you commit to anything, you see what it costs, how long it takes, and how we'll work together: what your team handles, what ours takes on, and where we decide together.

  3. Run. We bring the experience, the strategic thinking, and the brawn, and we work on it with you. We check in on the decisions and steps that need you.

  4. Wrap up or keep going. We finish it, hand it back to your team, or keep running it, whichever you choose, up front or along the way.

Hand off as much as you like. Stay in where it counts.

  • You choose how much of the work comes to us. Where your knowledge of the business matters, we work it out with you.

  • It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Often it's a hybrid: your team handles some parts, and ours takes over others.

  • You choose how involved you want to be. We scale the brain and brawn to what the project needs.

What we build is yours. Your accounts come with your own logins, and we keep no rights to the work.

You choose how it ends: we finish it, hand it back, or keep running it

Decide up front, or along the way as the work takes shape. Either way, you make the call on purpose, so a short-term arrangement never turns permanent by accident, and an ongoing one never stops by accident.

  • We finish it.

    We take the project to completion.

  • We run it until you're ready to take it back.

    We build a new process and run it until you want to bring it in-house. When you take it back, we hand it over with processes in place. One client handed us a department that needed handling now, so we could build the processes while they built out other services. They plan to take that area back when it's ready and our team will train theirs on the new processes we developed for them.

  • We keep running it.

    If you never want it back in-house, we keep it going.

Is Sparkitive the right fit?

Sparkitive is mainly for service businesses, such as coaching practices and agencies.

You're in the right place if:

  • You have an idea, a redesign, or an overdue improvement that needs to get built
  • You want a team that brings the brain and the brawn, so you can hand off most of the work
  • You'd like to work it out together, with your team on some parts and ours on others
  • You want to own everything that gets built

We're probably not the right fit if:

People who've learned from Christina say she gets right to the good stuff

Yes! Christina, you're my new favorite expert. I have learned so much from you just in the short time that I've been working with you, and I've been just absolutely thrilled with everything that we've done together, and I hope to continue working with you in the future.

Kristin Cales

I really love the way that Christina teaches her information. She is a no-fluff type of teacher. She gets right to the juicy stuff, so really enjoyed the trainings. Got a lot out of them and was able to implement 'em immediately. Thanks a lot, Christina.

Thirty minutes with Christina, and a next step for your project

Bring the idea, even if it only lives in your head so far. The call is free, there's no pitch, and there's nothing to commit to. We'll talk it through with you, and if we're not the right team for it, we'll tell you who is.

What it costs, how long it takes, and what you own

How much does it cost?

It depends on the project, and we'll give you a quote. One-time projects, like rebuilding how your team builds client websites, can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $15,000. Ongoing processes or departments we run for you can be $3,000 to $10,000 a month. We put your quote in your proposal, and it carries into your plan, because we build every plan for one project or ongoing process.

How long does it take?

Most one-time projects take 6 to 12 weeks. Ongoing work usually starts with a 3-month commitment. We put your exact timelines in your proposal, and your plan shows when we check in and what we deliver along the way. If you want us to keep running the work, it doesn't have to end at all.

Do I have to take the work back at the end?

No. We finish some projects. We run others until you're ready to bring them in-house. Some we keep running for as long as you want. You can choose up front or decide along the way.

Can you just build my website or write my content?

On its own, no. Just need a website or blog content, and nothing else? FableForge and its Tech Team handle that.

Yes, as part of a bigger, defined project or process we plan and run for you. That can include websites, content, systems, the back end, and the front end. We don't sell them the way a marketing agency would.

Sometimes we run a whole department for you, for a while or for good. That's one way we work, not the only one.

Is this only for neurodivergent entrepreneurs?

No. It's for anyone with an idea or improvement that needs to get built, diagnosed or not. You don't need a label to book a call.

Do I own the work?

Yes. Your logins and accounts are your own, set up in your name. Your domains are yours. Where the work runs on a platform, you have your own account there, and you can take it with you. We treat the work we do for you as work for hire, so we keep no rights to the designs. We don't hold anybody's work hostage.

Finish the bridge, and get back to your own work

If you leave it, it's one more half-built bridge. Hand it to us, and we'll build it right, without overloading you or your team.
