Rebuild case study / Enquiries and quotes

In short
CatchDesk is an enquiry and quoting app for service businesses such as trades, cleaners, landscapers, pool and pest services and studios. Red Center Studio first built it on Bubble and rebuilt it as owned code on Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2, Email Sending and Cron Triggers, with optional Workers AI. It has 85 unit and route tests in the Workers runtime plus browser tests, is built to WCAG 2.2 AA, and is $99 USD, paid once, with a free Lite edition.
Before
What it was on Bubble.
CatchDesk was first built on Bubble by the studio. It has been rebuilt as owned code on Cloudflare and is sold as source code that a business runs in its own Cloudflare account, with no monthly fee per user.
Now
What CatchDesk does today.
A fast first reply
An automatic reply the moment someone asks: the business's own words, or a short reply written by Workers AI that never mentions prices.
Quotes accepted on a phone
A private link with good, better and best options, extras to tick, quantities the customer can change, tax and a deposit. The total updates as they choose.
Booking without phone tag
Up to three visit times offered, the customer picks one and gets a calendar file.
Leads and follow-ups
One inbox with a seven-step pipeline, search and CSV export, reminders that stop when the customer answers, and quote-opened tracking.
Quote drafts
Draft this quote for me fills a quote from the business's own prices. With Workers AI on, it also estimates hours and writes the summary, and a person checks it before it goes.

How it is built
The stack.
- Runtime
- Cloudflare Workers, with server-rendered pages, one small script and no framework in the browser. It works without JavaScript.
- Data and files
- Cloudflare D1 with Drizzle ORM, and private photo storage in Cloudflare R2.
- Sign-in and roles
- Better Auth, with Owner or admin and Staff roles, new sign-ups waiting for approval, and every permission checked on the server.
- Email, schedules and AI
- Cloudflare Email Sending, Cron Triggers for reminders, and optional Workers AI for replies and quote drafts.
- Texts
- Optional text messages through Twilio, with consent on the form and STOP handling. Everything also works by email.
- Security
- CSRF tokens and origin checks on every form, a strict Content Security Policy, unguessable quote links, a hidden spam trap and rate limits on sign-in and public forms.
Tests
85 unit and route tests run in the real Workers runtime, plus end-to-end browser tests of the whole journey. Every page passes automated axe accessibility checks at desktop and phone width.
For the owner
What changed for the owner.
- The app and its data live in the owner's own Cloudflare account, and the full source code is theirs to change.
- There is no monthly fee per user: CatchDesk is $99 USD, paid once, for one business.
- Wording, colours, emails, form questions and permissions each live in one place, and the customising guide says where.
- A free Lite edition is open source under the MIT licence, for businesses that want to start smaller.
Start free: CatchDesk Lite on GitHub. Enquiries with photos and quotes customers accept online, for small service businesses, on Cloudflare Workers. MIT licence.
Your app
Want your own app rebuilt as code you own?
The same move is a service: your app ported to your own Cloudflare account, with a fixed quote before work starts.
No-Code App Porting
Your app is built on Bubble® or a similar no-code platform and it has outgrown it, or you want to own the code. The studio ports it to your own Cloudflare account, or moves only the heavy parts and leaves the rest where it is. Every port starts with a paid assessment and a fixed quote.
- Price
- From $2,999 USD
- Timeline
- 6 to 12 weeks for a full port
App Rescue and Move to Cloudflare
Built an app with Lovable, Bolt, Emergent, v0 or Replit, or on Bubble? Start with an audit (or a triage for a Bubble app), rescue it where it is, or move it to Cloudflare as code you own. A lead machine only works when sign-in works, search engines can find the pages and the data is protected, so those come first.
- Price
- From $299 USD, in three steps
- Timeline
- Audit usually 3 to 5 business days; rescue and move timelines are set in your quote
Custom Platform and SaaS Builds
Web apps, SaaS products, client portals, marketplaces, booking systems and internal tools. Senior, agency-quality work, delivered faster and at lower cost than an agency, by the person who builds it.
- Price
- From $2,500 USD
- Timeline
- 4 to 12 weeks
