So we’re starting a general contractor company and i I’m wondering if anyone else did that and had general advice? Its with someone else that is not really technology savy.

Currently we’re using:

  • WordPress for website
  • OpenProject for project related task
  • InvoiceNinja for invoice purposes

Any advice and comments would be appreciated!

    Well said, and the ‘oops shit’s dead’ is also in the making. We have the chance to be close to a school so electricity + internet is never down. The time to move to a VPS/other location is minimal, with encrypted backup on multiple locations. Open to suggestions to improve the setup.

      Well, a fault isn’t just an outage.

      You said the other person involved isn’t technical: what if say, a database corrupts itself and you’re on vacation for a week.

      Is the expectation that you’ll always be available all the time to fix technical problems?

      And, as a failure state: what happens if you simply cannot be reached for that week no matter what. What’s the failover plan for the rest of the people involved in the business?
