# smb-online — "Get Your Small Business Online"

A productized service that gets local small businesses online: **landing page + online booking +
online reception + small automations**. Built to be **thoroughly tracked and logged** — every
client, lead, booking and invoice lives in a Google Sheets CRM, driven by **n8n** on the homelab.

> Full plan: `~/.claude/plans/pitch-me-some-ideas-breezy-swing.md`

## Two delivery tiers

| | **Tier A — Google stack** | **Tier B — Self-hosted / privacy** |
|---|---|---|
| For | casual businesses, no data-residency concern | privacy-sensitive (health, legal, tax) |
| Site | static page / Google Sites | static page (Astro) on free host |
| Booking | Google Calendar Appointment Schedule | self-hosted Cal.com |
| Lead capture | Google Forms | self-hosted form → n8n |
| Reception | Gmail | self-hosted + AI receptionist |
| Infra cost | ≈ €0 | small (homelab + domain) |

Both tiers feed the **same Google Sheets CRM** via n8n webhooks.

## Repository layout

```
templates/landing/        Reusable landing-page template + the two tier demos
  demo-tier-a/            Tier A demo — "Schnittpunkt" barbershop (Google stack)
  demo-tier-b/            Tier B demo — "PhysioVital" physio practice (self-hosted/privacy)
sheets/SCHEMA.md          Google Sheets CRM workbook spec (tabs + columns)
n8n/                      Exported n8n workflow JSON (lead-intake, booking-sync, renewals, …)
stacks/selfhosted/        docker-compose for Tier-B services (Cal.com, Vaultwarden, lead form)
playbooks/                Per-client setup checklists (tier-a-google.md, tier-b-selfhosted.md)
```

## View the demos

They are self-contained HTML — open directly:

```bash
xdg-open templates/landing/demo-tier-a/index.html   # barbershop / Google stack
xdg-open templates/landing/demo-tier-b/index.html   # physio practice / self-hosted
```

Or serve both with a chooser page:

```bash
python3 -m http.server 8080 --directory templates/landing
# → http://localhost:8080/   (links to both demos)
```

Forms and booking are **stubbed** until Phase 4 wires them to the n8n webhooks.

## ⚠️ Before going live (legal — not legal advice)

Operator is in an Ausbildung as Cloud Engineer at NETWAYS. This offering deliberately **stays out
of NETWAYS's lane** (no managed cloud hosting / monitoring / OpenStack/K8s hosting for clients).
Before taking paying clients: (1) check the Ausbildungsvertrag for a `Nebentätigkeit` clause and
get **written employer approval** if required; (2) `Gewerbeanmeldung` + Kleinunternehmerregelung
(§19 UStG) once revenue starts; (3) confirm with the IHK / a Steuerberater if unsure.
