Hosted Lights

Christmas light estimates

Show the house lit before you hang a single bulb.

Hosted Lights turns a photo of the customer’s home into an estimate they can see, pick options on and accept from their phone. Then it keeps the texts, the schedule and the reviews in the same place.

Built by a cleaning company that hangs lights every winter. Free for the lights season.

What the customer sees

How it works

Four screens, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Draw the lights on their photo

    Snap the front of the house, trace the roofline, the peaks and the gutters, and name each run. Options like the garage or a wreath are one tap for the customer.

    They see it, pick, and accept

    The estimate opens on their phone with the lit picture, the choices and the price. Accept is one button; what they pass on stays on the page for later.

    Every text in one trail

    Their texts, your texts, the estimate sent, opened and accepted: one thread per customer, from the business's own number.

    Build the install days

    Accepted jobs land on a board with a map. Drag them onto a crew's day, and the drive between stops is already on it.

What’s in it

The front office, for the lights season.

No new CRM to learn. The estimate, the texts, the board and the reviews are the same screens a cleaning company runs on all year.

  • Photos of the front and the back of the house, the lights drawn on each
  • Good-better-best options the customer picks from
  • Sent by text or e-mail from your own number and name
  • Opened, accepted and declined, each with a time on it
  • Leads from your website, with the photos they attach
  • Reviews asked for after the install, with your Google link
