I built LightDeck for my own lighting business. It replaced three paid subscriptions, cut my proposal time from 3 hours to 8 minutes, and pushed my close rate to 70%. Now I'm sharing it.

The problem
Most contractors improvise.
That's why they stay stuck.

I've been there. These are the three things that were killing my business before I built a system around it.

✕

Proposals Take Hours

You're writing custom quotes from scratch every time — bouncing between three paid tools, hunting for fixture photos at 9PM, while your competitor already followed up twice.

✕

Leads Go Cold

You sent the proposal. You meant to follow up. Life happened. That $12,000 job went to someone with an automated system. You lost it to a process problem, not a skill problem.

✕

No System, No Scale

Everything lives in your head. You can't hire, can't delegate, can't take a week off without the whole operation wobbling. You built a job — not a business.

How it works
Three steps to a proposal
your client approves.

No templates to rebuild. No spreadsheets to break. No screenshots to paste into an email.

1

Enter the job details

Client name, address, fixture count, your pricing. LightDeck already knows how lighting jobs are structured.

2

LightDeck builds your tiers

Good / Better / Best packages appear instantly — line items, totals, deposit math, optional add-ons. In 8 minutes.

3

Client approves the link

Send a clean proposal link. They pick their package and approve from their phone. You get notified the moment they do.

"A lead went quiet after I sent a full proposal — the kind that usually dies in the inbox. The automated Day 3 and Day 7 follow-ups fired while I was on another job site. The homeowner replied on Day 6, made a small revision, and signed. No extra hours chasing — the sequence did the work."

Built by a contractor
Not theory.
These run on real jobs.

I'm Zach Collins — U.S. Army veteran and owner of Evening Glow Lighting in Central Kentucky. I built LightDeck because I was burning hours on proposals and losing deals to competitors who just had better systems.

Everything in LightDeck runs on my actual Evening Glow jobs. The Good / Better / Best format, the follow-up sequences, the client approval flow — I built each piece because I needed it, tested it on real projects, and kept what worked.

This isn't a course. It's the operating system I wish I had on day one.

FAQ
Questions.
Does this work on my iPad in the field?
Yes — LightDeck is a web app built for iPad and mobile. Build and send proposals from anywhere, pull Street View photos right inside the app, and add it to your home screen for a full-screen experience.
What's in the 7-day Pro trial?
Full Pro access — AI proposal generation, deck builder, street view photos, client library, automated follow-up, everything. No card required. After 7 days you'll be prompted to subscribe to keep access.
What's the difference between Starter, Pro, and Agency?
Starter is the core proposal builder — great for solo contractors. Pro adds AI, the deck builder, street view integration, and automated follow-up sequences. Agency adds multiple team seats and shared resources for businesses with more than one person sending proposals.
Is this only for lighting contractors?
LightDeck was built for outdoor and landscape lighting. The Good / Better / Best proposal format works well for other home service trades too — but the fixture library, design flow, and defaults are built around lighting jobs.
Can clients approve from their phone?
Yes. The link you send opens a clean mobile page where clients see all three packages and approve with one tap. You get notified immediately.
What's the Done For You setup?
We handle the full LightDeck configuration — package templates, pricing structure, company branding, and settings — so you're ready to send proposals from day one without figuring it out yourself.
