Technology that transforms organizations
We believe in the power of visual development, also known as no-code / low-code technology. These tools help us focus on designing the best experience and process instead of coding.
Some of our favourite tools include Airtable, Softr, Glide, Notion, Make and Zapier.
Over the years, we saw organizations bogged down by inefficient processes and technology. That's why we are evolving Cue North to a technology consultancy and product studio that enables digital transformations.
The Cue North Process
Our process is built on years of experience and expertise delivering hundreds of successful projects. Designed to be streamlined and speedy, our flexible approach means your digital transformation solution is ready to go in just a few weeks. Here’s how we make it happen.
1. Setting the stage for success
A good plan lays the way for success, so every project kicks off with a comprehensive planning and discovery stage. The goal? Get to know your business, identify the problems that need solutions, and put together a tailored action plan for getting from A to Z, efficiently and effectively.
2. Coming up with concept + design
With a solid strategy in place, we get to work building purpose-driven products that will enhance your workflow. A combination of user stories and industry best practices help your project come to life and ensure it delivers real value to your business.
3. Getting it perfect
Now comes the fun part: testing and refining. Together, we’ll work through a series of iterations, shaping and perfecting as we go to ensure a seamless user experience that minimizes cognitive load and maximizes efficiency.
4. Wrapping it up + handing it off
With your products ready to implement, we hand off your final digital transformation solution using the tools (Airtable, Notion, Softr, Glide, Zapier and/or others) that make the most sense for your team. You’ll also receive detailed documentation about your new process and tools so you’re confident about managing it on your own.
Developing our digital adoption plan was really helpful, as it confirmed and kickstarted a lot of the technology investments I was already thinking about but hadn’t yet made. After a year, I can say things are going really well. Our customers love being able to book appointments and order their products online. I’m also spending less time on admin work for our business, allowing me to spend more time with my patients. Thank you Lorraine and Tanzi for everything. It was a pleasure to work with you.

"It was great to see the fruits of all our meetings and labour summarized so clearly in our digital adoption plan. You provided a comprehensive look at our business, and provided insight to where we should focus on to improve our business through technology. Thank you again for all your support and expertise through this process."
Working with Cue North helped us get a good snapshot of what we need to prioritize and improve upon in order to succeed in the digital world. It was a great experience - easy, effective.
“I really appreciated you took the time to understand our business and its culture, and then tailored your recommendations to align with / support our existing culture and operations. It was a pleasure working with Lorraine and team. The process was efficient, we always knew what would be expected of us, and the discussions were valuable. We're looking forward to implementing the recommendations over the coming year."
"After this experience of developing my digital adoption plan, I now better understand how and where technology can positively impact my business and help me reach my business goals. The team at Cue North was great to work with and I’d highly recommend them as digital advisors."
"It has been a pleasure working with Lorraine. Her methodical approach to problem-solving has helped us in executing some of the most complex and abstract projects. She is very good at defining high-level tasks, timelines and executing things with clinical precision."
"Lorraine helped our B2B SaaS startup develop a whole range of tools and process needed to become an efficient customer-focused company. She was instrumental in preparing our financial model and business plan, both of which were very well received by our investors. I would highly recommend Lorraine to any fast moving startup founders, especially technical founders needing support on the business side."
"Lorraine was terrific to work with. She brought a different perspective to our organization and helped us conduct a significant piece of work. Her skills at conducting interviews with key stakeholders, and compiling and analyzing an extensive amount of information was exceptional. Our Board was impressed with the thorough analysis she completed and the succinct reporting on it."
Frequently asked questions
We offer the full spectrum of tools that can take businesses to the next level: websites, apps (both web and mobile), dashboards, platforms, and more. We also specialize in no-code and low-code automation tools that free up your workday by automating time-intensive tasks like form creation and data collection.
A no-code or low-code approach is exactly what it sounds like: a way of designing digital products that doesn’t require technical expertise in coding. Low-code is a visual approach to software development that enables faster delivery of applications. Many agencies today, like us, focus on no- and low-code tools because they’re faster, simpler, and more cost-effective to implement. They’re also a key part of the movement to democratize data and tech, putting cutting-edge tools within reach of everyone, not just developers. For example, if you're non-technical, you can create and design powerful custom databases to drive your key workflows. Learn more in this blog post.
No-code is a win-win. Our no- and low-code products perform just like those built manually by developers. The only thing you “lose” is the hassle and expense of a longer timeline and a bigger budget. By having us build your digital products with no and low-code tools, you won't need to hire expensive developers. You'll also be able to accelerate your project deadline and launch quicker. Another big bonus is that you can work directly with the final product, handling maintenance and minor updates yourself, regardless ofyour level of technical knowledge.
No-code is for everyone, not just small or medium-sized businesses. Rapid development saves them time, money and stress. These are important benefits for everyone, from solopreneurs to enterprise-level organizations.
Absolutely! Beautiful, user-centric design is key to building a great product, so we put care and effort into designing digital solutions that look as great as they work.
A full rundown of our work process is available here. But, in a nutshell, we get to know you and your business needs and put together a plan for reaching them. Once we’re all on the same page in terms of job scope and budget, we get to work executing the vision.
Timelines vary according to the needs of each project, but in general, we make things happen much faster than you might expect, getting from discovery to handoff in a matter of weeks.
Since no two projects are quite the same, we determine project pricing case by case. We use a fixed-rate pricing model, which means that you know the exact amount to budget for upfront. In certain cases, there may be ongoing subscription fees for tools and services (e.g. Airtable) that you will sign up for directly. We will identify and recommend these upfront so you can evaluate the options and choose the ones that work best for you.
