I'm an Odoo developer and here are my advices because the main issue with Odoo implementations are excessive customizations with no boundaries

1. Stay with Odoo Community but define the scope

CRM standard functionnality, no custom development : use standard configurations only to reduce technical dependency

If something is really needed as customization, check the OCA repositories

https://github.com/OCA/crm

OCA is Odoo Community Association

2. For office integration

Regarding emails, you can use Odoo's native mail connector, that is enough

For Docs use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and link in the CRM records, it's better

For Spreadsheets, you can use again OCA repo https://github.com/OCA/spreadsheet

3. For implementation with partner or consultant

Start with a fixed price package with clear deliverables and time (installation, configuration, data migration, training)

Then a fixed monthly maintenance contract

Train 2 volunteer as admin so that they can handle all admin related tasks

4. For hosting,

you can use a VPS with some docker stuff and automatic backup

https://github.com/OCA/server-tools/tree/18.0/auto_backup

It's already online, then I consider it is launched Now, you can take your phone, check your contacts, and ask them to test it : maybe try it with some friends too Anyway, I think you have to communicate it

I remember i have found this site by doing some research on Google, regarding enterprise creation in DE

Really nice website !

Can you tell us how you got the idea, when you started, are you enterprise or solo ? How do you manage taxes ? Are you german ?

These were the questions i was asking myself when i discovered your site

I just tested it and i like it : i have 46 broken links, certainly due to the latest changes i made. I know i would have the broken links specifically in the blog part, but was procrastinating to check them. GOD JOB, I LIKE IT

Now, regarding the pricing, i really don't like subscriptions, we already deal with a lot of subscriptions every month, but it's up to you.

I would suggest also to give ability to pay once for checking the links. So, when i come back maybe in 6 months later, i will again pay one, and so on, etc...

I would also like to download the link in an HTML page and consult them or do whatever stuff i like, for example, scrapping my own HTML to find broken link and do some action in development server or robot testing, but downloading shouldn't be free to

But it's nice, keep going and find your perfect market
