Hi guys, I'm currently streamlining my tech and marketing infrastructure across my two core brands (mariogiglio and strategos). My goal is to completely replace GoHighLevel (GHL) by switching to a modern, decoupled, and MCP-native stack that I can build and orchestrate directly via AI coding agents (Claude Code / Cursor), while moving 100% to annual billing to eliminate recurring monthly friction and reduce software overhead by roughly $1,800/year. Here is the exact architectural blueprint I'm implementing: 1. Frontend & CMS: Framer (Pro Annual per site) - Delivers superior UI/UX, top-tier page speed performance (Core Web Vitals), full design flexibility, and dynamic CMS for landing pages, resources, and articles. - Email Delivery & Audience CRM: Beehiiv (Scale Annual) - Native multi-publication setup allowing me to manage two separate brands/lists (Mario and Strategos) with isolated sending domains, automations, and audience tagging under a single account. - Checkout & Upsells: GoCushy - MCP-native checkout layer handling digital products, courses, order bumps, and 1-click upsell/downsell funnels, connected to Stripe/PayPal. - Integration & Data Routing Layer: Cloudflare Workers (Serverless) - Lightweight worker receiving GoCushy webhooks upon successful checkout \rightarrow routes events to Beehiiv API (tagging customers & triggering onboarding workflows) and sends real-time Purchase events to Meta Conversions API (CAPI). The Question Regarding CRM & Lead Tracking: Since I don't run a high-volume cold-calling sales team, an enterprise CRM isn't strictly necessary. However, I still want a clean pipeline to track lead stages, identify high-intent prospects, and separate active customers from non-buyers. I’m currently deciding between: - Option 1 (Custom Headless): Building a lightweight custom pipeline using Supabase + Next.js, integrated directly with Claude Code via the Supabase MCP Server (allowing me to query, segment, and update leads in natural language). - Option 2 (Open Source / Low-Cost Tool): Deploying a self-hosted or modern lightweight CRM like Twenty CRM or Attio. -
