Local businesses
Shops, trades and services whose customers look them up before they call. If your site is out of date, hard to find or not there at all, that is where we start.
I build websites, and the systems behind the counter that save you time. I manage a tailor shop and wrote the software that runs it, so I build around the way your business already works.
What people see when they look you up.
Clean, fast sites that show up when people search for you.
Fix, refresh or modernize the site you already have.
Hours, photos and reviews, set up right.
Your own web address and business email, set up and kept running.
One person to call for the website, the listings and whatever else stops working. A monthly retainer keeps me on hand, and bigger projects are quoted on their own.
The paper, the phone calls and the things you keep track of in your head can be handled by software built for your shop. I build it, set it up on the devices you already have, and train your staff.
Replaces paper tickets and promises tracked from memory
Replaces the daily "is my order done?" calls
Replaces phone tag and a paper calendar
Replaces digging through old slips to find what a regular had done
Replaces calling the back room or the other location to find a job
Replaces guessing how busy the week was and what is overdue
Shops, trades and services whose customers look them up before they call. If your site is out of date, hard to find or not there at all, that is where we start.
Photographers, makers and artists who need their work seen. A portfolio that loads fast, looks like you and makes it easy to get in touch.
The same four steps as a good alteration.
A free 20-minute look at your site and at how a job moves through your day, from drop-off to pickup. In plain English.
I build a first version around what your customers actually need to find: hours, services, prices, how to reach you.
You try it on. We go through it together and I adjust until it sits right.
The site goes live. I stay available for changes, so you are never stuck with something you cannot update.
Tickets for alterations, dry cleaning and custom clothing, taken on a tablet at the counter instead of on paper.
Custom PHP & MySQLA customer-facing site where people check hours and book an appointment without phoning the shop.
WebsiteA place for family and friends to leave messages, with a custom guestbook and an admin panel behind it.
WordPress, custom backendOngoing care for a painting contractor's site and everything technical around it.
RetainerNo pressure, no jargon. Tell me where the time goes and I'll tell you what could be automated.
