Small Business Website

Project Overview

Built a full website for a local service business that needed a professional online presence — something they could actually maintain themselves after launch, and that would show up in local search results.

The Challenge

The client was running their business entirely on social media and word-of-mouth. They had no website, no way for customers to book online, and zero search visibility. A competitor in the same area had a polished site and was picking up work they should have been getting.
