01

The challenge

Store locators are usually either a plugin that looks bolted on or an enterprise tool priced for chains. Small brands with a dozen stockists had no option that matched their own branding, and every tool in the category marks up the map provider's usage.

02

Our approach

We built the widget to load in under 90 KB and render inside a shadow root so it cannot fight the host page's CSS, then made every visual token configurable so it inherits the customer's own colours, type and corner style. Customers connect their own Google Maps or Mapbox key, so map usage reaches them at cost rather than through us.

03

The result

A live product with paying customers, running on the same stack we would build yours on. It is the honest reference for what we mean by a software build: not a prototype, but something with accounts, subscriptions, uptime and real users.

Client build

Bright Solutions Electrical Services

A licensed electrician's full website with real photos, real Google reviews, and a local-SEO structure built to rank across the Houston area.

01

The challenge

Bright Solutions needed a site that looked as trustworthy as their work, ranked across a wide Houston service area, and could be updated without a developer, all while avoiding the thin-page SEO traps that get local sites penalized.

02

Our approach

We processed real photos from the owner's own phone, wrote plain-language service and area content, and built full unique pages for the highest-value cities with a schema-marked list for the rest. Every page ran through an automated mobile-overflow and accessibility pass before launch.

03

The result

A fast, AA-accessible site that is live today and measurably climbing. Three months after launch, Search Console shows 4,380 impressions with the trend accelerating month over month, and average position improving from unranked toward page one on the queries that matter. Numbers read directly from the client's Search Console on September 4, 2026; a young domain earns rank in months, and this one is on schedule. Structured data helps search engines and AI systems understand its services and coverage, and the owner keeps it current in a business day.

Built For Every Trade

Concept designs, one per industry

Illustrative designs, not client sites, so you can see how your own site could look. Each is styled in that trade’s own brand color, on our fast, accessible, mobile-tested foundation.

Example electricians website design

Electricians

Panel upgrades, generators & EV chargers

Why this design: Emergency-call urgency stays front and center: phone number pinned in the header, one CTA above the fold.

Example plumbers website design

Plumbers

24/7 emergency & water heaters

Why this design: 24/7 availability called out before any other copy, built for people searching mid-emergency.

Example hvac website design

HVAC

AC repair, install & maintenance plans

Why this design: Seasonal hero built to swap, so the homepage always leads with whatever's selling: AC in July, furnace in January.

Example roofers website design

Roofers

Storm damage & free inspections

Why this design: Storm-damage and insurance language kept prominent, since most roof leads start with a claim, not a browse.

Example landscapers website design

Landscapers

Design, install & lawn care

Why this design: Photo-led, copy-light layout, since landscaping sells on the after-photo more than the pitch.

Example remodelers website design

Remodelers

Kitchens, baths & additions

Why this design: A slower, process-driven layout, matching a purchase that takes weeks of research, not minutes.

Example auto repair website design

Auto Repair

Diagnostics, brakes & AC service

Why this design: Trust signals (diagnostics shown, straight pricing) placed above the services list, for drivers wary of being oversold.

Example cleaning website design

Cleaning

Recurring home & office cleaning

Why this design: Framed around recurring plans, not one-off quotes, since retention is the actual business model.

Example pool service website design

Pool Service

Weekly cleaning, chemical balance & repairs

Why this design: Weekly service and one-time repair kept visually separate, they're different buyers with different urgency.

Example deck & fence website design

Deck & Fence

Custom decks, fences & warranty work

Why this design: Gallery-first layout, since a homeowner comparing builders decides on finished work, not page copy.

Example pressure washing website design

Pressure Washing

Driveways, siding & before/after results

Why this design: Built around the before/after moment and a two-tap booking path, since this is an impulse-book service.

Example general handyman website design

General Handyman

Small jobs, repairs & quick turnarounds

Why this design: Organized by job type with a quick "describe your job" form, since most visitors are comparing a few handymen at once and won't wait for phone tag.

Example movers website design

Movers

Local & long-distance moves, packing

Why this design: Insurance and review trust signals placed above the fold, since handing your belongings to strangers is the single biggest hesitation in this business.

Example junk removal website design

Junk Removal

Same-day pickup & upfront pricing

Why this design: Built around same-day booking, since most searches are same-day and a slow contact form loses the job to whoever answers first.
