Projects

Business solutions, not just websites.

Every project starts with a business problem. Here's how I've helped real businesses connect what their customers see with the work happening behind the scenes.

Construction / ElectricalBarstow & the High Desert

Hard Wire Construction

Visit the site

The need

Hard Wire was rebranding from an electrical contractor into a full construction company, and the move meant a new domain — hwconstruction.net — in place of the established electricianbarstowca.com. They needed a site that could carry years of search visibility across to a new brand, while also consolidating service information, project galleries, reviews, FAQs, financing details, and estimate requests that had been spread across separate channels.

What I built

Built a mobile-first marketing and business platform for an electrical and remodeling contractor serving Barstow and the High Desert. Service information, project galleries, customer reviews, FAQs, financing details, and a seven-step estimate request now live in one branded experience. The estimate form gathers project details, location, timing, contact preferences, and optional photos, while attribution information connects incoming leads to their marketing source. Behind it sits Hard Wire HQ, a private admin area for managing leads, website content, FAQs, pricing, estimates, scheduling, and SEO redirects. Public service and location pages are structured around individual URL slugs with their own page metadata and canonical URLs to support search visibility. To bridge the old site, a Cloudflare bulk-redirect file maps legacy URLs to their new counterparts using permanent 301 redirects — including both www and non-www versions of the homepage, About, Contact, FAQ, galleries, blogs, service pages, and location pages, with query strings preserved. A URL normalizer inside the new site also strips trailing slashes, so legacy-style paths such as /about/ resolve to the new /about route. An admin URL Migration Map tracks old-to-new pairs and their status, with the Cloudflare file holding the actual rules.

What changed

One branded experience from first visit through estimate request, with leads arriving with the project details, timing, and photos needed to quote accurately, and a private HQ where the team updates content, pricing, and FAQs without a developer. The legacy domain's key URLs are mapped to the new site with 301 redirects, configured to carry established pages and their query strings across the rebrand. The redirect rules are documented as configured mappings in the migration setup.

What I learned

A rebrand doesn't have to cost you your search history, but the migration has to be designed as part of the build rather than patched on after launch. Map every legacy URL deliberately, and keep the path from visitor to estimate short enough to finish on a phone.

Next up

Verifying each deployed redirect in production and monitoring for soft 404s, routing new leads automatically by service area, and triggering review requests once a project is marked complete.

Custom Apparel / Print Shop

Print N' Play Plus

Visit the site

The need

Quote requests arrived through phone calls, email, Facebook Messenger, text messages, and social DMs — five channels with no shared record. The owner pieced each job together from scattered messages before quoting it, and artwork, quantities, and deadlines lived on whoever's phone had them. Growing past the owner's own working hours wasn't possible without a single place for the team to work from.

What I built

Built a mobile-friendly website and customer portal that replaced all of it with one process: instead of calling, emailing, or messaging, clients submit a quote request on the site with project details, quantities, deadlines, and artwork uploads. Behind it, a project-management portal handles quotes, project progress, proof and quote approvals, customer messages, photo uploads, manual payment tracking, and file organization linked to the owner's Google Drive — so projects can be picked up anywhere, anytime, by the team. The public site carries services, past work, community projects, FAQs, and shop offerings in a warm, Western-inspired maker aesthetic with bold typography and photography.

What changed

One process from first inquiry to delivered order. Quote requests now arrive complete, with artwork and details attached to a record the team can act on instead of a missed call or buried DM. Clients follow their project, approve proofs and quotes, message the shop, upload photos, and track payments without asking for an update, and shared Google Drive organization means the work keeps moving when the owner is off the phone — and can be handed to a team member without a briefing.

What I learned

Every extra channel a customer can reach you through is another inbox to keep up with. Putting the request into one structured process gave the customer fewer steps and the shop a complete brief — and the same portal that collects the request is what runs the job.

Next up

Automated pricing for common product and quantity combinations, proof approvals that move a job into production status, repeat-order shortcuts for returning clients, and a public shop tied into the same project records.

Nonprofit / CommunityBarstow

Barstow Senior Center

Visit the site

The need

The center ran on an antiquated Homestead website where routine updates depended on whoever knew the system, and it didn't hold up on a phone. The community needed to find upcoming events, daily lunch menus, programs, news, and local resources in one place, and many visitors needed larger type, clear contrast, and controls they could tap without precision.

What I built

Replaced it with a mobile-friendly platform that brings the public website and the staff tools together in one place. Visitors find upcoming events, daily lunch menus, programs, news, and local resources, while staff update that information through a single, organized management area covering events, meals, news, programs, sponsors, resources, documents, and site settings, with plain-language navigation and clear actions. A Smart Upload workflow is designed to turn flyers and other documents into structured content that staff review before it goes anywhere, rather than requiring them to retype everything. Events carry dates and times, registration details, locations, contact information, flyers, and recurring schedules, with sensible center-wide defaults filling in whatever an event leaves out. A traffic dashboard gives administrators a visual view of which pages visitors are using, and new account sign-ups can trigger an email alert to the website manager.

What changed

One connected website and management system that makes information easier for the community to find and routine content updates easier for staff to handle. Reading is comfortable on any screen, controls are touch-friendly, and the team maintains the whole site from one area without needing a developer.

What I learned

Accessibility is a design requirement, not a feature added at the end — and an AI-assisted upload only saves time when staff stay in control. The workflow prepares the content; the review step decides what gets published.

Next up

Keeping the event and menu content current through the year, expanding the accessible patterns across every page, and continuing to simplify routine updates for staff.
