Working demos

Not screenshots. Click them.

Every one of these runs in your browser right now. They are built for shops I invented, so nothing on this page pretends to be a client. Each one fixes a problem the audit kept finding, for the two kinds of business I saw most: places that serve food, and people who drive to your house.

Turn JavaScript off and all four still read correctly. Plenty of sites go blank the moment one script fails to load. These do not.

01

A menu they can search

What it fixesA busy coffee house with no menu anywhere online, and a takeout page you have to zoom three times to read on a phone.

Why it mattersHungry people do not scroll. They pick the place that answers "do you have wraps" in one tap, and it takes about a second to lose them.

Hours that answer the question

What it fixesOld hours sitting on a Google listing, and a phone number saved as a picture, so tapping it does nothing at all.

Why it mattersNobody wants to read a grid and do the arithmetic. They want to know if you are open right now, and they want the call button to work.

Hollow Run Dairy Bar

This week's hours are listed below.

Demo number, it will not ring. On a real site the same button dials the shop.

Convinced already? Book the free audit. The other two demos will still be here.

03

A ballpark at ten at night

What it fixesNo way to order, book, or even ask a question after hours. People do most of this deciding late at night, and it goes to whoever has a working button.

Why it mattersA rough number is enough to get a call in the morning. No number at all sends them to the next name on the list.

Stone Creek Lawn & Landscape

What will it run me?

$40 to $50 for the visit

Mowing and trim, up to a quarter acre, one time

A ballpark, not a quote. The real number comes in writing once somebody has looked at the property.

04

Do you come out this far

What it fixesTrades with no site at all, so the only way to learn whether they cover your road is to leave a voicemail and wait.

Why it mattersEvery unanswered "do you serve my town" is a job quoted by somebody else. The answer costs nothing to publish.

Redpoint Gutter Works

Do you come out to me?

Type a town or a five digit ZIP, or read the list below.

That shop is invented for the demo, and so is its coverage map. I am based in Westmoreland County, PA and work remotely anywhere in the US.

The honest part

These are pieces, not a portfolio.

A working demo beats a screenshot, but it still isn't a launched client site. I have not shipped one yet. When I do, it goes on the homepage with the owner's name on it.
