Projects
Case study: JunkGF — site build + online marketing
We built their web presence and run ongoing marketing so the brand shows up where buyers actually look—not just where it is easy to post.
Case study: Legacy Gutter Cleaning — 2026 rebuild after a 2020 plant
Their old site dated to 2020. We rebuilt for 2026: modern stack, clearer service story, and a serious focus on AI-assisted SEO, local search, and the rest of the alphabet soup that actually moves calls.
The Protocols
Client onboarding: research, mocks, then build
The first couple weeks are heavy on discovery—research, prototypes, and mockups—so the build phase is not guesswork.
Mobile app architecture
How we ship React Native and native handoffs for South Sound operators who need App Store–grade reliability.
Internal tools & dashboards
Custom dashboards, approvals, and field workflows that reduce email chains and spreadsheet risk.
Dead Internet defense
How we verify human intent in ad traffic and reduce spend on synthetic clicks and noisy programmatic signals.
Headless web & Core Web Vitals
Decoupled front ends, edge-friendly assets, and performance budgets that keep human pages fast on real devices.
CRM & API integrations
Connecting HubSpot, Salesforce, scheduling, and custom mobile surfaces without turning your stack into glue code forever.
UI/UX & cognitive load
Reducing friction and decision fatigue in interfaces—especially for staff workflows and high-stakes customer steps.
Data security & tech handoffs
Code ownership transfer, access hygiene, and training so your team can operate after launch without heroics.
South Sound TV & radio
Synchronizing broadcast and digital so reach and frequency reinforce the same story in the same week.
Vanity metrics vs ROI
Why we deprioritize CPM, raw reach, and engagement theater when they do not tie to owner-level outcomes.
Creative rotation & pacing
Preventing fatigue by rotating creative and adjusting spend when signal degrades—not on a calendar autopilot.
