Rebuilds
Before / After.
Hover any tile (or just scroll on your phone): the old site drifts by in gray, then fades into the rebuild doing the same scroll. Open one for the full story — what changed, in plain words, with an expandable technical flow for the curious.
These are the more interesting rebuilds — a sample of the shop's work, not a complete list.

Purple Pineapple Tech — a point-of-sale consultancy's brochure page rebuilt to run the first consult itself
A SoCal consultancy that sets up register systems for restaurants, bars and cafés had a one-page brochure site: good photos, a real since-2007 story, and nothing to do but read and email. Now the page does what they do on a first call — describe your operation in plain words and it specs the actual setup, with the reasoning attached.
- Describe your room → get a real rig spec
- 6 venue types, honest 'no match' when unsure
- Leads saved to a database, never a false 'sent'

Homeward Bound Veterans — a rented brochure became a platform that never forgets a veteran's appointment
A veteran-led nonprofit fighting veteran homelessness was running on a rented template — a 19-link menu, leftover demo-store pages, donate buttons that left the site, and no way for a veteran to do anything but call. Now every veteran has a private sign-in for documents and appointments, staff see one calendar across every client, and the system reminds each vet the day before an appointment on its own.

Hive₂O — two storefronts folded into one site with the alcohol rules built in
David's beverage brand ran two separate online stores — one for the 6% honey mead, one for the zero-proof line — each with its own monthly bill and no real way to handle alcohol shipping rules. Both brands now live on one site he owns outright: same cinematic look, age check and state-by-state shipping rules built in, zero platform fees.

Big Moose Hemp — rebuilt to survive the day 86% of its catalog becomes illegal
A federal ban lands November 12 and outlaws most of what this hemp brand sells, and their old page-builder store had no way to tell which products were on which side of the line. The store was rebuilt so every product carries its own legal status — the cutoff happens with one switch flip instead of a midnight scramble, and orders, customers, and marketing consent all came along for the ride.
- 86% of catalog auto-flagged before the ban

Ballair — a paper brochure turned into a website, an ops desk, and a federal bid assistant
An aviation group with three federal companies had nothing online but a 4×6 paper brochure a partner handed over. Three hours later that brochure was a live website with a working contact inbox — and the next phase added a private ops desk that watches federal bid listings for them every week and drafts proposal sections on demand, without ever inventing a capability or submitting anything on its own.

The old site was a brochure — a logo and some photos with nothing underneath: no way to sell wholesale, no compliance tracking, no connection to the sister brands.

Global Merchant Processing — a quiet security check that became a full rebuild
A friend's payment-processing company got a passive, look-don't-touch security review of their website — and it turned up problems serious enough that patching wasn't the honest answer. The customer-facing site is now being rebuilt from the ground up on a foundation the company controls, with the company's name held back until they sign off on going public.
