What each business had before, what I built or changed, and what happened next.


Where it started
Corina is a Master Tailor who specialises in bridal alterations. She had the skills and happy clients, but her only online presence was a Facebook page she started in 2013 and rarely used while she worked for other businesses. In 2026, she decided to return to self-employment. Bookings came in by phone and message, and quotes and payments were handled by hand.
The problem
Brides search online, often months before the wedding. Corina is well respected for her work, but she was hard to find. There was nowhere to see her work, understand how fittings work, or book a time with her.
What I built, and why
- A website built around what brides ask first: what she does, how fittings work and how to book.
- Online booking on every page, so a bride can book a fitting the moment she's ready.
- Invoicing and card payments, so clients can pay online or in the studio.
- A contact form that reliably reaches her inbox.
- Search set up so she's found on Google, Bing and AI search.
- A way to see how visitors use the site, so it keeps getting better.
The result
The site went live at the start of October 2026. In the first week, 20 bookings came in through online booking. Before, she had 2 to 3 a week.
What Corina got
- A website she can update herself
- Online booking and invoicing that work together
- Card payments in the studio
- Backups, security and spam protection set up from day one
In Corina's words
“Oh my gosh! Every time I check my calendar there's another booking! And the site looks amazing.”

Where it started
Mike has been in the trade since 1986. His only online presence was a Facebook page that he started in 2025. Before that, he was a word-of-mouth, business card kinda guy, with a long list of happy customers and no record except an extensive camera roll.
The problem
When people looked him up, all they found was a Facebook page: no clear list of what he does, no easy way to see his best work, and no simple way to ask for a quote.
What I built, and why
- A fast, simple website that leads with Mike's own before-and-after photos of real jobs.
- A suburb checker and a quote form that takes photos, so Mike knows the job before he heads out.
- Call and text buttons on every page, because that's how his customers like to get in touch.
- An easy way for happy customers to leave a Google review.
- Search set up so he's found on Google, Bing and AI search.
- Checks that everything keeps working, and a monthly report of enquiries.
The result
Live since October 2026. I'll add the results once there are a few months of numbers.
What Mike got

Where it started
Swag 1T is a small New Zealand business selling handmade insulin pump bands for people living with type 1 diabetes. The online store was already up and running, built by another developer. In September 2026 I worked through it to make it easier to shop, especially on a phone.
The problem
Over time the store had begun to unravel. The tags had grown to 202, the products had no SKUs (product codes), and the photos showed only the fabric print, not the finished band. Many customers shop on their phones, and the store didn't always work well there either. Pages scrolled sideways, buttons were small, and with hundreds of products, finding the right band took too long.
What I changed, and why
- Fixed the shop on phones: no more sideways scrolling, and buttons big enough to tap.
- Cut the product tags from 202 to 26, so browsing by pattern or type actually helps.
- Added sorting, with the newest bands first.
- Added one must-answer question to each pump band, so every order has the detail needed to make the band right.
- Clear returns and privacy pages, and accurate product wording.
The result
Orders now arrive with everything needed to make the band, and shoppers browse 26 clear tags instead of 202. The store is easier to shop on a phone, and the wording is accurate.
What Swag 1T got
- A store that's easier to shop on a phone
- Orders with every detail needed to make the band
- Accurate wording, and clear returns and privacy pages
- All without the cost of a rebuild
