Websites That Changed
How They Do Business

The Outcomes Behind These Projects

Screenshots only tell you a site looks good. What matters is what changed for the business after launch. Here is what each of these projects actually delivered, in plain terms.

David Prusinowski, CPA practiced accounting in Syracuse for more than 20 years without any website at all. His first-ever site now ranks locally for his three service lines, including a dental-practice specialization most competitors don't even mention, and brings in qualified organic inquiries without a dollar of ad spend. If you run a firm in the same position, the CPA website design page shows how I approach it.

Xtreme Companies had two completely different service lines, dumpster rentals and stampcrete, competing for attention. One custom site now sells both, with a four-size dumpster guide, same-day delivery messaging, and local SEO built town by town across Onondaga and Oswego Counties. That structure is the blueprint behind my contractor website design work.

Country Glazed Donuts, a two-time CNY Readers' Choice Best Bakery winner, needed a site as good as its reputation. It got a menu-first design with live open/closed status on the homepage and email and SMS flavor alerts that bring regulars back. Mazzye's Meats in Liverpool got a full digital storefront: ten product categories, click-to-call ordering throughout, and SMS alerts for specials and holiday ordering.

Two cleaning companies show the range. Humble Hands Cleaning was an established Syracuse company whose old site undersold the work; the rebuild is mobile-first, built around three core services, and earned an unprompted five-star review from the owner. Dina's Cleaning was the opposite: a brand-new business with five years of experience and zero online presence, launched with five quote-ready packages and a 100% satisfaction promise front and center. Brightly Made Events books full-service event rental consultations across Auburn, Syracuse, and the Finger Lakes from a catalog-driven site that shows the setups, not just lists them.

The two AI products are a different kind of proof. JARVIS turns a web address into a real redesign preview in about two minutes, and Alertling takes a texted photo live on a website, Facebook, Instagram, and Google in under 30 seconds. I founded, designed, and built both, which is the strongest evidence I can offer that AI consulting from me means working with someone who ships real products, not slideware.

What Every One of These Projects Has in Common

Different industries, same fundamentals. Every site here is hand-coded, with no page builder bloat, so it loads fast enough for Google to reward it. Every one is built mobile-first, because that is where local customers actually search. Every one has structured data, local SEO, and clear calls to action wired in from day one rather than bolted on later. And every one comes with the same arrangement: hosting, updates, and ongoing SEO included, with no lock-in.

Most of these businesses are in Syracuse and Central New York, because that's home. But the same approach works in Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, and anywhere else in New York State. If you want to know what the process looks like from your side, the how it works page walks through it: discovery call, custom proposal, and most sites live in about two weeks.

One honest note: I don't publish made-up percentages. Where a client shares numbers, they're in the case study. Where they don't, I show you the work itself, every page, every feature, and let you judge whether it would win you as a customer.

How to Use These Case Studies

If you're evaluating web designers, read these the way you'd check a contractor's references. Start with the business most like yours: a service business should read the cleaning and contractor studies, a shop or restaurant should start with the bakery and butcher, and a professional practice should read the CPA study first. Then click through to the live site and test it yourself on your phone. Does it load instantly? Can you find the phone number in five seconds? Would you trust this business? That's the bar every project here had to clear.

And notice what's missing: no template look-alikes, no stock-photo hero banners, no "coming soon" pages that never change. Each build started with how that specific business gets customers, whether that's a phone call, a quote form, a consultation, or a walk-in, and every design decision worked backward from there. When you're ready, tell me how your business gets customers and I'll show you what I'd build for it.
