Sometimes the best solution isn't the most expensive one.
A client wanted a fast, modern website but didn't want to spend on backend hosting.
Here's how we optimized the project:
✅ Used Supabase instead of maintaining a separate backend server.
✅ Compressed 400+ images into WebP format.
✅ Reduced storage requirements to around 50 MB, making the free storage tier sufficient.
✅ Deployed the frontend on Vercel.
The result?
🚀 A fast, scalable website with no initial backend hosting cost and excellent performance.
Great development isn't just about writing code—it's about making smart technical decisions that save clients money without compromising quality.
That's the approach we follow at BeGlobal.

For the #GiveItAGlow challenge, I partnered with a real local tattoo studio and transformed its outdated online presence into a modern, business-ready experience built entirely with Base44.
Instead of creating just another portfolio website, I focused on solving real business problems. The new experience includes an AI-powered consultation assistant, a structured booking workflow, artist recommendations, educational aftercare resources, a searchable portfolio, a professional blog, and automations that help reduce repetitive inquiries and streamline customer communication.
The goal was simple: create something the studio could genuinely use—not a prototype, but a polished, responsive website that improves both the customer experience and day-to-day operations.
Highlights
🎨 Complete premium website redesign
🤖 AI consultation assistant
📅 Streamlined consultation and booking workflow
📚 Educational blog and aftercare resources
👨🎨 Artist profiles and searchable portfolio
⚡ Automated inquiry management, confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups
📱 Fully responsive and production-ready
Huge thanks to Base44 for hosting this challenge and encouraging builders to create tools that deliver real value to local businesses.

absolutely fine
Built a website for a pet hostel business called KUKKU, for dogs and cats. They are popular in their city, but lacked an online presence.
Based in Indore, India, KUKKU was heavily dependent on offline booking and communication, mainly through WhatsApp.
With this website, users and customers can now book hostel slots online and set pick-up date and time, and even choose the hostel location. All the details are live-updated on the Admin/Owner's dashboard, where the owner can see details and update services.
This takes all the burden off managing bookings and contacting customers.
Love the colour palette 🙌
🔨 While everyone else was building loyalty apps for cafés and salons, I went hunting for B2B.
I'm a student in Maastricht, and I deliberately searched the Netherlands for a real industrial business, because every other #GiveItAGlow entry I saw was consumer-facing, and nobody was touching the heavy industry.
I found Laska Speciaal Lasbedrijf: an industrial welding company in Rotterdam, running since 1950. 76 years, five-star reputation, real B2B clients in construction and marine.
One problem: their "Request a Quote" form was broken. Not slow, not outdated — actually broken, showing a raw code error instead of a form. Every day it sat like that, they were losing quote requests from companies who needed an answer fast. 💸
So I rebuilt it. ⚒️
🌐 A professional industrial site — their real 76-year history, real photos of real completed work
📋 A working multi-step quote form — material, scope, deadline, file upload
🤖 An AI workflow that reads every request, classifies it as standard or high-priority based on material and scope, and tells the client what to expect — 3 hours for standard jobs, 24 hours for complex ones — while instantly flagging urgent jobs for the shop manager
I reached out to the real owners by phone and email. They're closed for the weekend, so I'm still waiting to hear back — but wanted to share what's already live and working. 🔥
