🧵 #GiveItAGlow submission: Tails Cleaners & Tailoring, Old Town Chicago
the #1 rated tailor in old town Chicago has been on wells street for 20+ years. their entire online presence: a google listing that says "add website."
i'm a customer. they saved me before a trip when no other tailor answered the phone. so i built them the site they deserve.
THE BEFORE
→ no website
→ 10 google reviews despite 4.2★ and 37 reviews on yelp
→ wrong hours on every platform, bookings by phone only
THE AFTER — built on @Base44
→ live site: https://tails-old-town.base44.app
→ online booking: capacity-limited slots, confirmation + owner emails
→ alteration quotes with photo upload → straight to the owner's inbox
→ ai assistant that answers hours, services & booking — and never invents pricing

Give It A Glow: Edi Performance Strength Coaching - Edi Performance had zero online presence — clients had to text back and forth just to book a session. I built it from scratch in Base44: a mobile-first site with programs, pricing, results, and a 'Book a Free Consultation' form. Wired in automation too — every new lead gets an instant confirmation email, and the trainer gets notified right away, so no more missed messages. https://grinning-kinetic-peak-labs.base44.app/
Excited to share my submission for the #GiveItAGlow Challenge!
I built a complete AI-powered digital platform for [Sunny Paws Veterinary Clinic], a local business that was still relying on phone calls and paper records for everything.
With Base44, I created:
1. An online booking system with automated reminders.
2. A client portal where pet owners can view visit history and vaccination records.
3. A staff dashboard to manage appointments, inventory, and daily schedules.
4. An AI chat assistant to answer common client questions 24/7.
The goal wasn't just a pretty website; it was solving real operational headaches for a business that needed it.
More updates and a full demo walkthrough coming soon.
I'm incredibly humbled by what I was able to build using the Base44 mobile app alone.
This week, I am away from my workstation, but the theme and direction of the challenge inspired me to take on a project anyway.
I decided to redesign the website for my favorite local barbershop, KAYZPLACE, after noticing several usability gaps the last time I visited it.
I'll admit, I was skeptical about whether I could complete an entire website using only my phone. But Base44 completely changed my perspective. Having used several website-building platforms in the past, I can confidently say this is one of the most optimized experiences I've had for mobile-first development.
The seamless performance across mobile, tablet, and desktop without compromising functionality genuinely impressed me.
Using only my phone, I built a completely redesigned version of the KAYZPLACE website featuring:
• Online service booking
• KAYGENT, a custom AI assistant that answers FAQs, helps customers choose the right barber and service, explains pricing, assists with reservations, and provides personalized aftercare recommendations between visits
• An admin dashboard for managing bookings, tracking customer data, and sending email notifications
These capabilities were either missing on the original website.
The new experience makes booking appointments significantly easier while giving the business better tools to organize appointments and customer information.
The most exciting part is that every aspect of this project was created entirely within the Base44 mobile app, without ever opening my computer.
The final product is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices, tablets, and desktop screens alike.
I shared the finished website with the shop owner today, and his reaction made all the effort worthwhile. Seeing how excited he was about the transformation reminded me why I love building products that solve real problems.
A huge thank you to the Base44 team for creating such an incredible platform.
This challenge has been both inspiring and genuinely enjoyable, and it's amazing to see what's possible with the right tools even from the palm of your hand.
