🚨 Your business might not need more software. It might need one better dashboard.
📊 Here's something I actually built.
I created the Local Business Operations Dashboard (Spec Build) to demonstrate how a home-service business can organize its daily operations in one place.
Imagine being able to follow the work:
📩 Customer inquiry → Organized lead
✅ Follow-up → Review and approval
📅 Appointment → Scheduling oversight
🛠️ Estimate → Job tracking
💰 Invoice → Outstanding payment visibility
📈 Dashboard → Know what needs attention
Instead of juggling disconnected spreadsheets, the goal is to make the next step clear.
💜 Here's how I can help your business get started.
Custom Google Sheets Dashboard — Starting at $249
Your starter dashboard includes:
✓ One customized Google Sheets dashboard
✓ Customer, job, and appointment tracking
✓ Estimate and payment status tracking
✓ Outstanding balance calculations
✓ Organized views and basic reporting
✓ Setup instructions and one in-scope revision
No complicated software required.
✨ Want more automation?
My interactive portfolio demonstration also showcases advanced concepts such as approval workflows, simulated alerts, conflict detection, and workflow monitoring.
These are examples of what can be developed in a separately scoped premium solution—not features included in the $249 starter package.
Advanced Google Apps Script automation, Gmail, Slack, CRM integrations, and live Calendar synchronization are quoted separately.
🔎 See my actual dashboard case study:
📩 Need a dashboard built around your business?
Send me the spreadsheet or workflow you're currently using and tell me what's frustrating you.
I'll help identify the right next step.

Independent portfolio demonstration using synthetic data. The interactive browser demo is separate from the customized Google Sheets starter service. No live third-party integrations are demonstrated.

the inquiry to invoice flow is a really clear way to show what it does. are you finding home service owners on here, or reaching out to them directly?
using the contra profile as the landing page is smart, it does the trust part for you. how do you find the owners for the direct outreach, and is it mostly email or calls
The inquiry-to-invoice flow is a brilliant way to show what this does, Ivy. Mapping every step from estimate to outstanding payment visibility makes the value instantly clear. A spec build that speaks a home-service owner's language.

A migration is not complete when the pages have moved. It is complete when the customer journey still makes sense.
For DVA, the work brought a Wix website, two lead funnels, a client portal, and segmented nurture automations into a clearer Kajabi experience.
Five checks I use before launch:
Map every public page and redirect.
Rebuild forms, tags, and follow-up paths.
Test offers and product access with a real user journey.
Check mobile pages and portal navigation.
Document what the client will manage after handoff.

two funnels, a portal, and nurture in one move. thats a lot of moving parts
A private aviation website should do more than look expensive. It needs to turn visitors into qualified leads.
For Fly Velair, I designed and developed a complete digital experience built around their private jet charter and aircraft sales business.
The project included a full Framer website, a custom 3-step booking flow integrated with their CRM, CMS-driven aircraft listings, a dedicated Jets for Sale platform, SEO optimization, 10 search-focused articles, and premium print collateral.
Every part of the experience was designed to feel as premium as the service while making it easier for customers to inquire, book, and explore available aircraft.
Full case study below. Would love to hear what you think.
The 10 search-focused articles are the part most people skip, and for charter that long-tail traffic is probably where a lot of the real leads come from. Curious how you split the build, Framer for the main site and Lovable + Supabase for the jets for sale platform?
