One of our team members in Greece introduced us to a small family-run restaurant that had built a wonderful reputation in their local community but had no digital presence.
When we sat down with the owners, they shared something that really stayed with us: they had always dreamed of having a digital presence, but they simply didn't know where to begin.
So we introduced them to Base44, walked them through the entire process, and built a website for them completely free.
Today, their customers can easily discover the restaurant online, browse the menu, and make reservations through a website that truly reflects the warmth and character of their family business.
The joy and gratitude on their faces reminded us why we love doing what we do. Knowing that a simple website could help a hardworking family reach more people and grow their business was incredibly rewarding.
Sometimes, small businesses don't need a complete transformation.
They just need someone willing to help them take that first digital step.

Giving a Local Business the Digital Glow Up It Deserves
For the #GiveItAGlow challenge, I chose FACE FOUNDRIÉ, a beauty and skincare business with an existing online presence, and reimagined how customers experience the brand online.
Before
(https://facefoundrie.com/)
Their website shared the right information but left room for a more modern, streamlined customer journey. Visitors had to navigate through multiple pages to find treatments, compare services, and book appointments, with little personalized guidance along the way.
Using Base44, I designed and built a fully responsive website focused on simplicity, elegance, and conversion.
The new experience includes:
✨ A premium, mobile first design
✨ Clear service discovery for facials, brows, lashes, and skincare
✨ A redesigned membership experience
✨ Faster and more intuitive appointment booking
✨ An AI powered Skin Expert that helps customers choose the right treatment based on their skincare goals
Automation
To create real business value, I implemented an AI Superagent that answers frequently asked questions, recommends treatments, guides customers through the booking process, and reduces repetitive customer support. I also added automated appointment confirmations and lead capture to streamline communication and improve the customer experience.
This project demonstrates how thoughtful design and automation can help local businesses save time, improve customer engagement, and create a more memorable digital experience.
Thanks to @Base44 and Contra for creating a challenge that encourages builders to solve real world problems for local businesses.

✨ Base44 × Contra #GiveItAGlow Challenge
I’m excited to share my submission for the Base44 × Contra #GiveItAGlow Challenge!
For this project, I redesigned the website of a real local Ju-Jutsu school, focusing on creating real value for both future members and the business itself.
Rather than changing the club’s identity, I modernized the overall experience while preserving its original branding and recognizable character.
Before
• Confusing navigation
• Information-heavy pages
• No online booking
• Contact form was difficult to find
• No AI assistance
• Difficult for first-time visitors to know where to start
After
• Modern visual redesign while preserving the original branding and identity
• Cleaner information architecture with a much clearer user journey
• Fully responsive experience across desktop and mobile
• Interactive schedule dashboard with filtering by location and training type
• Online trial booking, allowing visitors to register without calling or sending emails
• Clearly accessible contact form instead of hidden contact information
• Bilingual AI Assistant (German & English) that answers FAQs and helps visitors choose the right training
• Faster, simpler, and more intuitive experience for both visitors and the business
The goal wasn’t simply to redesign the website.
It was to create a solution that helps the club welcome new members more efficiently, reduces manual communication, and makes booking a training session as simple as possible.
🎥 Below are the Before & After walkthrough videos.

Super😍
What if getting a tattoo felt more like collaborating on a design project than sending messages back and forth on WhatsApp?
That's exactly what I built.
For the @Base44 Glow Up Challenge, I chose a real tattoo studio in Toronto that creates incredible artwork—but whose digital experience didn't match the quality of their craft.
So I rebuilt everything.
🎨 A complete visual redesign
🤖 AI-powered tattoo ideation
💬 Built-in collaboration between artist and client
📅 Integrated scheduling and booking
✨ One platform from first idea to final appointment
I like to describe it as "Figma for tattoo studios."
Instead of scattered conversations across multiple apps, every design, revision, approval, and booking happens in one workspace.
