Automotive aftermarket · New Jersey

A restyling shop positioned among the top luxury names in New Jersey.

Challenge: The shop's work belonged in the luxury conversation, but its online presence didn't, and the customers who spend at that level couldn't find it.
Our work: Courtney rebuilt the website, improved its SEO, and helped establish partner relationships with Novitec and Brabus so the shop appears alongside the names its customers already trust.
Outcome: More business coming through the shop, and a presence that matches the vehicles it works on.

Retail and creative · Hillsborough, NJ

Launch infrastructure for a new creative studio, designed around its booking system.

Challenge: A new studio was preparing to open with an unfinished template site, recurring platform costs, and a class booking system that had to carry the operation.
Our work: A ground up custom website designed around the studio's booking backend, so classes are managed in one place and published everywhere, at near zero recurring cost.
Outcome: Live at thesewhappystudio.com, with classes published from one place and running at near zero recurring cost.

Commercial and industrial · Shepherdsville, KY

A diesel shop's first search presence, built around the phone call.

Challenge: The shop had no website and no search presence, in a market where fleet managers and stranded drivers find help online and decide in seconds.
Our work: A five page site designed for how customers actually reach a diesel shop: 24/7 roadside up front, click to call throughout, a mobile call bar, real shop photography and local SEO for its market.
Outcome: Launched August 2026 on the shop's own domain, a direct line from Google to the service desk.

Challenge: A growing studio was ready to be known for post-operative recovery, but its platform built site, buried services and frustrating booking widget were holding the brand back.
Our work: A full rebrand and a custom five page website built around the studio's highest value services, with online booking integrated on the page, redundant subscriptions retired and local SEO rebuilt.
Outcome: Launched August 2026. Live, indexed, taking bookings, and running at a lower monthly cost than the setup it replaced.

Nonprofit · New Jersey

A working platform for a young foundation: donations, events and credibility.

Challenge: The foundation needed a credible public presence, donation processing and event ticketing, without adding administrative burden to a small team.
Our work: A five page website with integrated donations, live ticketing for the foundation's fundraisers, and inquiry forms routed straight to the team. We maintain the site as events open and close.
Outcome: A live platform at mccowncf.org accepting donations and selling event tickets, on infrastructure that costs almost nothing to run.

Nonprofit sports league · Platform migration

Decades of league history, saved from a platform shutdown.

Challenge: One of the largest nonprofit collegiate baseball leagues for young men pursuing professional careers was facing the end of its PrestoSports platform. Years of records, rosters, statistics and league history lived there, with no path off it.
Our work: Courtney migrated the league's data onto a new platform, built the new website around it, and trained the organization's people to maintain the site themselves rather than depend on outside help for routine updates.
Outcome: The history was preserved, the league continued without interruption, and the organization now runs its own site.

Our work: A custom website through multiple versioned releases, a domain migration, integrated scheduling, and a comparison of booking and payment platforms matched to how coaching packages sell.
Outcome: A distinctive live site and a platform roadmap chosen on economics and fit.

Challenge: A licensed home improvement contractor with real projects to show was paying for a template platform that showed none of them well.

Outcome: Live at 2klbuild.com, with the recurring platform cost retired.

Property management · Website and digital infrastructure

A domain locked in transfer, and a launch that didn't wait for it.

Challenge: The company's new Wix website was ready to go live, but an ICANN 60 day transfer lock kept the domain stuck at its previous registrar.
Our work: Courtney managed the technical setup of the site and domain, and worked around the lock by connecting the existing domain to the new Wix site through DNS while registration stayed at Squarespace.
Outcome: The new site launched on schedule, and the domain transfer completed later on its own clock.

Coaching and residential services · Advisory

Two businesses, one owner, and a structure that let both grow.

Challenge: A life coach who also owns sober living homes was running two very different operations under one roof, with the overlap creating friction rather than leverage.

In their words

From Google reviews.

Working with Courtney has been a game changer. She not only helped me improve my Google Business reviews, but also gave me practical strategies to strengthen my overall business. I can already see the difference in how smoothly everything is running.

David CerqueiraService Director, Benzel-Busch Mercedes-Benz

Courtney did an unbelievable job with my website. She went above and beyond to understand my needs and delivered not only an amazing site, but also a complete branding strategy that has taken my business to the next level. Worth every bit of the investment.

Stephen StasiulewiczOwner, Lux Restyling

As an entrepreneur with years of experience, I have encountered many individuals who over-promise and under-deliver. Courtney is a refreshing exception. In just a month, she took my pages from being buried in search results to ranking number one on Google.

Joseph CampisanoOwner, multiple ventures including a rental car service, barbershop, construction company and restaurant

I had a very scattered concept of what I wanted for my business logo and website and somehow Courtney nailed it in one shot. Even when I wasn't on the ball, she was. The value of her services far exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Alexandra KnightGoogle review

Between her personal touch and insight to her level of professionalism she is a true pro. I will be using her in all my future web design and creative necessities. She truly helped my brand stand tall against the rest.
