The Problem

The staffing business needed a credible public presence and a lead pipeline; the portal exists so office staff can manage jobs without spreadsheets.

The Role

Founded and ran the staffing operation from 2017–2019. Later personally designed and built its digital presence: the marketing site, the portal, and the build tooling behind both.

A public marketing site plus an employee/manager portal in one repository, with a generated-page build pipeline, real-quote testimonials, and two lead-generation funnels.

The Design

• A generated-page architecture (edit source partials, run a build script, get static pages) so content changes never require hand-editing HTML.
• A real-quote testimonial system and an operational 'services completed' counter used as social proof.

The Build

• The public site and an employee/manager portal in one repo, plus the portal API layer that Jarvis's integration-health system reads from.
• An image-optimization pipeline for the site's before/after project photography.
• Two named lead-generation forms for separate service lines.

The Hard Part

• Advised the owner (a scope call Sean made and the owner confirmed) to present drywall, paint, and flooring as repair-and-remodel support rather than standalone trade services until licensing is confirmed: a compliance judgment, not just a design one.
• Found an unauthenticated API endpoint exposing employee pay rates and contact information; flagged and scoped as a fix.
