Five recent client sites. The screenshots are the live sites, every number was measured on 2026-09-20, and each one says where it came from. Where there is no before, the card says so.

Lightning Rubbish Removal website after the rebuild

Lightning Rubbish RemovalRebuild · Sept 2026

Rebuilt in September. The first full month of numbers lands in October.

My work on the site ran 8 to 15 September 2026. Nothing on record covers the period after it yet, so this card shows where the site stands today and nothing more.

Lighthouse 12 mobile, 2026-09-20. Before not measured.

Why no before-scores: the audit reads live headers, DNS and response time, which nothing archives. From the next client on, I run it before touching anything and keep the report. Where the old homepage was never archived, the slot says so rather than showing a stand-in.

From 'I don't know what to do' to 41 families in 12 weeks

She built her nanny agency herself, and within a year or so she was ready to close it. Families were still looking for her. They just could not get through. Over twelve weeks this summer, 41 new families reached out to her.

Off Wix. Almost twice the people finding them on Google.

Childcare in this city is busting at the seams, and Sunhouse had grown on referrals alone, one family telling the next, carried by the hustle of two sisters. The one thing not pulling its weight was how they showed up online. We spent the summer building that properly. New customers grew 138%.

4x last year's new customers. In two months.

We built the first website for an independent Shaklee distributor, then answered the questions skeptical buyers ask before they buy. 8 new customers in July and August 2026, four times all of 2025, alongside the launch, and her first leads from the US.

Common questions

What kind of projects does Wired Builder take on?
Websites, sales systems, SEO, automation, and security work for growing businesses, plus the occasional thing that does not have a category yet, like turning a set of listing photos into a cinematic property walkthrough. The projects here are the honest version: what the job was, what got built, and what it did once it shipped.
How long does a project like these take?
Most site builds run a few weeks from scope to launch. Smaller pieces, a landing page or one automation, are often days. Each case study lists its own timeline, and you get a real date before the work starts rather than a range that slides.
What does a project like this cost?
It depends on the work, so there is no price menu. We start with a call, the job gets scoped, and you get a fixed project price or a monthly rate agreed up front. No hourly meter and no surprise invoices.
