Working with New Orleans, LA businesses
New Orleans sells the world a good time. Its websites rarely keep up.
Restaurants, music venues and tour operators compete for visitors who decide on a phone, often while standing on the street. Behind them, a working port and a lot of very old houses keep everyone else busy.
What makes New Orleans different.
New Orleans is not built like other American cities, and its businesses face problems few others do. Roughly half the city sits at or below sea level, and the 2005 levee failures during Hurricane Katrina flooded about 80% of it. Hurricane Ida came ashore nearby on the same date in 2021. The housing stock is unlike anywhere else: shotgun houses, Creole cottages with courtyards and iron balconies, double-gallery houses and the mansions of St. Charles Avenue. The economy leans on tourism, the Port of New Orleans, the fifth-largest US port by cargo volume, and NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility. Entergy is the city's only Fortune 500 headquarters. The population fell about 5.6% between 2020 and 2024, and the median household income is $58,821. For a website, that means two very different audiences: visitors choosing where to eat, drink and listen tonight, and residents who need contractors who understand old houses, humidity and storm season.

Work, not promises
Something we actually built.
Precision Leak Detection
A site for a leak detection company, built to explain a technical service to worried homeowners. That kind of clarity matters in a city where water is always the issue.
A WordPress leak-detection site rebuilt on Next.js — built around the one promise a homeowner with water under the slab wants to hear: found today, marked to the spot, and written down.
The part we didn’t write
Clients say it better than we do.
What clients say — in their words
“Casey, the owner and developer, took the project and ran with it 100%. I gave him specific direction and he went well above the call of duty. Five star service all the way!”
“Wow! Casey rocked! The process was so easy, I told Casey what I wanted and he built it. My go-to with my online business, which has grown exponentially since working together.”
“First class all the way! From the prompt communication, being available seven days a week, to the nuts and bolts of getting our project completed on time and on budget — I highly recommend!”
“Simply amazing! They took our outdated website and transformed it into a modern, user-friendly platform that truly represents our brand.”
“They get it done. We had no idea where to start; they explained the build process and were patient with our many questions. All expectations and timelines were met. Double thumbs up!”
“Instrumental in driving our company growth through expert management of our Google and Microsoft Ads.”
“They helped us turn a loose idea into a working digital product — asked sharp questions, found the hidden workflow problems, and built a system our staff could use without a long training curve.”
“What stood out was the balance of design and operations. The site looked polished, but the real win was behind the scenes: better forms, cleaner handoffs, stronger tracking, fewer manual steps.”
“They made the technical side feel clear. We talked about goals first — then platforms, content, search, and automation.”
