Overview
Melton's Home & Auto is my family's small-town automotive shop. I rebuilt their online presence with a modern, mobile-first site and have started layering in automation that takes repetitive marketing and admin work off their plate.
This project matters to me because it lets me apply enterprise engineering habits to a real business that I care about personally, solving real day-to-day problems for the people who helped me become who I am.
Goals and Outcomes
- Ship a fast, clear, mobile-friendly site for the shop.
- Improve local SEO rankings and lead generation in their area.
- Build better lead nurturing and post-service follow-up flows.
- Reduce administrative load so the family can stay focused on customers and repairs.
- Keep the architecture easy to extend as the business grows.
Architecture and Stack
- Next.js and TypeScript power the main marketing site.
- TailwindCSS keeps the interface responsive and consistent.
- Playwright supports regression coverage for core customer flows.
