Projects

Harris Lawn & Landscape Website

Architected a responsive three-page website for a lawn care business in Chicago, Illinois, featuring services, pricing, and a contact form.

Problem: Small local service businesses need credible web presence fast, but generic templates feel cold and don’t meet service-area detail.

Solution: Built the site with Next.js and Tailwind, optimized for discoverability with neighborhood-specific SEO copy for the 60619 area, and integrated a pricing display with a streamlined contact form.

Impact: Delivers a more localized and trustworthy user experience for nearby homeowners while improving lead capture and client communication.

HTML Accessibility Checker

Provides accessibility feedback on pasted HTML or a public page with targeted checks for a business's QA process.

Problem: Markup issues like missing alt text, weak link labels, and heading skips are easy to ship; dense WCAG docs don’t help people iterate quickly on a fragment or page.

Solution: Built a Next.js app that fetches website data and also accepts URLs to display accessibility issues along with potential suggestions for fixes.

Impact: Turns accessibility into an inspectable, explainable loop: see the issue, read why it matters, and get a concrete fix hint in one place.
