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

Solution: Built a lawncare website with Next.js and Tailwind, tailored content for Chicago 60619, and a single JSON file for future updates.

Impact: Delivers a client-friendly experience: clear CTAs, trust strip, testimonials, and a contact flow that opens a prefilled email draft.

Problem: People can quickly see coverage volume, but not the tone of recent headlines tied to a specific company.

Solution: Built a web app that fetches live headlines, filters relevance, and uses an LLM to score tone with short rationales.

Impact: Reduced scan time to a fast interactive flow and added side-by-side company comparison with exportable reports.

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 with client-side DOMParser rules, optional URL fetch (SSRF-aware), and honest limitations—inline contrast hints, educational framing, no “compliance certificate” claims.

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