Barton Springs Moving

An Austin mover, caught at the handoff and rebuilt on a modern stack. A custom quote engine, a much faster site, and a stack the owner fully owns.

The challenge

A real business, about to inherit a generic build.

Barton Springs Moving was one handoff away from a templated site with no real backbone. The owner is a friend in the middle of a rebrand, so the timing mattered. We stepped in and rebuilt it properly. Keep what works, add a real lead engine, and hand back a site they own outright instead of rent.


Before & after

Same company, rebuilt from the ground up.

What we shipped

A faster site, and a machine that brings in jobs.

01

A custom quote wizard

One guided flow that captures the move, measures the driving distance, and drops a qualified lead straight into their CRM. No generic contact form, no lost enquiries.

02

A rebuild the client owns

Their own database, their own media library, and the full code repository, on a setup that lets them choose where it runs. Nothing rented, nothing locked in.

03

Real security under the hood

A hardened admin login, hashed credentials, and privacy consent built in from the start, the kind of groundwork a local mover almost never gets.

04

An SEO foundation to grow on

Clean structure, service and location pages, and schema markup, so the site is built to climb for the searches that actually book moves.


Same trusted mover. A faster site, a real lead engine, and a stack that is theirs to keep.
