Case study

Lux Massage Therapy

Valarie Middleton, LMT · Nacogdoches, TX

The need

Valarie relied on a generic Vagaro booking page — template look, limited branding, and no real home for her business online. View original Vagaro page → (opens in a new tab)

What we built

A custom site at nacluxmassage.com with branded design, mobile-first layout, clear services, and direct Book on Vagaro integration. Visit live site → (opens in a new tab)

Results

Documented outcomes only — not invented traffic or revenue numbers.

  • Moved from a generic Vagaro template landing page to a branded marketing site on a custom domain
  • Primary homepage CTA reaches Book on Vagaro in a single clear action
  • Mobile-first layout so clients can learn about services and book on phone
  • Services, location, and contact presented as a real business — not only a scheduler

Before & after

Before — Vagaro template

After — Custom N8Forge site

Booking that fits the business

Online booking still runs through Vagaro — the platform Valarie already uses — but it feels native on the new site. Clients browse services, learn about Lux, and book without confusion.

“Nathan took our Vagaro page and turned it into a website that actually feels like Lux Massage Therapy. Clients can learn about our services, find us easily on mobile, and book without confusion. It looks professional, and I finally have something I'm proud to share.”

Case study

Arreguin HR Consulting

Tarah Arreguin, MBA, PHR · Nacogdoches, TX

The need

Tarah was launching Arreguin HR Consulting, LLC in Nacogdoches and East Texas with no website and almost no internet presence. Prospective clients had nowhere to learn who she is, what fractional HR support looks like, or how to start a conversation.

What we built

A custom site at arreguinhrconsulting.com: branded professional presence, situation-based entry points (employee problem, handbook, hiring, manager support, ongoing HR), service pages, local pages for East Texas / Nacogdoches / Lufkin, founder story, resources, and a clear path to schedule a consultation or request an HR assessment. Visit live site → (opens in a new tab)

Results

Documented outcomes only — not invented traffic or revenue numbers.

  • First professional website and custom domain — previously no site
  • Named local presence for HR consulting in Nacogdoches, Lufkin, and East Texas
  • Situation-based paths so owners can start without HR jargon
  • Consultation and assessment CTAs throughout the site
  • Credentials, services, and service area presented as a real firm instead of a blank search result
  • Resource articles as an ongoing visibility base

Starting point & after

Starting point

No website and very low internet visibility. Prospective clients had nowhere to find the firm, services, or a way to start a conversation.

After — Custom N8Forge site

A consultation path that fits a consulting practice

Visitors start with the situation they are facing — not HR jargon — then move to schedule a consultation, request an assessment, or contact the firm. There is no booking widget to force; the site matches how a consulting relationship actually begins.

FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers so you know what happens after you say yes.

How long does a website take?
Typical turnaround is about 10 business days after we agree on the plan and content. Larger projects or content delays can take longer.
Do I own my website?
Yes. When the project is paid and delivered, the website is yours. I'll help with handoff or ongoing care if you want it.
Are there contracts?
We'll agree on scope, price, and timeline in writing before work starts so expectations are clear — no long-term lock-in for the build itself.
What does the $49/month cover?
Monthly Care is optional and typically includes hosting, backups, security updates, and small content edits so you're not stuck maintaining the site alone.
Is hosting required?
Your site needs to live somewhere. You can use my care/hosting plan or host on your own account — we'll choose what fits you.
Is the domain included?
If you already own a domain, we'll connect it. If not, I can help you register one (domain renewal is usually a separate yearly fee from your registrar).
Can you use my existing booking system?
Yes. Many clients keep tools like Vagaro, Calendly, or Square. I'll integrate the booking path into a polished site instead of forcing you to switch platforms.
Can you write the content?
Yes. I can help draft pages from notes, interviews, or your existing materials so you're not staring at a blank page.
Can you take photos?
I can help with photo planning and selection, and coordinate or guide shoots when it makes sense for the project.
Can you redesign an existing website?
Absolutely. Outdated, slow, or template-looking sites are a common starting point — we keep what works and rebuild the rest.
Can you help with Google?
Yes — basic SEO on the site, Google Maps, Analytics, and guidance on Google Business Profile so local customers can find you.
What do I need before we start?
A clear description of your services, preferred contact methods, and any brand assets you already have (logo, colors, photos). We'll fill gaps together.
