LC Garage

LC Garage sells heavy equipment - excavators, bulldozers, loaders. Their old WordPress site was bleeding money and wasting time. Twenty bucks a month in hosting. Pages took 8 seconds to load. Half their contact form submissions were spam - fake emails, bot messages, people trying to sell them services. They were sorting through garbage to find real buyers. I tore it down and built something better. Fast pages that load in under 2 seconds. A spam filter that catches 95% of junk before it hits their inbox. An admin dashboard where they can add equipment listings, upload photos, and see all their inquiries without touching code. The old site was built on WordPress with a clunky page builder. Every time they wanted to add a new piece of equipment, it was a 10-minute ordeal - copy the last listing, update the text, upload photos one by one, hope nothing breaks. Now they log into a simple dashboard, fill out a form, drag and drop images, and hit publish. The listing goes live instantly with proper SEO titles, mobile-friendly layout, and fast image loading. The spam filter is the real money-saver. It checks every submission against known spam patterns, disposable email domains, and suspicious behavior. Real customers get through instantly. Bots get blocked. LC Garage went from 50 inquiries a week (25 real, 25 spam) to 25 inquiries a week (24 real, 1 spam). No more wasted time. Hosting was another drain. Twenty dollars a month for slow WordPress hosting that crashed during traffic spikes. I moved them to modern hosting that costs zero dollars and loads faster. Pages are cached, images are optimized, and everything works on mobile. The search feature helps customers find equipment fast. They type "excavator" and get every excavator in stock. They filter by year, hours, condition. No scrolling through pages. No guessing. Just results. This is what good web development looks like - faster, cheaper, easier to manage. LC Garage now spends less time on their website and more time selling equipment.
