My Work

Real results for
real UP businesses.

Every project starts with a conversation and ends with a system that pays for itself. Here's what I've built so far.

Midway General
Store
Wetmore, Michigan · Est. 1971

Website Design & Development

From no web presence to the UP's most complete general store website.

Midway has been a Hiawatha National Forest landmark since 1971 — a cathedral-pine store with a stone fireplace, a resident taxidermy coyote named The Professor, and some of the best pizza in the UP. They had zero online presence. I fixed that.

  • Live YouTube camera feed watching the parking lot 24/7
  • Complete menu system — Midway Kitchen, North of Normal food truck, and Jilbert's Ice Cream
  • Full Summer 2026 concert lineup with artist names and dates
  • Real-time Wetmore weather widget
  • Forest fire danger level — Hiawatha National Forest & UP
  • Live bait price board — Canadian Crawlers, leeches, Pike Suckers
  • Google & Apple Maps directions with AT&T cell service warning
  • Separate hours for store and North of Normal food truck
  • Mobile-responsive on every device

Shopify Store & Automation

A general store's inventory, finally sellable online.

Linda's Bread Box carries everything from bread to bait to sporting goods for the Cooks community. I built out a full Shopify storefront and paired it with automation that handles the busywork in the background, so the storefront runs itself between visits.

  • Full Shopify storefront with catalog, checkout, and shipping configured
  • Automated Google review replies — every review gets a timely, on-brand response
  • AEO-optimized FAQ, About, and Local Events pages
  • Custom domain setup and verification
  • Mobile-responsive on every device

Grand Marais
Mercantile
Grand Marais, Michigan

Website Design & Automation

A little store worth the drive, now findable before you even get there.

Grand Marais Mercantile sits at the quiet end of Pictured Rocks — gifts, Michigan honey and gourmet food, vintage finds, and local art. I built a site with a custom design system pulled straight from the store's own barn quilt, paired with automation that keeps the review inbox handled.

  • Custom barn quilt color system, pulled directly from the storefront's own gable
  • Scroll-driven storytelling from hero through every department
  • AEO-optimized schema so AI search tools surface accurate hours and offerings
  • Automated Google review replies with human-in-the-loop approval
  • Mobile-responsive on every device

Baldy Shores
Kayaking
Wetmore, Michigan

Cross-Property Integration & AEO

One business, two new properties — connected before the doors even open.

Baldy Shores Kayaking already runs one of the strongest small-business sites in the area — real blog content, solid directory presence, genuinely happy customers. When the owner expanded into cabin rentals on Baldy Lake, the job wasn't a rebuild, it was a bridge: tying the new properties into the site that already works, so paddlers can plan a full stay without ever leaving Baldy Shores.

  • New "Where to Stay" page introducing Baldy Lake Cabin and The Perch
  • Main navigation and homepage banner updated to surface the new properties
  • AEO-optimized titles and meta descriptions for AI and search visibility
  • Reciprocal cross-linking planned as each cabin site goes live
  • Delivered same-day, fully remote
