Selected work

Nine sites, live and in use.

Each one was built for a real business with a specific problem.

Mountain Inn homepage showing the new brand and room booking options
Hospitality 2026

Mountain Inn Dayton, TN

Problem
A family-owned motel was leaving a national franchise. It needed its own name, its own look, and a way to take bookings without the franchise system.
Built
A new brand identity and a mobile-first site with room listings, real photography, and booking through Booking.com and Expedia.
Outcome
Relaunched as an independent motel under its own brand. Guests can browse rooms and book from their phones.

Deer Creek Stone homepage: Tennessee stone, quarried right
Stone quarry Lighthouse 95 · mobile2026

Deer Creek Stone Graysville, TN

Problem
A family-owned flagstone quarry was rebranding from Galvez Stone. Buyers outside Tennessee had to be able to find it under the new name and trust it.
Built
The new brand and a Next.js site: quarry-direct positioning, a product showcase, a project gallery, a blog, and a quote-request flow. Search setup aimed at stone buyers nationwide.
Outcome
Live under the Deer Creek Stone name, with every page leading to a quote request.

Celebration Event & Venue homepage
Event venue Lighthouse 98 · mobile2026

Celebration Event & Venue Knoxville, TN

Problem
The venue had no website and no social media. Couples and event planners had nowhere online to find it or see the space.
Built
A multi-page site with a photo gallery, pricing information, and a quote-request flow for weddings, receptions, and corporate events.
Outcome
The venue's first real online presence. Planners can now see the room, check pricing, and ask for a date in one place.

NightShift Hotels homepage
SaaS + website Lighthouse 99 · mobile2025

NightShift Hotels

My own company, not client work.

Problem
Hotels lose bookings when calls go unanswered after hours.
Built
NightShift itself, an AI call-handling and reservation product for hotels, plus its marketing site: design, UI, conversion layout, and deployment.
Outcome
The site is where hotel owners first learn what NightShift does.

Josh Jordan for Sheriff campaign homepage
Political campaign Lighthouse 98 · mobile2026

Josh Jordan for Sheriff

Campaign concluded

Problem
Voters needed to learn who the candidate was and what to do next, mostly on their phones.
Built
A voter-first campaign site: a structured narrative, clear calls to action, and fast load times on mobile.
Outcome
The campaign has since concluded.

  • Mobile-first

Gsudz Detailing homepage with service packages
Auto detailing Lighthouse 98 · mobile2026

Gsudz Detailing

Problem
Pricing and contact details had to be easy to find, so customers would book instead of calling to ask.
Built
Clear service packages, strong calls to action, and a map link that opens directions in one tap.
Outcome
Pricing and contact are up front. The owner's take is in the reviews below.
  • HTML/CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Local SEO

Referees Sports Bar & Grill homepage
Restaurant & bar Lighthouse 98 · mobile2026

Referees Sports Bar & Grill Dayton, TN

Problem
The bar needed one place for its menu, photos, and contact details.
Built
A multi-page site (menu, gallery, contact), mobile-first, with search and social-sharing metadata, deployed as a fast static site.
Outcome
One link the bar can share everywhere, and it previews cleanly when posted on social media.
  • HTML/CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Local SEO

Lias' Cleaning Co. homepage
Home cleaning Lighthouse 97 · mobile2026

Lias' Cleaning Co.

Problem
A family-owned cleaning service is asking strangers to let them into their homes. The site had to earn that trust quickly.
Built
A clean, mobile-first site with service highlights and calls to action that lead straight to booking.
Outcome
A simple, credible first impression for new customers.

Makeover by Maria homepage with the newspaper-style headline Knoxville's Lashes Just Got Better beside a portrait of Maria
Lash studio Lighthouse 95 · mobile2026

Makeover by Maria Knoxville, TN

Problem
A Knoxville lash tech's site was full of placeholders, and its generic look didn't match her brand.
Built
A newspaper-themed redesign around her editorial photoshoot: the full lash menu with real prices, real client lash results, English and Español messaging, a booking request flow, and LocalBusiness structured data.
Outcome
A distinctive site that looks like her brand, scoring 95+ on mobile performance and 100 on accessibility and SEO.

In their words.

Badass. To the point — and it's already driving real conversions.

Beautiful design and easy to use. The website showcases our venue far better than social media alone.

How it works

From first call to launch.

  1. Talk

    A short call about your business, your customers, and what isn't working now. You get a fixed quote after.

  2. Design

    I lay out the pages around what your customers need to do: call, book, or ask for a quote.

  3. Build

    You get a private preview link and can watch it come together. Feedback goes straight to me.

  4. Launch

    Tested, live on your domain, and handed over. The code, domain, and hosting are yours.

About

One person, start to finish.

I'm Shiv. I design, write, build, and deploy every site myself, so you're never passed between a salesperson, a designer, and a developer who've never met.

Since late 2025 I've shipped production sites for a motel, a stone quarry, an event venue, a sports bar, a cleaning company, a detailer, a lash studio, and a sheriff's campaign. I also built NightShift, an AI phone product for hotels. Working with owners like these keeps me honest: a small business site has one job, and it's getting the phone to ring.

I'm also finishing a B.S. in Criminal Justice at UTC on a pre-law track (December 2026).
