The Challenge
Like many growing small businesses, JZ Auto Appearance Specialties faced two main challenges:
Limited time to manage online marketing and digital operations.
An outdated digital presence that didn’t reflect their reputation or make it easy for customers to connect — especially after hours.
Josh had tried DIY website builders like Shopify but found them frustrating and time-consuming. He wanted a professional, done-for-you solution that would look great, function seamlessly on mobile, and generate consistent customer engagement.
