Case study · Cash for junk cars, Cincinnati Tri-State
Cincinnati Junk Cars for Cash.
The title question, answered.
A buyer of junk cars, trucks and SUVs across the Tri-State since 2008. The visitor has a dead car in the driveway and wants one number and a pickup time.
The question that quietly stops the sale
Nobody researches junk car buyers. A car has failed, or it has sat behind the house for two years, and the search happens once. Whoever gives a straight answer fastest gets the call, which makes this a speed and clarity problem before it is a design one.
What actually stalls these sales is the title. Sellers assume no title means no sale, and in Ohio the duplicate comes from the County Clerk of Courts rather than the BMV, which is exactly the sort of detail that sends someone off to research instead of picking up the phone.
One form, four short steps
The offer form sits in the hero and asks about the vehicle before it asks about the person. Year, make and model cascade so there is nothing to type, and a step counter shows how little is left to do.
The parts that do the work
This one is built in React on Vite rather than the Eleventy stack most of the portfolio uses, and prerendered so every page arrives as real HTML. It is still hand-coded with no page builder underneath it, and it is still one flat monthly price.

Run it against the live site yourself. The score below is Lighthouse's own report, not a graphic we drew.
The hero carries a full-bleed photograph and a five-field offer form and still paints its largest element in 0.8 seconds. The image is a sized WebP and the form is plain markup rather than a third-party widget, which is most of the difference.
