Project highlights
How we approached it.
The challenge
A founder was spinning a home automation, access control, and security studio out of an established security business. The eventual product is an app and a hub. The immediate question was smaller and more urgent: will people in this market pay for professionally installed, local-first systems, and can we book consultations now?
Our approach
We resisted building the product first. The fastest way to answer a demand question is to sell the offer and see who replies, so we shipped the brand, the positioning, and the smallest real sales machine: a site that explains the packages and a pipeline that captures and works the leads it generates.
What we built
A Next.js marketing site covering how it works, what gets installed, fixed-price packages, and service area, plus a consultation form that writes to Postgres, sends an instant email notification, and feeds an internal admin console where each lead can be triaged with a status and notes.
The outcome
Live at controlspark.com and taking consultation requests, giving the founder real demand signal and a working pipeline to answer it, all before committing budget to the product build.
