Client 01
Plandome Haircutters
Live client site — compensated in services (free haircut), not cash
Business Type
Local Barbershop
Location
Manhasset, NY
A. Summary
I built and deployed a live website for Plandome Haircutters, a local barbershop in Manhasset, NY. The site focuses on helping customers quickly call the shop, get directions, view services, check hours, read FAQs, access Instagram, and leave a Google review.
B. Adjustments / Changes Made
Started with a larger website + booking + owner/admin concept.
Spoke with owner/staff and learned they preferred a simpler website-only version.
Removed booking/admin from the customer experience.
Focused the final version on calls, directions, services, hours, reviews, Instagram, and local trust.
Added Google review link using the shop's real Google review QR/place link.
Installed Google Analytics 4 to track website activity and customer actions.
Built custom GA4 event tracking to measure real customer actions (call-button clicks, directions clicks, review clicks, Instagram clicks) instead of relying on default pageview data alone.
C. GA4 Analytics
Over a 28-day period (Jun 16 – Jul 13, 2026): 35 users, 131 page views, 17 call-button clicks, 9 directions clicks, 8 review clicks, 5 Instagram clicks

GA4 Events report for the Plandome Haircutters website, from custom event tracking built to measure real customer actions (call-button clicks, directions clicks, review clicks, Instagram clicks) rather than pageviews alone.
D. Deployment Proof
Vercel deployment proof will be added after the portfolio is deployed.
Status: Live client site. Compensation was a free haircut (services), not a cash payment — Plandome is not a cash-paying client. The numbers above are call-button clicks, not confirmed calls or customers, and no revenue has been generated or claimed for the business.

Client 02
Tony the Tailor
Paid client ($20) — first paying client
Business Type
Tailor, Dry Cleaner & Alterations
Location
Manhasset, NY
A. Summary
I built and deployed a live website for Tony the Tailor, a family-owned tailor, dry cleaner, and alterations shop in Manhasset, NY established in 1991. Tony is my first paying client, at $20. The site includes real photography I shot on-site, a services section, a gallery, hours & location, and click-to-call.
B. Adjustments / Changes Made
Shot and edited real on-site photography instead of using stock images.
Built a services section covering tailoring, dry cleaning, and alterations.
Added a photo gallery, hours & location section, and click-to-call.
Installed GA4 tracking on its own property, separate from Plandome Haircutters, live at launch.
C. GA4 Analytics
GA4 event tracking installed and verified live (July 2026). Traffic data still accumulating.
GA4 proof that event tracking is installed and firing correctly on the Tony the Tailor site. This confirms tracking is live — it is not customer traffic, since the site just launched.
D. Deployment Proof
Vercel deployment proof will be added after the portfolio is deployed.
Status: Paid client — $20 (first paying client). GA4 tracking is installed and verified live, but the site just launched in July 2026, so there isn't enough traffic yet to report numbers. No revenue has been generated or claimed for the business.
