The Problem Holding the Business Back
Hy Street Barber Shop has been an iconic staple in downtown Orrville, OH for over 20 years. However, its old website was severely outdated and full of broken external links—some of which redirected loyal customers to unsafe third-party websites. The shop was losing walk-ins and appointment bookings due to compromised online links.
The challenge was restoring trust for a respected 20-year business, removing the broken and unsafe external links, and building a straightforward mobile-friendly portal that Blair and his barbers could rely on without tech headaches.
The Custom Hand-Coded Solution
We built a rock-solid, custom-coded web presence that highlights shop history, displays operating hours prominently, features individual barber info, and provides 1-tap Google Maps navigation for local walk-ins.
