Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I first hired Garrett and Spearlance Media to build a website for a Christmas light installation business, and after seeing the quality of work, I quickly expanded the scope to include additional projects in landscaping, pest control, another Christmas light installation, and a large-scale water damage restoration company website.

Across all projects, Garrett and his team provided full-service web design and development focused on lead generation and local visibility. Key deliverables have included:

-Conversion-focused layouts designed to turn visitors into leads
-Mobile-responsive design optimized for all devices
-Clean, modern UI/UX tailored to local service businesses
-SEO-friendly site structure, including proper headers, metadata, and internal linking
-Fast load speeds and optimized performance
-Integration of calls-to-action, forms, and tracking for lead attribution
-Content layouts built to support local SEO, including service area pages
-Ongoing collaboration and quick turnaround times on each project

The result has been a series of high-quality websites built quickly, affordably, and with the right foundation for both SEO and conversion. I continue to work with Garrett for ongoing and future web development needs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The biggest outcome of working with Garrett and his team has been speed, quality, and peace of mind. They consistently deliver websites quickly, respond immediately to edits or new ideas, and even accommodate additional client requests without hesitation. This has allowed me to shift my focus back to what truly drives results for my clients: ongoing SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, hyper-local content, and client relationships. The measurable success is not just in the number of sites completed (six and counting), but in the reliability and efficiency of their process, which directly enables me to generate more leads and ROI for my customers.

Their project management has been excellent. Every deliverable has been completed on time, often faster than expected, and the communication is seamless.

I send feedback, and within a day or two I get an email confirming that the changes have already been implemented. The team never makes us wait, they handle requests quickly and efficiently, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure our needs are met. They’re responsive, collaborative, and make the process seamless.
