The challenge
1Stop helps Northern Virginia homeowners replace their HVAC systems with confidence. An independent assessor scopes the job, vetted contractors submit sealed bids, and 1Stop explains the differences between bids without recommending a contractor. A new business with that model needed everything at once: a credible website, a way to capture homeowner requests and contractor applications, tools for assessors in the field, and professional phone and email.
What I built
- Website and intake: a fast, mobile-first site where homeowners request a free assessment and contractors apply to join the network, with address autocomplete and every request saved and emailed
- Contractor bid portal: sealed bids, a review step before homeowners see anything, and anonymous side-by-side bids until the homeowner chooses
- Assessor mobile app: for capturing each home assessment on site
- Leads dashboard: every request and application in one place, with CSV export
- Business setup: domains, Google Workspace email, a Google Business Profile, analytics and tracking, and a shared business phone line
Results
- Website, intake, email, phones, and Google presence live in 2 days
- Contractor bid portal and assessor mobile app added in the weeks after
- Live today, taking homeowner requests and contractor applications
- One partner handled the site, apps, email, phones, and Google presence, with no vendor juggling
