From invisible to booked out — a full website rebuild for Petaluma Home Staging Co.
Maria ran a thriving home staging business with one serious problem: her website was killing her leads. We rebuilt it in 11 days. Here's exactly what happened.

The Situation
Maria had been running her home staging business in Petaluma for four years. Word of mouth was good — but her website was working against her. The site had been built in 2018 on a cheap website builder, the design hadn't been touched since, and it was loading in over 8 seconds on mobile.
That alone was enough to lose most visitors before they saw a single photo. But there was another problem she didn't even know about: her contact form was dumping submissions straight to spam. She'd later find out she'd missed at least a dozen inquiries that year.
She came to us wanting a redesign. What she got was a complete rebuild — designed to perform, not just look good.
What We Did
Rebuilt from scratch in Next.js
No page builders, no templates, no bloat. Custom-coded from the ground up — fast by design, not by accident.
Optimized every image and eliminated render-blocking scripts
Her original site was loading uncompressed images and three external scripts that blocked the page from rendering. We cut load time by 83%.
Fixed contact form delivery end-to-end
Rebuilt the form with proper spam filtering, email authentication (SPF/DKIM), and tested delivery to every major provider. No more submissions going to spam.
Set up Google Business Profile and local SEO
Configured her GBP correctly, added structured data to the site, and targeted the search terms her clients were actually using.
Launched in 11 days
We had a defined scope, moved fast, and didn't waste time on decisions that didn't matter. She had a live, indexed, fast site in under two weeks.
The Outcome
The new site went live on a Tuesday. By Friday, Maria had received her first inquiry through it — a referral who had already seen her work but needed to verify she was still operating. The site gave them confidence.
Over the next six weeks, eight more inquiries came in through the contact form. She was used to getting maybe one a year. The staging business was fully booked the following quarter.
We stay in touch. She texts when something needs updating, it gets done. No ticket systems, no monthly retainer, no drama.
“Before Copper Bay Tech, our website was embarrassingly slow and half the contact form submissions were going to spam. They rebuilt everything in two weeks — we've already gotten three new inquiries through the site. Best investment I made this year.”
