Organized by Wendy
A professional home organizer who was in need of a modern site that reflects her business, without an overly expensive developer.
The problem: Wendy already had a website. It was built and maintained by an outside company that charged a premium with few benefits. She wanted her money to go toward a site that actually worked for her business, not just toward keeping the lights on.
What I built: I rebuilt the site from the ground up and took over maintaining it myself, at a lower cost and with someone who actually answers. Her existing content came across intact, with a contact form built to turn visitors into booked consultations, real spam protection, and the local search groundwork her previous site never had.
What happened: Traffic held steady through the rebuild, which is not a given - a redesign frequently loses visitors during the migration. She now has a structured, streamlined site, and is no longer paying a third party to respond slowly to her own website.
Highly recommend! MC Innovates transformed my outdated, blah website to a modern, coherent, visually appealing presentation. The designer communicated clearly and asked insightful questions. My site is now perfectly tailored to my needs and targeted locale.

GuidePost360
An indoor campus wayfinding tool for emergency responders. It was also the first website I ever built, and I put over a hundred hours into it.
The problem: Emergency responders arriving at a campus have to work from a static map with cramped, hard-to-read styling. In the moments where it matters most, that is not something anyone can read quickly, and a paper map or a general-purpose map app does not handle multiple floors and multiple buildings at all.
What I built: GuidePost360 gives turn-by-turn indoor directions between buildings and rooms, across floors, including an accessibility-aware option that routes around stairs for anyone who cannot use them. Staff with administrator permissions can update the map and room data themselves through a visual admin panel, because hand-editing map data without seeing it is close to impossible.
What happened: The county sheriff's office gave the project their full support as a replacement for the mapping system they were using, and countywide adoption was debated at county board level before the board ultimately went a different way. It runs as a live demo today. It was a turning point in my passion for coding, especially considering it started as no more than a school assignment.
