🇺🇸Detroit, USA· Heavy steel

Ironside Motors

Built tough.

A heavy, industrial Detroit garage site with the muscle to match the work — and a back office that runs the whole bay.

01The brief

A metro-Detroit shop that fixes cars built for salt, potholes and 150,000-mile commutes. The site had to look as rugged as the work, while booking jobs and running the shop.

02What we built
  • Industrial marketing site — dark hero, an orange service ticker in the header, a diagonal-cut "Book a bay" slab, a chevron stat strip.
  • Online booking + Stripe payments, quote pay-links.
  • 4 Detroit tools — winter-readiness check, pothole-damage estimator, battery-health score, repair-vs-replace.
  • 24/7 AI assistant, customer dashboard, 12-module admin CRM (dark, data-table-forward).
  • Automated confirmations, reminders & review requests.
  • Hyperlocal + AI-search pages across Downtown, Corktown, Royal Oak, Ferndale and more.
