About this project

Lalo's Gutters, operated by K9 Gutters LLC, is a seamless aluminum gutter specialist serving Atlanta and the surrounding area. We built them a custom, fully responsive website that highlights their seamless gutters, gutter covers, cleaning, and fascia and soffit work, designed to turn local searches into calls and estimates.

Behind the public site sits a full custom back office for running the business day to day. The team can create estimates and invoices, print them to hand deliver or send them straight through the built-in email client, track expenses, and manage payroll. The email client even surfaces each customer's context as staff read a message, so they can see who they are dealing with at a glance.

The whole platform is a custom Symfony application rather than a CMS like WordPress, which keeps it fast, secure, and easy to maintain.

Technical Challenges

  • Building a custom business back office from scratch instead of a WordPress or off-the-shelf CMS
  • Designing an estimate and invoicing system with printable documents
  • Building an IMAP email client integrated into the admin panel
  • Surfacing each customer's full email history and context while reading their messages
  • Developing expense tracking for day-to-day business costs
  • Building a payroll module with employee management
  • Modeling the business data with Doctrine ORM on MySQL
  • Creating a fast, fully responsive public website that turns local searches into quote requests
  • Keeping the whole platform secure and maintainable on a long-lived Symfony codebase
