AI Agents & Websites for Service Businesses | Next.js, n8n, WordPress
I build AI agents and websites for service businesses, as one system that turns missed calls and dead website traffic into booked jobs: an AI agent that answers, qualifies and books, wired into a site built to convert, the calendar and the CRM. Most businesses lose revenue in the same two places. Nobody answers after hours, and the website doesn't convert the people who do land on it. I fix both as one system instead of two projects. WHAT I BUILD • AI voice agents and AI receptionists that answer, qualify, escalate real emergencies, and book directly into your calendar. Twilio, OpenAI API, calendar and CRM integration. • AI chatbots and RAG assistants trained on your own documentation, so they cite your policies instead of inventing them. • Workflow automation in n8n, Make and Zapier: lead routing, qualification scoring, CRM sync, with alerting so nothing fails silently. • Missed-call text-back and automated review generation. • Websites and web apps in Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind and WordPress, built for conversion and local search rather than decoration. • Full-stack SaaS. I designed, built and shipped MealPreppi, a multi-tenant AI meal-planning app on Supabase with role-based permissions enforced in Postgres RLS, realtime sync across households, and an AI planner that reads leftovers, cook rotation and each member's macro targets. Delivered here on Upwork: an AI lead qualification agent, a RAG chatbot, an AI voice receptionist, SMS automation with AI intake, n8n workflow debugging, and conversational AI prompt engineering. MEASURED, NOT CLAIMED • 100% Job Success Score. • An AI lead qualification agent that took a client's lead response time from about 4 hours to under 3 minutes. • A 28-page WordPress lead-generation site scoring 100/100/100 on Lighthouse across five page types. LCP 0.5s, CLS 0, TBT 0ms. • A cinematic scroll site where I found a repaint bottleneck and took worst-frame render time from 1055ms to 39ms. • Designer as well as developer. I created the logo and most of the visual identity for the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, where as front-end developer I have led multiple full rebuilds of public platforms serving 30,000+ monthly users, improved performance by up to 30%, refactored legacy systems of 20,000+ lines, and driven three county websites from below WCAG A to full WCAG 2.1 AA under DOJ-mandated standards. Government work is unforgiving about performance, accessibility and not breaking URLs. That turns out to be exactly what local search rewards too. WHO I WORK WITH Service businesses and trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, tree service, locksmiths, med spas. Plus agencies and founders who need an automation or integration built properly rather than bolted on. WHAT THINGS COST (see my Project Catalog) AI lead qualification and workflow automation: from $300 AI chatbot trained on your business docs: from $750 AI booking system added to the website you already have: $997 AI voice receptionist: from $1,500 New website with AI booking system built in: $2,500 Signature cinematic website with AI booking: from $8,500 SaaS MVP with roles, billing and one AI feature: $10,000 Full multi-tenant SaaS build with billing and AI: $15,000 Ongoing tuning and management: from $299/month Fixed price wherever the scope allows it, so you are not carrying the risk of how long it takes. Custom scopes are quoted after a short call. HOW I WORK I build before I pitch. Several pieces in my portfolio are complete, deployed sites I built to win the job rather than after winning it. I would rather show you working software than a list of adjectives, and it means you can judge the quality yourself instead of taking my word for it. I tell you what I found even when you didn't ask. Every project closes with numbers: what it produced, what it recovered, and what is still exposed. If you already know what is broken, send me the specifics and I will tell you exactly what I would build and what it would cost. B.S.
