CL Designs and what runs it.

The public site

• 01

  Six pages that sell the practice

  Services for ADUs, residential, commercial and permitting; a portfolio of Central Coast projects; the firm's five-step process from consultation to construction support; testimonials; contact.

• 02

  Built to be found

  Clear service pages for the questions owners actually search — ADU design, remodels, change of occupancy, permit applications — with the process spelled out so the first call is a short one.

The system behind it

• 01

  One pipeline for every project

  Intake → city records discovery → floor plans and elevations → consultants → construction documents. Every project moves through the same stages, so nothing waits in an inbox.

• 02

  Three sign-ins, one record

  A staff panel that sees and edits everything. A client portal where owners review and sign proposals. A consultant portal for collecting a packet, writing a proposal against it, and finding the executed contract afterwards.

• 03

  The signature that starts the work

  When a client signs, staff are told and the consultant is cleared to begin — one loop instead of a chain of emails. Meetings go out as Google Calendar invitations with a Meet link.

• 04

  Their data, their accounts

  The app runs on the firm's own database and sign-ins. Accounts are invited, never self-served, and the firm can open any portal as its owner to see exactly what a client sees.
