The 806er Media Page

The806er

A local media platform built to keep West Texas informed, connected, and engaged. We partnered with The806er, a local media outlet covering news, interviews, community stories, weather, businesses, and everything happening across the region. This project required much more than a traditional news website. We built a dynamic media platform designed to handle constantly changing content while connecting readers with the people, businesses, and communities around them. The site features integrated interviews and articles, paid advertising opportunities, continuously updated weather and radar, and an interactive map highlighting local businesses with information pulled directly from Google Maps. We also developed API integrations with major local city resources, giving The806er another way to bring useful community information directly to its audience. For merchandise, we integrated the website with Shopify, allowing customers to shop and complete their purchases directly on The806er while inventory stays synchronized with their Shopify store. And we didn't stop there. We also custom-developed an AI-powered feature specifically for The806er, adding another layer of functionality to an already feature-rich platform. Custom-built media platform News, blogs & integrated interviews Paid advertising system Live weather & radar Interactive local business map with Google Maps integration City API integrations Integrated merch store with Shopify inventory syncing Custom-developed AI functionality Built for desktop & mobile Not just a news website a digital hub built around West Texas and the people who call it home.

Wise Cardinal Realty

A modern, professional real estate website designed for Wise Cardinal Realty, a Lubbock-based brokerage specializing in residential and commercial real estate, rentals, investments, and property management. The centerpiece of this project is its integrated IDX property feed, allowing visitors to explore real estate listings directly through the website.

The website also features dedicated service pages, rental listing integration, investment opportunities, and clear calls to action that connect potential clients with the brokerage. Built with a focus on modern design, intuitive navigation, and functionality, this project demonstrates how a real estate website can go beyond a simple online presence to become a valuable tool for property discovery, client engagement, and business growth.

Traci Baxa for JP3

Traci Baxa Campaign

We designed and developed a complete campaign website for Traci Baxa’s run for Lubbock County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3. The goal was to create a professional, trustworthy, and easy-to-navigate online presence where voters could quickly learn who Traci is, understand her priorities, and find clear ways to support the campaign. The website brings together Traci’s background, vision for the office, endorsements, campaign information, and contact details in one central location. It also gives supporters an easy way to volunteer, contribute to the campaign, and stay connected throughout the election. The site was built with a strong focus on mobile responsiveness, clear navigation, and accessibility so voters can find the information they need whether they are visiting from a phone, tablet, or desktop. Every section was structured to keep the campaign’s message front and center while making important actions, such as donating, volunteering, or contacting the campaign, simple and straightforward. The result is a polished, purpose-built campaign platform that serves as both an informational resource for voters and a practical tool for building awareness, encouraging involvement, and growing support around Traci Baxa’s campaign.
