Before and after working with COAI.
Real stories from real clients. No inflated numbers, no fake before-and-afters.
No website. Customers found him through word-of-mouth only.
Live sovereign site with Google schema. First client call within the first week of going live.
Wix site that loaded slow, didn't rank, and cost $23/month with no lead tracking.
Custom-coded site that's fast, ranks on Google Maps, and captures every lead with AI follow-up.
Restaurant had no online presence. Relying entirely on foot traffic.
Built a website that brought in online orders and new customers who found them through search.
Record label had an outdated site that didn't reflect their brand.
Professional, sleek website that matches their brand identity and drives engagement.

Just me. No agency. No middleman.
I'm Jason Robert Manuel. I live in Bakersfield, I run this business by myself, and I'm good at what I do. I build websites that work — hand-coded, fast, and designed to bring in actual job calls, not just look pretty.
I started this because I saw local businesses getting ripped off by template builders who charge monthly for something they should've just given you outright. I do it differently: you pay once, you own it forever, and you can call me directly if something breaks.
I'm not a big agency. I'm not trying to scale to 100 clients. I take on a few at a time so each one gets my full attention. If that sounds like how business should work, let's talk.
