That Nomad Handyman - small business website

I built this website for a small local business owner: https://thatnomadhandyman.com/

The entire website was almost entirely generated with only a few prompts. The only thing I had to replace was some of the content (for example, the My Recent Work section might still contain some stock images and made up projects and descriptions when you visit this).

Since this is a simple portfolio website I encountered no major problems or difficulties. The most “complex” part of this was getting the Contact form data to be sent to the business e-mail when submitted. My mistake was probably to try and get Assistant to do this. It took 4-5 prompts with some debugging in the mix to get it right. Agent would probably have done that on the first try.

Needless to say, this business owner is very happy. And best of all, I built this with no previous knowledge of webdev or buying a domain and setting up a redirect, etc. And I could do this while watching a movie.

Replit is truly magical!

Lovely that. I need a new bathroom. Does he travel? Manchester, UK. :joy:
How did you find deploying the page to his URL or did you just port the code onto his web server?

Nice, did you build a backend to update the content? Did you host/deploy with Replit?

@junksamiad I bought the domain from Namecheap and setup a redirect following this official video from Replit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=rGYdyb58wJY

@ithinkmedia The website is hosted and deployed on Replit and I just have this redirect.

I didn’t build a backend to update the content and I didn’t want to store it on Replit since that might end up costing quite a bit. I upload the images to https://cloudinary.com/ and I have embed links for the website.
