Bud Block’s Appliance & Repair is a local Kalispell business serving the Flathead Valley. Like a lot of small businesses, what they needed was a website that works for them — not one that ties them to a vendor they don’t control.
Case Study · Appliance Repair
How we freed Bud Block's from a locked website — and built one they own.
Bud Block's came to us for a redesign, but their old website was locked to a service provider they'd already left. We built them a clean, simple site they actually own — then kept growing it.

Unlocked
from a website tied to a provider they'd left — to one they own and control.
The client
A trusted local name in appliance repair.
The challenge
A website they couldn't take with them.
Bud Block’s came to us for a redesign, but they had a deeper problem underneath it: their existing website was locked to a service provider they were no longer using. The site they’d paid for wasn’t really theirs to move, change, or control.
Before anything could grow, they needed a website built on a foundation they actually own.
What we did
A clean site they own — and keep building on.
We started with ownership, then grew from there.
STEP 01
Built a clean, simple website they own
We rebuilt their site on a standard, portable foundation with no vendor lock-in — theirs to control, now and in the future.
STEP 02
Expanded their services and content
As the business grew, we expanded the site's services and content so it reflects everything they actually offer.
STEP 03
Growing rankings and awareness nearby
We're working to grow their search rankings and awareness in neighboring communities, so more of the Flathead Valley finds them.
STEP 04
Managed Google Business Profile
We keep their Google Business Profile managed and updated — the local listing that turns nearby searches into calls.
STEP 05
Managed Google Workspace
We manage their Google Workspace and accounts, so their email and everyday tools just work.
STEP 06
Marketing consulting when they need it
We're on call to consult whenever they're weighing other online marketing decisions.
The result
A foundation they own — and keep growing.
Bud Block’s now has a clean, simple website they fully own, with no provider holding the keys. From that foundation, we’ve expanded their services and content, and we continue to grow their rankings and awareness across neighboring communities.
With their Google Business Profile and Google Workspace handled and consulting a call away, they can focus on the work while their online presence keeps improving.
