What I Did for Tipperary Garage
I handled full-stack web development and design for this project, turning the client’s vision into a responsive, high-performance website for PD Garage Tipperary Mechanical Services.
Key contributions included:
- Web Design — I created a clean, modern UI/UX from the ground up, prioritizing user-friendly navigation for their service listings, contact forms, and inquiry system. I incorporated automotive-themed visuals and intuitive layouts to appeal to local customers in Tipperary looking for quick, reliable repairs.
- Web Development — I built the frontend using Next.js for excellent server-side rendering and lightning-fast loading times, delivering a seamless experience across desktop and mobile devices. I integrated Tailwind CSS to create efficient, customizable styling that perfectly matches the brand’s professional yet approachable identity.
- Content Management — I implemented Sanity as a headless CMS, empowering the client to easily manage and update service details, blog posts with car maintenance tips, promotional offers, and other content — all without needing any technical knowledge. This setup supports real-time edits and future content scaling.
- Additional Features — I optimized the site for SEO to boost local search visibility (e.g., terms like “Tipperary garage services” or “engine reconditioning Tipperary”). I added responsive image handling for their vehicle gallery, ensured accessibility compliance, and included secure inquiry forms. The foundation is also ready for future expansions such as online booking or payments.
This project let me leverage my expertise in React-based frameworks (Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind) to deliver a robust, easy-to-maintain website that strengthens the garage’s online presence and highlights their 20+ years of experience, collaborative business model, and commitment to affordable, high-quality auto repairs.
