Websites for local business
A fully managed website for a simple monthly plan — most builds have no upfront design bill. More complex builds (e-commerce, multiple locations, custom integrations) are scoped individually with their own project quote.
Liminal Consulting
I build and manage websites for local businesses, and automate specific repetitive tasks when that's exactly what's needed — without cutting the people who make the business run. Automation should buy owners time, not headcount.
The approach
Every recommendation starts from the same place. Whether it's a five-page website for a local shop or a single repetitive task that's costing hours every week, the standard is the same: free up the people already running the business, don't replace them.
That discipline comes from a background in Navy Intelligence, time spent across a few different industries, and now enterprise IT and AI work. Liminal Consulting brings the same instincts — clear systems, real visibility into what's running, no black boxes — to businesses that don't have an enterprise budget behind them.
What I build
A fully managed website for a simple monthly plan — most builds have no upfront design bill. More complex builds (e-commerce, multiple locations, custom integrations) are scoped individually with their own project quote.
If a specific repetitive task is costing you hours every week — data entry, follow-ups, reporting — I'll automate that task. Scoped individually once you know what you want handled, not bundled in by default.
Selected work
Platform rebuild
Migrated Lock's producer sound-kit platform off Shopify onto a fully custom Next.js stack on Vercel, giving him full creative control and cutting the platform fees the old setup carried. Built the membership layer underneath it — automated Discord role delivery on payment, plus a daily check that revokes access if a subscription lapses — ready for the Members Area launch.
Pushed to production days ago with an extremely smooth rollout — the first live e-commerce build handling real customer and payment data.
Full case study →Self-directed build
An autonomous, human-gated pipeline that researches, critiques, and proposes improvements to a bootcamp curriculum every night — then hands final say to a person. A self-hosted n8n scheduler kicks off a Claude-powered agent that researches the AI-education market, critiques the current curriculum against it, and writes concrete change proposals, without ever touching the live curriculum directly. Every stage streams into a three-monitor observability layer: a live pipeline graph, a research intel feed, and a review queue for approving or rejecting each change by hand.
Nothing reaches the live curriculum without a human reading the diff and confirming it — every version is snapshotted, so any applied change can be traced or rolled back.
Full case study →Service design
Designed Liminal's own service model for local businesses: fully built websites with no upfront design bill, in exchange for a simple monthly plan instead of a large invoice.
The same model presented on this page to prospective clients — built and priced against real local-market data before asking anyone else to trust it.
Full case study →Small business automation
Automated two of the most time-consuming manual tasks running Pack's trading card storefront. One workflow pulls and consolidates daily orders across TCGPlayer, Wix, and eBay into a single bookkeeping sheet — previously done by hand, field by field, every day. The other scrapes live TCGPlayer secondary-market prices each morning, applies them across the matching product catalog, and displays them with a strikethrough against Pack's below-market pricing.
3–5 hours of manual data entry removed from the day, every day — work that would typically cost upwards of $2,000 to have custom-built.

Whether that's a website that hasn't been touched in years, or a process someone re-does by hand every week — that's the starting point for a conversation, not a sales pitch.
