A fence contractor's site moved off WordPress.

What was there before

Build Rite Construction builds fences and gates in Elk Grove, CA, and ran its old site on WordPress through GoDaddy, auto-renewing at $60 a quarter. That auto-renewal is now cancelled: GoDaddy shows the account status as "CANCELS SEP 28, 2026."

What we built

One page, built in Next.js and TypeScript, 13 commits, shipped in 34 days, from 13 August to 16 September 2026. It runs on the client's own domain, thebuildriteconstruction.com, not a subdomain of ours.

Where the leads go

The estimate form posts to a Cloudflare Pages Function, which forwards it straight into a Telegram group Build Rite's team already reads. We picked Telegram over email for one reason: the client is already in that group, and he does not open email.

What happened

$240 a year is no longer spent on the old hosting, confirmed the day the GoDaddy renewal was cancelled. The client posted a public 5-star review on our Google Business Profile on 17 August 2026, under his own name and company.

"We've been building fences in the Sacramento area for over 20 years as Build Rite Construction, and our old website was long overdue for an update. Igor from IG Digital Lab…"

What we would do differently

The form has no counter of its own; every estimate request lives only in Telegram, nothing logged back into our systems. The next project like this gets a lead log from day one. The gap is smaller than it sounds, and better admitted here than found by a client first.
