Crawford Software Works v2 rebuild
A clean, database-driven rebuild of the CSW website with admin-editable content, service pages, local landing pages and site-health tooling.
In short
This portfolio item shows the type of practical website, web app, admin, database or business-system work Crawford Software Works can plan and build for small businesses.
Public examples are summarised carefully where client details, commercial information or internal workflows should stay private. The useful part is the approach: understand the goal, design a clear route, build maintainably and leave the client with a sensible next step.
Project overview
This internal project shows the direction of CSW v2: a cleaner PHP/MySQL website with database-driven content, admin tools, service pages, SEO/AEO/GEO checks, local pages and a maintainable installer-first workflow.
The project is shown as a practical example rather than a sales claim. The aim is to help visitors understand what kind of problem was being solved, what decisions mattered and how a similar approach could be adapted for another business.
Challenge
The existing site needed to present web design more clearly while keeping custom software, admin panels and business systems visible.
Solution
The rebuild uses a PHP router, MySQL-backed CMS records, editable service and area content, public templates, schema output and internal checker tools.
Outcome
The result is a stronger foundation for future content, better local pages and a clearer split between web design, clean custom websites and bespoke business systems.

Questions and answers
Can this kind of work be adapted for another business?
Yes. The exact design and workflow would change, but the same approach can be used for websites, admin panels, databases, portals and practical business tools.
Why are some project details summarised?
Some systems include private client processes, commercial data or internal tools. CSW shares enough detail to explain the work without exposing information that should remain private.
What should I send if I want something similar?
Send the business goal, examples of the current problem, any must-have features and whether you need public pages, admin control, automation, reporting or ongoing support.
