Five-brand Next.js 16 rebuild for a Maryland dry-cleaning franchise — culminating in a federal-compliant launch inside the U.S. Department of Education building. First contracted Hummus Development engagement, scoped, shipped, and delivered.
Yasha Taginya runs Wheaton Valet Cleaners and three sister locations across the DC metro. The existing Lovable.dev site loaded slowly, lacked a path for individual brand pages, and was never going to ship the inbound the team wanted before their fifth location — a federal site inside the Department of Education's Liberty Press facility — went live.
Scope: a complete rebuild on a stack the business could grow into, five distinct brand experiences under a single deployment, real intake (email + SMS), and an honest SEO foundation that didn't rely on tricks. Delivered as a fixed-price engagement under Hummus Development LLC.
One Next.js codebase, one Vercel deployment, five distinct visual identities — each tuned to its physical location's vibe and customer base.
Family-owned local dry cleaner in Wheaton, MD. Warm palette, hours, services grid, 4 sister-locations cross-link.
Premium hub with two storefronts. Distinct branding, separate intake, custom hours.
Sub-location of the Debonair brand with its own storefront content and contact details.
Newer location with full feature parity to Wheaton — services, hours, intake, SEO.
Full standalone brand experience peer to the four public sites. Cinzel federal serif, parallax hero with starburst seal accents + parchment grid texture, live countdown to opening day, federal-corridor about block, custom 6-service grid, FAQ accordion, sister-locations grid. No public Schedule Pickup CTAs — federal-only access; tel: and email-only contact paths.
RESEND_API_KEY set via printf not echo (the trailing-newline gotcha that breaks generated URLs is real)./api/intake endpoint that returns {"ok":true,"email":true,"sms":true}.
Every brand page ships with its own structured data so Google has unambiguous machine-readable signals — not generic boilerplate. Twelve JSON-LD schemas across the property: LocalBusiness, Organization, Service (per service), FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, plus location-specific PostalAddress.
