Overview

Student housing platform (California, USA) A California property owner managed two student housing properties entirely through word-of-mouth. I designed and shipped a Next.js marketing site unifying both properties, deployed on Cloudflare Workers, with Zoho-routed inquiries and Google Business Profile setup for local SEO. The site now generates inbound inquiries and closed its first deal within weeks of launch. Next.js · Cloudflare Workers · Zoho Mail · Google Business Profile · SEO

The Problem

JimDaisy owned two student housing properties in California and had no online presence. Prospective tenants found them through word-of-mouth alone, which limited reach and made it hard to showcase room availability. When the owner reached out, the brief was simple: one website, two properties, a clear way to inquire, and it had to rank for local searches.

The Solution

I designed a single Next.js site with dedicated pages per property, each showing available and occupied rooms. The architecture decisions were driven by the client's need for low operating cost and fast global performance:

Next.js App Router for static generation of marketing pages and fast Core Web Vitals
Cloudflare Workers for hosting — zero egress fees, unmetered bandwidth, edge-cached globally
Porkbun for the custom domain (jimdaisy.com)
Zoho Mail routing inquiries from the contact form to a professional @jimdaisy.com inbox at $0/month
Google Business Profile set up for both properties to capture local search traffic
On-page SEO optimized for student housing keywords in the local market
