Implementation Details

Settings-Based Architecture

The site uses a unique settings-based architecture:

• settingsUtils.ts — Utility functions to access and format settings

• React components that consume settings via custom hooks

This allows my brother to update services, team members, contact details, and testimonials by editing a single file — no coding knowledge needed.

Results & Impact
