A rebuild for an Austin party-bus company whose site was a dark template with testimonials that had no source, and whose lead emails could fail without anyone knowing. The new one is set like the LED destination sign on the front of the bus, fits a group to a bus by headcount, and gets every trip request to the owner or tells the visitor to call.
Captured from the live site, www.go2guypartybus.com. Not a mockup.
The site came from a generator: dark cards, blue buttons and three rider testimonials signed with a first name and an initial. Nothing tied them to a customer, so they came down; real ones can go back up with the customers’ permission.
Trip requests were emailed to the owner, but the code never read the email service’s answer, so a refused email still told the visitor “request sent.” Bots were filling the contact form too, and each one sent the owner a fake lead and an automatic reply to a made-up address. The last change to the site had also failed to deploy.
Every bus carries an LED sign over the windshield; the site is set like that sign: amber dots on a black housing for the moments that matter, civic signage type for the headlines, and warm ticket paper for reading and planning.
The home page opens on the sign itself, drawn dot by dot: the block on the left is the bus (16 or 32 seats) and the lines on the right step through the trips groups book, lighting column by column. Below it, “How many are coming?” fills one mark per seat on each bus, picks the smallest bus that fits and works out its starting price. In the request form the same sign spells out the visitor’s own trip as they fill it in.

Lighthouse performance score, desktop profile. The phone profile scores 75 from our test server: most of a phone’s work is starting the framework the request form runs on.
Lighthouse 12.8 on the live home page, 29 September 2026: mobile profile (simulated slow 4G) unless a figure says desktop. Scores move a little from run to run.
The three unsourced testimonials came off, and nothing replaced them until there are real ones.
Every price on the site is arithmetic on the owner’s published rates, labeled as a starting price, with the owner confirming the final quote.
The photos are the owner’s, as supplied; each one’s description says what is in the frame and nothing more.
