Case study 01 · Website and email takeover

A Maryland tax accountant’s website and email, taken over in three weeks

In short

In September 2026, Lyons Web Solutions took over the website, domain, and business email of a tax accountant in Maryland, all of which sat in accounts her previous web developer controlled. Three weeks after her first call, she had a new website live on her domain, and 10,436 emails, 1,585 contacts, and 1,715 calendar appointments in a Microsoft 365 mailbox of her own.

The situation

She came to us after her web developer stopped helping her. She had asked ChatGPT for someone local she could trust to take over her website and stay with it. It named three firms, and Lyons Web Solutions was one of them. She called, and sent her questions in writing the same day: could we verify that she owned her domain, would her email address stay the same, and would we be her long-term support company.

When she came to us, her website showed every visitor a maintenance notice. Her business email and calendar sat in a Google Workspace account she could sign in to but did not control.

The domain

Her domain name sat in an account her developer controlled. We helped her ask for admin access to it, and once she had it we moved the domain over to us on a call with her, so that nothing about her website or email depended on the old developer’s accounts. We manage the domain for her now, and if she ever leaves, we release it to her.

The website takeover

We built a new website on our managed WordPress hosting and put it live on her domain.

The email migration

She made a backup of her email before anything moved. Google’s account recovery needed permissions she did not have, so we set up a mailbox in her own Microsoft 365 account and moved her mail, contacts, and calendar out of Google Workspace into it: 10,436 emails in their original folders, 1,585 contacts, and 1,715 calendar appointments going back to 2021. Her email address did not change.

The result

Three weeks after her first call, the new site was live and her email was in an account of her own, where she is the only user. We host and maintain the website from here, and she calls or texts when she needs something. If your situation looks like hers, this is what our website takeover service covers.

Products ranking

In short

A World Of Goods For You, a designer resale shop in South Carolina, came to Lyons Web Solutions for a website that could handle payments, layaway, and customer accounts, and for a national marketing campaign. Within six months, dozens of its products ranked on page one of Google against Louis Vuitton and The RealReal.

The brief

A World Of Goods For You, LLC came to us seeking a flexible website solution for payment processing, user accounts, and more. They were also interested in a national marketing campaign to help designer bag and fashion lovers find their website.

Automation

Before working with Lyons Web Solutions, employees at AWOG4U were forced to manually track customer orders, payments, and other tedious bits of information. Now their entire system is automated, allowing customers to track and even pay for layaway items at their own leisure.

Search performance

Over the following year, AWOG4U saw a large increase in organic traffic. Despite the fact that only 5% of new pages rank on page one of Google within their first year, we were able to help AWOG4U rank dozens of products on page one within six months, consistently competing with top sellers such as Louis Vuitton and The RealReal.

Case study 03 · Web design

Fifteen new clients in the first two weeks

In short

Bay Region Counseling, a counseling practice in Maryland, came to Lyons Web Solutions for a website redesign that would work with its client portal. In the first two weeks after launch, the practice gained 15 new clients.

The brief

When Bay Region Counseling needed a website overhaul, they reached out to Lyons Web Solutions LLC. They were looking for a design that would not only attract new clients but also sync easily with their client portal system.

Portal integration

The requirement they emphasized was integration with their existing client portal. We not only met that requirement but delivered seamless integration, which increased efficiency for both staff and clients and improved the experience for people booking care. The streamlined process allowed easy access to client information, forms, and scheduling.

The result

The modern design, combined with the ease of scheduling appointments and completing forms through the integrated portal, improved the experience for prospective clients. Almost immediately after launch, Bay Region Counseling saw a significant increase in leads and conversions, bringing in 15 new clients during the first two weeks.
