The business
What they needed
Wicked Kreations is Cody Rinehart's custom car shop in Lincolnton, NC, open since 2005. He does paint, body and metal work, custom fab, chassis, air ride, hydraulics, powder coat, wiring, engine swaps and full builds.
His reels do the talking on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. But he had dropped his old website because nobody was looking at it.
A new customer had no one place to see his builds, check his hours or send him a job with photos. And nothing gave his fans a reason to come back.
What we built
The build, screen by screen
We built the site to feel like pulling up to his shop. Every page looks and acts like a real garage, with things to tap, so people stay and come back. It went live on October 30, 2026.

The whole build
The home page is his garage door. It rolls up in his hours and shows if he is open, the weather out front, Get a quote and Call. Step in takes you inside the shop at night, where every spot says what he does there.
The body shop has a page for each of his 13 builds, with his photos, his captions and his reels. His reels play on a drive-in screen. The quote form takes photos and video and sends the job straight to the shop.
