Premier Edge Notary Solutions LLC is my side business: a mobile notary service covering Katy, TX and the surrounding communities. This is the website I built for it, the front door clients use to understand what I offer and to book a signing.
The site is live and is where every appointment request starts.
What it does
The site is built around the questions a client actually has before they book:
- Services: the notarizations and signing services I handle
- Service areas: where I travel, centered on Katy and nearby communities
- Reviews and FAQ: social proof and answers to the common questions
- Booking and contact: a clear path to request an appointment or call/text directly
The hero sets the promise up front, "Notarized wherever you are", because the whole pitch of a mobile notary is that I come to your home, office, hospital, or care facility, including evenings and weekends.
Building it
The site is a Next.js app written in TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS, and deployed on Vercel. It's intentionally lean: fast to load, mobile-first (most people find a notary from their phone), and easy for me to update as the business changes.
The contact flow
Appointment and contact requests submit through a form that emails me the details via Resend. That keeps the architecture completely serverless, there's no database to run or secure, and no client data sitting anywhere it doesn't need to. In local development, submissions log to the server console when no Resend key is configured, so I can test the flow without sending real mail.
Owning the whole business
The interesting part of this project isn't the code, it's that the code is only one hat. Running Premier Edge means being the notary, the person who answers the phone, the marketer writing the copy, and the engineer keeping the site up. Building the site myself means I can turn a positioning change or a new service into a shipped update the same day, without waiting on anyone.
Key Takeaways
A local service business lives or dies on trust, so the site leads with clarity: what I do, where I go, and how to book.
A contact-to-email flow via Resend keeps the whole thing serverless and free to run, with no database to secure.
Owning the full stack of a side business means being the engineer, the marketer, and the notary all at once.
