King Wash was my first side project to reach full production, a home car detailing service with a completely digital experience. The vision was to make high-quality vehicle care accessible anywhere, whether customers were at home, at work, or shopping.
To achieve this, I designed and implemented a full booking ecosystem that connected customers with the service in a simple, transparent, and professional way. Beyond just building a website, this project became a fully operational business where technology, branding, and real-world service delivery worked hand in hand.
My Role
End-to-End Product Development: Took the idea from concept to production, designing both the digital platform and the business workflows.Frontend Development: Built a responsive, customer-facing website where users could explore services, packages, and guarantees, and complete bookings online.
API Development: Created a backend API using Laravel Lumen to handle reservations, customer data, and service requests efficiently.
Dashboard Application: Developed a standalone dashboard for company staff to manage bookings, schedules, and customer communications in real time.
Business & Brand Building: Defined the company’s values, trust policies (satisfaction guarantee, rain guarantee, pay-after-service), and branding to create customer loyalty.
Core Features
Booking System: Customers could select individual services or bundled packages, schedule appointments, and manage their reservations online.Operational Dashboard: Internal web app to manage bookings, assign staff, and track service completion.
