One Engineer, Four Hollywood Small Businesses: IT, Web, and Automation
Not every engagement is an enterprise build. Over several years KYTHEL served a portfolio of Hollywood small businesses whose problems will sound familiar to anyone running one: fragile backups, missed orders, and websites that stopped earning their keep.

- Location
- Hollywood, FL
- Project period
- Late 2010s onward
- Scope
- Four small-business engagements with distinct requirements
Where it stands: Several still call for support or website changes, billed per job.
The challenge
- A law office needed secure document backups, workstation maintenance, and protection for four staff stations handling sensitive client files.
- A bathroom renovation contractor had an outdated web presence that produced no high ticket leads.
- A boutique florist took orders manually, and missed notifications meant missed deliveries during exactly the holidays that pay the year’s rent.
- A seasonal summer food program needed its IT stood up fresh every year, run for the season, and wound down cleanly.
What we built
Law office: managed workstations and secure backups
Automated encrypted file backups, business grade endpoint protection, and ongoing workstation maintenance across the office.
Contractor: web design built to sell
A modern WordPress site with financing options integrated for high ticket remodels, plus local SEO to put it in front of nearby homeowners.
Florist: order automation
A custom WordPress e-commerce store wired to instant SMS and email alerts through Twilio and Zapier, so every order announced itself the moment it arrived.
Summer program: seasonal IT on schedule
Domain, Google Workspace, custom Python reporting scripts, and a clean annual startup and shutdown routine across a three year engagement.
The results
- The law-office engagement covered document backups, endpoint protection and workstation maintenance.
- The contractor reported more remodel enquiries following the website and local-search work.
- The florist gained immediate order alerts through SMS and email, reducing reliance on manually checking the store.
- The seasonal program used a repeatable IT startup and shutdown process across three years.
