Lighthouse Cleaning
Marketing site for the cleaning DBA. Services catalog plus an estimate intake, fast on mobile. Leads route straight into the same ops hub Northline uses.
lighthouse.cleaning →Some people need a website. Most need help with the stuff behind one. The Tuesday timesink. The software nobody remembers signing up for. Tell me what's bugging you and I'll take it from there.
A few common starting points. If yours doesn't fit one of these, keep scrolling.
Work that doesn't fit a pricing page:
Airtable, Notion, or the Excel file that quietly became a monster. Made usable again in a couple hours, often saving weeks.
Cancel the five subscriptions doing one job. Add what's actually missing.
Make your tools talk. Square → QuickBooks. Calendar → email list, automatically.
Five manual steps into one. Or zero. The Tuesday-by-hand stuff that shouldn't be.
The customer list that's 40% duplicates. The inventory file last touched in 2019 that everyone's been avoiding. I'll open it.
If it's tech and it's quietly stressful, tell me. If I can't fix it I'll tell you who can.
Email or a quick form. Don't worry about being technical. The more "it's just weird" the better.
Same dayI write back with what's broken and what's worth fixing first. If something else is actually fine, I'll tell you that too.
Within 2 daysFlat fee or hourly cap, with the scope spelled out in plain English so you know what you'll have at the end. No retainers you can't cancel.
Same weekLogins and docs handed over, plus a 30-day "if it breaks I fix it" window. You're never stuck with just me.
Per projectI use AI every day. Claude and Cursor in the editor, ChatGPT for quick research. Not hiding it.
What AI doesn't know: your bookkeeper's setup, or that the card reader sits on the same surge strip as the freezer that kicks every time the front door opens. It also doesn't drive to your shop on a Tuesday.
That's the part you're paying for. AI is a tool on my bench. I'm the person who picks it up and knows when to put it down.
I'm Ashmar. I live in Kodiak and I run Northline out of here. Before this I worked a lot of small-business jobs around the island: front desk at a dental office, back-office for an e-commerce shop, warehouse and restaurant shifts, night security at Providence Kodiak. At a couple of those jobs I was also the one quietly running the database and the website on the side.
What I'm good at is the unglamorous middle of a small business. The customer list nobody's touched since 2019. The five subscriptions doing one job. I like the moment something that used to eat a Tuesday afternoon stops eating it. I'm also the person who actually picks up the phone and follows through, which turns out to be half the job.
(Also runs Lighthouse Cleaning and is building Dory, a local delivery app, under the same umbrella.)
Two builds live. A couple more in progress.

lighthouse.cleaning →Square storefront design for a local food spot. Menu and branding done, online ordering wired up. Up and taking orders.
twisted-trin-munchies.square.site →Usually $800 to $1,800 flat for a small local site. Where you land in that range depends on page count and whether you need booking or payments wired in. You get the exact figure in writing before any work starts. No "we'll see how it goes" billing.
That's most folks. First call is free so we can figure it out before you commit. Sometimes the answer is "you don't need a new site, you need three settings changed." Either way you'll leave with a clearer picture.
Yes, for ongoing care and regular tech help. Month-to-month and cancel anytime. No lock-in.
Perfect. That's most of what I do. Email the weird thing, I'll quote it.
Mostly. Being able to drive to your office is part of the value. But I'll take remote work that fits, especially in other small Alaskan towns.
Email: hello@northline.design. Usually a reply within a few hours, always within one business day. If you need to talk first, say so in the message and I'll send a Cal.com link.
Everything I build is documented and handed off in a form you (or any other developer) can pick up. Your accounts are in your name. Never stuck with just me.
Or annoying, or just the thing nagging you in the back of your mind. First conversation is free. You'll leave with a clearer picture, even if we're not a fit.
