About

Built by someone who uses what they build.

Juhriah Web Solutions is a Columbus, Ohio web development and hosting business. Every site in the portfolio is a real production site — not a demo, not a mockup.

Who I Am

I’m Juhriah Smith, a Columbus-based web developer and the owner of iSpec LLC — a licensed general contracting company that’s been building in Columbus since 2016. I built juhriah.com because I needed real web infrastructure for iSpec: a main site that generates leads, funnel sites that rank for local searches, and a hosting setup I control.

Everything in this portfolio came out of that process. The lead scoring system, the multi-domain funnel strategy, the PHP handlers — all of it was built for iSpec first and refined through real use. What works for a Columbus contractor works for most local service businesses.

I build on Bootstrap 4, PHP, and CodeIgniter 4. No page builders. No WordPress unless a client specifically needs it. Hand-coded, deployed to cPanel, and built to last without monthly plugin updates breaking things.

Columbus is home. Every client is local or working with someone local. If you’re a Columbus small business that needs a site that actually generates leads — not just looks good in a browser — that’s what I build.

How I Work

A few things I believe about web development that shape how every project gets built.

Sites should generate leads, not just exist

A site without a lead capture system is a brochure. Every site I build has a working contact form, a PHP handler, and at minimum a basic scoring system so you know which inquiries are worth prioritizing.

Local SEO is a multi-domain game

One site rarely dominates all the search terms that matter. A main site plus two or three funnel domains targeting specific queries can capture far more search intent than any single domain.

Hand-coded beats templated every time

WordPress plugins slow sites down, break on updates, and bloat the codebase. Bootstrap + PHP loads fast, runs clean, and you control everything. I’ll use WordPress if a client truly needs it, but it’s never the default.

Hosting should be owned, not rented from someone else

Shared hosting resellers put you in control of your clients’ uptime, not a third party. cPanel/WHM reseller hosting means I manage the infrastructure, handle the support, and clients deal with one person.

iSpec LLC

Juhriah Web Solutions grew out of building web infrastructure for iSpec LLC — a Columbus general contracting company founded in 2016. iSpec is MBE and EDGE certified, licensed under Columbus HIC #HIC02450, and ranked in the top 3% of 52,717 Ohio contractors on BuildZoom.

The iSpec site ecosystem — main site plus three funnel domains — is the primary portfolio of this work. All four sites are live, all are indexed by Google, and all generate real leads through the same PHP scoring and routing system.
