Persist before sending
A validated enquiry is saved first. An email delivery problem cannot erase the original project brief.
BUSINESS WEBSITE / RELIABLE ENQUIRIESLive
BWD
A business website backed by dependable delivery.
BWD explains the business problems my company can help solve. This portfolio shows the engineering; the company website turns that work into clear services and a practical starting point for a new project.
The problem
A contact form should produce a useful, recoverable enquiry even when an email transport is unavailable. Content should also explain what a business is commissioning.
The implementation
Laravel validates and persists each enquiry before independently attempting owner notification and customer confirmation. Preflight verifies production delivery configuration before deployment.
- Service positioning and outcome-led project case studies
- Structured project enquiries saved before email delivery
- Production readiness checks and a shared BWD attribution component

02 / ENGINEERING DECISIONS
Where the details matter.
Notification attempts are independent
Owner notification and customer acknowledgement have separate failure handling. One transport failure does not prevent the other attempt.
Check the release environment
Preflight connects common Vapor checks to a business-specific enquiry delivery check. Runtime secrets remain in the deployment environment.
03 / PACKAGES & CODE
Inside the implementation.
Preflight handles reusable release checks; the enquiry pipeline is application code. The repeated receipt-and-notification pattern is a candidate for a future package.
APPLICATION EXCERPT
Registered deployment checks
EnquiryDelivery implements the package Check contract and verifies the configured logging, recipient and mail transport.
Preflight package ↗use App\Checks\EnquiryDelivery;
return [
'require_shared_state' => true,
'vapor_limits' => ['concurrency' => 5, 'cli-concurrency' => 2, 'warm' => 0, 'memory' => 512],
'checks' => [EnquiryDelivery::class],

APPLICATION EXCERPT
Durable inquiry before notification
Exact custom application code; not a MrNewport package call. The controller catches owner/confirmation transport failures separately after storing the lead.
$data = $request->validated();
$lead = Lead::create([
'name' => $data['name'], 'company' => $data['company'] ?? null, 'email' => $data['email'],
'phone' => $data['phone'] ?? '', 'contact_method' => $data['contact_method'],
'comments' => $data['message'], 'subject' => 'Website enquiry',
'options' => ['service' => $data['service'], 'timeline' => $data['timeline'] ?? null],
]);Source excerpt · e05e4de · lines 19–25. Surrounding setup is omitted.
APPLICATION EXCERPT
One shared attribution component
The site keeps its own copyright. SiteCredit adds the standard BWD attribution after it, using isolated styles bundled with the application.
SiteCredit package ↗<x-site-credit />Actual component call. The shared stylesheet is included separately in the application build.
04 / VERIFICATION & CURRENT SCOPE
What holds it together.
- Feature tests fake mail and verify persisted enquiries and delivery-failure handling.
- Production checks validate delivery settings and bounded Vapor configuration.
- The company’s own copyright remains above the shared BWD credit.
CURRENT RELEASE
Live business website. Enquiries are stored before notification attempts; mail transport acceptance does not prove inbox delivery.
