Case studiesSmall business web
Ferguson Brothers Cards needed an online presence that matched the brand on their storefront and packaging. Proxy IT built fbcards.net: a site that keeps itself current from their eBay listings and event calendar, and that the owners run from a secure admin console without touching code.
eBay figures are the shop's own, as displayed on fbcards.net.
Ferguson Brothers Cards is a family shop in Houston for sports cards, Pokémon, One Piece, Magic and Warhammer. Their identity was already set: a bold shield logo and a "rip it, trade it, collect it" attitude across their printed materials.
Online, their inventory lived on eBay and their events lived on social media. A typical small-business website would have meant updating stock and events by hand, or paying someone every time something changed.
The shop keeps doing what it already does, listing on eBay and planning events, and the website follows along.
"Featured pulls" come straight from the shop's own eBay listings, with photos, prices and a direct "Buy on eBay" link. When a listing changes on eBay, the site follows.
The site pulls the shop's social media event calendar and fills in the page on its own: a "Coming up" list on the homepage and a full monthly calendar.
The shield logo, colors and attitude from the store and the printed materials carry through every page, so the site feels like walking into the shop.
Everything the site needs lives in one place at /admin, behind a secure login.
The owners rearrange sections, add new ones and edit what's there from a simple console, not a code editor.
The information the site depends on is managed from the console, so a change takes minutes instead of a support ticket.
Only approved people can reach /admin. They sign in through Cloudflare Access with a one-time login code, before the console ever loads.
The admin and data endpoints are excluded from search engines, so only the public site gets indexed.

No new system to learn: the site connects to what Ferguson Brothers Cards already uses every day.
The shop lists cards on eBay as it always has.
Events are planned and posted where customers already follow along.
The owners arrange and update everything else, securely, without code.
One fast site, served from Cloudflare's network, that's always current.
Not a brochure that goes stale, but a storefront that runs itself.
The same identity customers know from the shop, now online.
Inventory and events update from the tools the shop already uses.
A no-code admin console means changes don't wait on a developer.
Admin access protected by Cloudflare, with nothing to patch on a public login page.
Let's build you a site that keeps itself current and that you can manage yourself. No pitch, just a conversation.
