They didn't need a website. They needed to run the business.

Out of Elkhart, Indiana — the heart of the American RV industry — Auto Elite builds and sells luxury Mercedes-Benz Sprinter conversions: high-value, one-of-a-kind vehicles where every listing carries serious specs, serious photography, and a serious price tag. Their inventory changes constantly, and a brochure website was never going to keep up.

They needed to manage that inventory themselves — add a van, photograph it, price it, mark it sold — without calling a developer or paying a third-party dealer platform every month. And none of it matters if buyers can't find them, so visibility on Google had to be part of the deal from day one.

A custom inventory system at admin.autoelite.com

So we built them one. Auto Elite runs on a custom inventory management system we designed from scratch on Cloudflare Workers — no WordPress, no plugins, no monthly dealer-software bill. From a single password-protected dashboard the team can add, edit, and retire vehicles, with every change written to an audit log.

The photo manager is the part owners love: drag-and-drop reordering, and images converted to optimized 600w + 1200w WebP right in the browser before they ever upload — so the site stays fast and the originals never leave their computer. A clean pending → available → sold workflow, VIN and stock-number search, and a one-click publish push the live site instantly. Incoming leads are captured and exportable to CSV.

SERP management put Auto Elite at the top of search — not just for their own name, but for the broad, high-volume terms buyers actually type:
