React site and email rescue, 2026
Iron Crown: the website was the easy part.
A hand-coded React site for a veteran-owned Texas notary practice, and the rescue of an email setup that was silently losing every enquiry she had.
What she needed
Iron Crown Notary serves attorneys, estate planners and families across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The owner needed a site credible enough for law firms to trust, with her services, credentials, FAQs on Texas notary law, and a clear way to request her.
Then the real problem surfaced. She wasn't receiving email at all. Her contact form showed visitors a polite success message and delivered nothing. Every enquiry the site generated was disappearing without anyone knowing.
What I built, and what I fixed
The site itself is written in React and TypeScript. Fast, precise, and structured around the services her clients actually search for, from estate signings to apostille facilitation.
The email rescue was the bigger job. Her mailboxes were stranded on a half-configured tenant nobody could sign into. I recovered access to both, set Microsoft 365 up properly on her domain, connected the MX, SPF and verification records through her Namecheap account, and then tested relentlessly, until both her regular email and every form submission delivered reliably to her inbox.
What I checked before calling it done
- A form that says “sent” has to mean it. I submitted the live form myself and watched each message arrive.
- Business email on her own domain, owned by her and recoverable by her.
- DNS done properly at the registrar. MX, SPF and domain verification, documented so it stays fixed.
- Domain, deployment and ongoing changes handled alongside the build.
Where it ended up
Both mailboxes deliver. The enquiry form has been verified end to end, and the site is live at ironcrownnotary.com with the domain, DNS and hosting all in her name.
