The problem

What problem did Autocrat Motors have?

Autocrat Motors looked nothing online like it did in person, and every change to the site meant waiting on someone else.

A dated, generic website undersold premium stock. Each update was slow and cost the dealership time and money every month.

The build

What did Social Agencies build for Autocrat Motors?

  • A premium storefront

    A dark, premium design built to earn trust on a high-value purchase.

  • A self-serve stock portal

    The owner adds and edits his own cars, with no emails asking someone to change a price.

  • Image uploads

    Photographs uploaded straight from the portal onto the car's page.

  • Custom back end and hosting

    Built and hosted for Autocrat, not rented from a template platform.

The result

What changed for Autocrat Motors?

Autocrat Motors now owns and runs its own showroom online, and stock goes up the moment it lands.

The brand online now matches the quality of the cars, and the owner is never waiting on Social Agencies to keep the site current.
