Full-Service Website Development for a Multi-Generational Transportation Company
Jacoby Transportation, Inc. is a fourth-generation, family-owned school transportation company based in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Founded in the early 1960s, the business has built long-standing relationships with local school districts through a commitment to reliability, trust, and service.
Since partnering with MAjor Designs, the goal has been to create and maintain a digital presence that supports both their operations and continued growth.
Designing and Hosting a Custom WordPress Website
MAjor Designs designed, developed, and currently hosts the JacobyTransportation.com website.
The site provides a professional online presence for the company while remaining flexible enough to support ongoing updates and new initiatives as the business evolves.
With hosting handled through MAjor Designs, the website benefits from:
- SolidWP security integration
- 24/7 uptime monitoring using in-house tools
- Reliable performance and ongoing maintenance
Building a Custom Employee Portal with Paychex API Integration
One of the more advanced features of this project is a custom-built employee portal integrated directly with Paychex APIs.
This system allows employees to securely log in and access paycheck data without needing to navigate external systems. Key functionality includes:
- Secure employee access
- Real-time paycheck data pulled via API
- Streamlined internal communication and usability
This custom solution improves accessibility for employees while reducing administrative overhead.
Supporting Business Growth with Design and Marketing Assets
Beyond web development, MAjor Designs has supported Jacoby Transportation with additional marketing efforts, including billboard design campaigns used throughout York and Adams County. These campaigns were focused on recruitment, helping the company attract new drivers and staff in a competitive hiring market.
Expanding Services with New Business Initiatives
As the company continues to grow, their website has evolved alongside them. Recent additions include:
- A dedicated page for Jacoby’s Auto Center, supporting their expansion into vehicle services
- An internal employee gift shop, built using WooCommerce and integrated with Square for payment processing
The success of the internal store has led to the development of a new public-facing eCommerce website, Jacoby’s Gift Shop, which is currently in progress.
Providing Ongoing Development Through a Retainer Model
Due to the frequency of updates and new feature requests, Jacoby Transportation operates on a monthly development retainer. This includes:
- Prepaid development hours at a reduced rate
- Priority support for updates and enhancements
- Ongoing collaboration as new ideas and needs arise
This model ensures the website continues to grow alongside the business without delays.
A Long-Term Partnership Focused on Reliability and Growth
MAjor Designs routinely supports Jacoby Transportation with updates to their website, employee portal, and new business initiatives.
This project represents a true long-term partnership—providing not just a website, but a flexible system that adapts to the needs of a growing business.
Supporting Businesses with Scalable, Real-World Web Solutions
From custom API integrations to eCommerce and marketing support, this project highlights how MAjor Designs helps businesses go beyond a basic website.
By building systems that support operations, employees, and growth, Jacoby Transportation has a digital foundation that continues to evolve with them.
