⚠️ The Challenge

A well-established painting and wallpaper business in Champaign, Illinois had built a strong reputation for quality work over decades. But their online presence wasn't doing them any favors. He said he had a business card online and and was paying too much for it.

The problems:

  • Just a "business card" online - A basic, bare-bones website that did nothing to showcase their expertise or attract new business
  • Overpaying dramatically - Spending $200/month ($2,400/year) for a site that wasn't bringing in commercial work
  • No portfolio showcase - Despite having excellent work to display, there was no way to show potential clients their projects
  • Commercial painting invisible - The site didn't highlight their commercial painting services at all, missing a huge revenue opportunity

✨ What We Built

We created a professional website that showcases their expertise and positions them to capture commercial painting contracts.

Key improvements:

  • Project gallery with before/after sliders - Interactive photo comparisons that demonstrate the quality of their work
  • 4 dedicated commercial service pages - Ready to launch when they start advertising to commercial clients
  • Professional portfolio presentation - High-quality project photos organized by service type
  • Clear service descriptions - Detailed explanations of residential and commercial offerings
  • Mobile-responsive design - Perfect viewing experience on all devices
  • Fast loading times - Optimized images and code for quick performance
  • Easy-to-update gallery - Client can add new projects as they complete them
