Project Overview

A modern homepage redesign for a local business to improve clarity, mobile UX, and overall brand presence. The client needed a site that felt professional and trustworthy — one that would actually convert visitors into customers instead of bouncing them.

02Challenge

The Problem

The existing website had several critical issues that were actively hurting the business:

Outdated layout that felt stuck in 2015 — no visual hierarchy or clear user flow
Poor mobile experience with broken layouts, tiny tap targets, and horizontal scrolling
Weak messaging that didn't communicate the business's value proposition
Slow performance with an 8-second load time and a Lighthouse score of 42
03Approach

The Solution

I rebuilt the homepage from scratch with a focus on clarity, speed, and conversion:

Clean, editorial UI with intentional whitespace and visual breathing room
Strong typography system using a display serif + clean sans-serif pairing
Clear hero section with a focused headline, supporting copy, and a single strong CTA
Faster load times — brought Lighthouse performance from 42 to 98
Improved information architecture with logical content flow and clear navigation
