From Outdated to Organized

The original website lacked visual consistency, intuitive navigation, and a cohesive layout. Information was scattered, and the interface didn’t reflect the quality of the company’s work. The challenge was to modernize the structure, refine the brand tone, and create a responsive design system that made services, contact details, and testimonials easy to find—especially for users on mobile.

Designing for Clarity and Craftsmanship

I rebuilt the website from the ground up using HTML and CSS in Glitch, focusing on clean alignment, simplified grids, and visual flow. The color palette drew inspiration from the brand’s existing orange and beige tones, balanced with bold typography and custom service icons to create rhythm and recognition. Each page was designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring fast load times and seamless responsiveness across devices.
