SHT-01Elevation · front door

The website is the front door. This one opens into the building.

Most sites end at a contact form and an inbox, which means every lead waits for a person to notice it. Ours end inside the system: the enquiry arrives as a record, with its source attached, on the board the business already works from.

SHT-02Detail A · the handoff

The form does not email you. It writes a row.

On the system we built for a car brokerage, the public site and the CRM are one deployment. Somebody fills in the form on the marketing site and the lead lands as a record with its source attached, on the same pipeline the brokers already work, no forwarding, no copy-paste, no message sitting unread under a receipt.

  • Lead arrives as a record, not a notification
  • Source captured on the row itself
  • Public site and CRM in one deployment
  • Follow-up starts from the record
  • Proof

SHT-03Detail B · build spec

What is actually in the drawing.

None of this is exotic. It is the set of things a site has to get right before design is worth arguing about, and the set most cheap builds skip because nobody checks.

B1

Mobile first, because that is where the call button is

The layout is designed at phone width and grown from there, not shrunk down afterwards. On a trade site most of the traffic is somebody standing in the problem, holding a phone, looking for a number to tap.

B2

Technical SEO, the unglamorous half

A title and description written per page rather than generated, canonical URLs so two addresses do not compete with each other, a sitemap the build keeps up to date, structured data describing the business, and images sized so the page is not waiting on them.

B3

Local SEO that names real places

Service and city pages for the areas the business actually covers, the same name, address and phone everywhere they appear, and business schema so a search engine is told what this is and where, instead of guessing from the footer.

B4

Copy written from the trade, not from a template

What the work costs, what happens on the first visit, what a licence number means, which brands are carried. The specifics are the part a competitor cannot copy, and they are also the part an AI summary quotes.

B5

Two languages where the market has two

In South Florida a bilingual site is not a nicety. Where a business serves both markets, the site is built to serve both, with the language switch on every route rather than a single translated page.

B6

Yours at the end of it

Your domain, your repository, your analytics. If you stop working with us nothing switches off, and the next developer inherits a normal codebase rather than a proprietary builder.

SHT-04Assembly sequence

10 to 14 days, with the scope locked before it starts.

The date is only honest if the scope is. Everything is priced and written down before the first line of code, and anything added later is re-quoted rather than quietly absorbed into the same deadline.

  1. Step 1

    Audit

    A look at where the enquiries actually leak: the form nobody answers, the page that loads slowly on a phone, the number that is not tappable.

  2. Step 2

    Draw

    Structure, copy skeleton, and the lead flow agreed in writing. This is the step where changes are cheap, so it is the step that gets the arguing.

  3. Step 3

    Build

    Built and reviewed on a live preview link, on a real phone, not in a slide deck. You click the thing rather than approve a picture of it.

  4. Step 4

    Live

    Domain, analytics, search console, sitemap submitted, and the lead route tested by actually submitting the form and watching where it lands.

SHT-05Index · by trade

Ten trades, already drawn.

Each of these is a page about what the site has to do for that trade specifically, what the visitor is looking for, and what the owner needs to happen when they find it.

SHT-06General notes

Before you ask.

What does it cost?
It depends on how many pages and how much of the system is wired in, so the honest answer is on its own page rather than in a headline. The cost guide walks through what actually drives the number in Florida.Read the cost guide
Do I need the CRM as well?
No. Plenty of people start with the site alone. It is built so the system bolts on later rather than replacing what you already paid for, which is why the lead route is designed on day one even when there is nothing on the other end of it yet.See the system
Can the site answer the phone too?
That is the agent side, and it lives on its own sheet. The site and the agent feed the same record, which is the only reason either is worth much.See the agents
Can I see one before I commit?
Yes. There are live builds on subdomains you can open on your phone and use like a customer would, fill in the form, tap the number, read the copy.See the work
