The situation

A focused service website the business can manage.

People who search for emergency restoration want help now. Someone with water damage is not browsing. The site has to state the service, show that the business is local and real, and put the phone number within reach. The business has no technical staff, so the site also has to be easy to edit.

What we built

The parts that do the work

01 / 03

Clear service content

The restoration offering and contact routes are stated directly, without a marketing preamble between the visitor and the phone number.

02 / 03

Custom frontend

A hand-coded layout built for this service rather than adapted from a general-purpose theme.

03 / 03

Editable operation

The frontend was converted into a custom WordPress theme so the business can edit content through a familiar dashboard.

How it came together

From the brief to what changed after

01
Approach
The portfolio describes a hand-coded frontend converted into a custom WordPress theme. The business edits the pages from the WordPress dashboard.

4. 04Team response
02
The stack, and why
WordPress and PHP with a hand-built frontend in HTML and CSS. Hand-coding first and converting to a theme afterwards keeps the markup small, which matters because some visitors arrive on mobile networks during an emergency.
03
After launch
The business edits its own content. The theme carries the layout, so editing text cannot break the page structure.
