WEBSITE + GROWTH PROPOSAL LA JOLLA, CALIFORNIA

A showroom this considered deserves a better front door.

Nine collections, one Girard Avenue showroom, and a website that should make both impossible to miss. This is the path from the first photograph to the visit.

01 / SITE AUDIT LAVISH-BATH.COM REVIEWED 10.30.26

Nine collections.
One dead end.

We reviewed lavish-bath.com the way a La Jolla buyer would — on a phone, at night, deciding whether the drive to Girard Avenue is worth it. Six issues make that decision harder than it should be.

    The Contact page embeds Google Maps over http:// inside an HTTPS page. In the live capture, the driving-directions box is an empty rectangle.

    The product trail ends at a thumbnail.

    HIGH

    Nine categories open into thumbnail galleries; Bathtubs alone runs four pages with a lone “Next Page” button. No product detail, finish note or inquiry path.

    The latest news is 2014.

    HIGH

    The homepage still promotes three announcements from September 30–November 6, 2014. The page metadata says it was last updated 10/20/2012.

    A desktop layout on a 390px phone.

    HIGH

    None of the eight pages carries a viewport meta tag. On a phone the desktop canvas is simply scaled down, so the navigation and body copy shrink with it.

    Search snippets are told nothing.

    MEDIUM

    Homepage and Products descriptions are a single space. Ten of the thirteen images in the Bathtubs gallery have no alt text.

02 / THE GAP THE SATURDAY MORNING SEARCH

At 9:12 on a Saturday,
the visit is decided.

A renovation is rarely an impulse buy. Someone is comparing a freestanding tub, a faucet finish and a drive down Girard Avenue. Your site gets one chance to connect those three. Today it takes six steps. It should take three.

✕ TODAY · SIX STEPS TO A DEAD END
01
Search “luxury bath showroom La Jolla.”A thin snippet. No viewport tag behind it.
02
Land on the 2012-era homepage.A 21-image rotator and three news items from 2014.
03
Click “Products” to find /design/.Nine category thumbnails, plus a duplicate side list.
04
Open Bathtubs: four pages.Only “Next Page.” No page numbers, no filters.
05
Enlarge a photo.A lightbox image. No name, finish, dimension or inquiry.
06
Try Contact.Plain-text phone, obfuscated email, blank map.
✓ THE FLAGSHIP · THREE STEPS
01
Land in a room.One showroom photograph, one editorial line, nine clear collections.
02
Open the collection that fits.See the category, the kind of pieces and a visible path to the showroom.
03
Call or plan the visit.Hours, address and a tap-to-call button in the same view.
THE RESULT From photograph to Girard Avenue without leaving the path.

03 / THE FLAGSHIP CONCEPT 01 LAVISH-BATH.COM

A front door worthy
of the collection.

Room-first, not gallery-first. Nine collections, the Girard Avenue showroom and one obvious next step in one responsive site.

INTERACTIVE CONCEPT — CLICK THE TABS
01
A room, not a slideshow.

Lead with the showroom and one editorial line. The 21-image rotator becomes a deliberate first frame.

02
Nine collections, one system.

Bathtubs through accessories, each with a clear route to “see it in person” instead of a lightbox dead end.

03
The visit is the conversion.

Hours, address, tap-to-call and directions sit beside the collection — not four pages away.

WHAT CHANGES
  • 21-image rotator → one showroom frame
  • Lightbox dead end → collection detail
  • Plain-text phone → tap-to-call
THE ONE-SCREEN TEST

Can a buyer see the showroom, name a collection and call — without leaving the first screen?

04 / THE SYSTEM WHAT BRANDCORE BUILDS

Six systems.
One showroom standard.

The whole front door — not a homepage with a phone number taped to it. Each piece is built to be maintained, measured and improved after launch.

01

Showroom website

A custom, fast, mobile-first site that looks like the room it represents — not a theme with a logo dropped in.

  • Custom design system
  • Responsive build
  • Speed & accessibility pass
FIRST IMPRESSION AT SHOWROOM STANDARD
02

Collection architecture

Nine categories, room-led landing pages and a product template that can grow with the inventory you carry.

  • Nine category pages
  • Product detail template
  • Room-board browsing
BROWSE WITHOUT A DEAD END
03

Local discovery

La Jolla and San Diego search foundations, consistent hours and address, and a Google Business Profile that matches the site.

  • Local landing pages
  • Google Business Profile
  • Hours & address schema
FOUND BY THE RIGHT LOCAL BUYER
04

Editorial library

Project stories, material notes and designer resources that give the showroom something worth publishing.

  • Project story template
  • Material notes
  • Designer resource page
A REASON TO RETURN
05

Inquiry & reputation

Tap-to-call, visit requests and a review-capture habit built into the moment after a showroom visit.

  • Tap-to-call & visit request
  • Review capture flow
  • Inquiry routing
MORE CONVERSATIONS, LESS GUESSWORK
06

Growth partner

Monthly care, analytics and seasonal campaigns after launch — with a named owner and a review on the calendar.

  • Monthly care
  • Analytics review
  • Seasonal campaigns
A SITE THAT KEEPS IMPROVING
ONE SYSTEM

The website, collections, local presence and follow-up share one content model — and one named owner.

Scope is tailored after the audit walkthrough. No service is presented as already engaged. 05 / 09
05 / THE PROOF UNITED FACILITIES GROUP BRANDCORE DESIGN

A clearer front door,
in practice.

United Facilities Group came to Brandcore with a dense legacy site. The redesign led with the service, made the quote path obvious and moved the phone number where a buyer could use it. The same discipline applies to a bath showroom.

01
Lead with the service.

One confident statement replaces the clip-art carousel and the wall of body copy.

02
Make the next step visible.

A named quote action and a tap-friendly phone line, not a phone number lost in the header.

03
Leave room to grow.

A system that can carry new services, locations and proof without a redesign.

TRANSLATED TO LAVISH

One showroom photograph. Nine real collection doors. The phone number in the first view.

THE POINT

Lavish does not need a louder website. It needs a clearer path from the collection photograph to the showroom door.
