Private website brief · Overton, Texas · 30 Oct 2026

You build it straight.
Your website doesn't.

Nine pages, two phone numbers, zero forms. Randy Smith's Carports & More builds carports, cabins and barns across East Texas — and sells tree care, seal coat, asphalt and crushed concrete besides. The website tells a narrower story than the yard does.

Next · the audit

01 / Site audit

Nine pages.
One broken funnel.

Every count below was taken on the public site on 30 October 2026, signed out, at 1440×900 and 390×844. This is not a review of the craft. It is what the page actually does.

Live homepage of Randy Smith's Carports & More at 1440 wide: a shed photograph with a Contact Us section directly beneath it. H1 · “Contact Us” 106 requests · one 404

The live homepage at 1440 wide: a shed hero, then Contact Us as the first section — the page’s only <h1>.

Critical

Zero forms. Nine pages.

Every enquiry ends at a phone link or a Gmail address. No quote request, no build sheet, no callback capture, no way to ask a question at 11 PM.

SOURCE · <form> count = 0 across all 9 pages

High

Six models, one link

All six building cards point to the same off-site configurator. To see a price, the buyer leaves the site — and there is no page to come back to.

SOURCE · /buildings · 6 anchors, 1 unique URL

High

16 of 37 images have no alt text

Nine of them sit on Carports/Sheds — the page most likely to be surfaced for exactly what you sell.

SOURCE · empty alt attributes, sitewide

High

The home page’s only H1 says “Contact Us”

The page that should rank for carports never names a carport in a heading. The carport promise lives in a meta description.

SOURCE · home DOM · h1 count = 1

Medium

Two numbers, five links, three formats

Including tel:+1(903) 315-8102 — malformed, so some phones will not dial it. Nothing says which line is the primary.

The FAQ contradicts the catalog

FAQ: sheds “up to 12 feet wide and 20 feet long.” Buildings: cabins listed to 16×60. A buyer cannot tell which is true.

02 / The gap

They decide in the driveway.
You’re not there.

Four people already recommend this business — 100%. That proof starts 2,194 px below the top of the homepage — after a 765 px hero, a 657 px contact block and 772 px of feature copy. The model they came for never appears.

Illustrative customer path. The distances and the recommendation are observed; the late-night scenario is not a transcript.

03 / The new front door

The front door.
Actually open.

One page that holds the whole yard: carports and cabins first, then tree care, seal coat, asphalt and crushed concrete. Working tabs, a real model index, and a build sheet that leaves with their choices.

Illustrative concept · not live

The concept is HTML, not a screenshot — tabs, filter and phone view work.

Specs and service copy from the public site · the primary line is a design choice to confirm

04 / The system

Six pieces.
One yard.

Not a brochure. A working front office for six product lines.

The Randy Smith's Tree Care sign at the yard.
The sign already sells tree care in one glance. Online, it is the fifth item in a dropdown.
01

Front door

A homepage that indexes all six lines on one screen: carports, cabins, barns, tree care, seal coat, materials.

Outcome · every line is one click from the top

02

Model pages

Six models, six pages. Real specs, real size ranges, the client’s own photos, one next step on each.

Outcome · six pages, not one external link

03

Local search

Overton and the East Texas towns you actually serve — confirmed with you, not guessed. Location page and model-plus-size queries.

Outcome · a page for “carport, Overton TX”

04

Build sheet

Model, size, site, timeline. Delivered as an email you can answer from the truck; phone and text stay one tap away.

Outcome · a named lead, not a missed call

05

Proof

The four recommendations, the family story and the installs — structured and visible, not buried under the contact block.

Outcome · proof above the fold, not 2,194 px down

06

Growth partner

Monthly: photograph the builds, publish two project stories, ask for the review while the yard is still clean, run the seasonal seal-coat window.

Outcome · the site ages forward

Six pillars. Scope, not decoration — each ships with a named deliverable.

Nothing here is priced before the scope call

05 / The catalog

Six models.
Six reasons to stay.

Every spec below is copied from the public Buildings page. The concept makes them selectable: pick a model, read the real dimensions, then carry it into a build sheet without leaving the site.

The Studio model: a white building with black-trimmed windows and a door.
Studio · client photo

Available 8×12 – 12×32

Studio

  • Monoslope roof with 8″ eaves
  • Two 3×4 thermal windows
  • One 9-lite door
  • 12″×48″ transom windows across the front wall
  • 29-gauge metal roof
  • 117″ front wall / 96″ back wall

Specs observed on /buildings, 30 Oct 2026. No prices are shown because none are published — the build sheet asks for the model and size.

Today all six cards send a buyer to one third-party configurator. Nothing comes back with them.

Six models · six photos · one page each

06 / The roadmap

Three days of structure.
Seven days of build.

A small site, shipped in a week, then maintained. No six-month discovery phase for a business that already knows what it sells.

Days 1–3

Structure

  • One page per model, with sizes and specs from your sheet
  • Homepage index for all six lines
  • One primary phone, one text line, one email
  • Alt text, headings, metadata, LocalBusiness schema
  • Redirect map, so every current page address keeps working
  • Build-sheet fields agreed in writing

Owner · Brandcore, with Randy & Amy on content

Days 4–7

Build

  • The working site on your domain
  • Mobile-first, tested on real phones
  • Build-sheet email routed to you
  • Call and text tracking
  • Analytics and a plain-language dashboard
  • Speed, accessibility and QA pass

Owner · Brandcore. Approval · Randy & Amy, day 7.

Days 8–60

Proof

  • Photograph every install before it leaves the lot
  • Two project stories a month
  • Review request after each handoff
  • Seasonal seal-coat page before summer
  • Quarterly look at what is actually being searched
  • Fix what the data says is broken

Owner · Brandcore, with your crew on photos

What we need from you before day one

  • Price sheet — or a written “quote on request”
  • The towns you actually serve
  • Which number is primary
  • 10 install photos with model names
  • Domain and DNS access

Launch day is day 7. Everything after that is maintenance, not another rebuild.

No open-ended “ongoing optimization”

07 / The engagement

Three ways in.
One fixed fee.

Pick the level of the yard you want fixed. Scope is written before work starts, and the quote is fixed after a 20-minute call.

Level 01

The Front Door

The homepage and the six models. The fastest path from search to build sheet.

  • Homepage index
  • Six model pages
  • Build-sheet form and routing
  • Phone and text unification
  • Photo direction for the lot
  • Launch QA

Level 02 · recommended

The Yard

The front door plus the rest of the business — tree care, seal coat, materials and proof.

  • Everything in The Front Door
  • Three service pages: tree care, seal coat, asphalt and concrete
  • Local search foundation
  • Review engine
  • 60 days of content
  • Monthly report, plain language

Level 03

The Partner

The yard, maintained. For the season after launch, when the work is keeping it current.

  • Everything in The Yard
  • Monthly install photography
  • Two project stories a month
  • Seasonal campaigns
  • Quarterly strategy session
  • Priority turnaround

Fixed-fee quote after a 20-minute scope call. No invented packages, no hourly surprises, no retainer before launch. If a line does not earn its place, we cut it.

One page, six models, three service pages, one phone number — scoped in writing.

No prices are published until the scope is agreed
