I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with RayPro Roofing & General Contracting, a leading company in roofing and general contracting services, to design and develop a fully customized website. This project centered around creating a seamless user experience, lead generation optimization, and implementing automation features to streamline client interactions.
Project Background
Client Information RayPro Roofing & General Contracting specializes in providing high-quality roofing and general contracting services. The company focuses on delivering reliable solutions that cater to both residential and commercial properties, ensuring their clients receive top-notch service and craftsmanship.
Project Goals The primary objectives for this web design project were to:
- Develop a fully customized website to highlight RayPro’s services.
- Build an efficient lead generation system through service-specific inquiry forms and ebook downloads.
- Implement an email automation system for better client communication and follow-ups.
Key Features and Solutions
1. Custom Service Fields with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) One of the highlights of this project was the creation of Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). RayPro offers a broad range of services under two main categories: Roofing and General Contracting. To showcase these services effectively, I used ACF to build structured, service-specific fields that enable easy updates and clear categorization. This approach allowed RayPro to display detailed service information for each offering, ensuring potential clients can quickly find what they need.
2. Ebook Resource Lead Generation To help RayPro generate more leads, the website features downloadable ebooks as a resource for users. These ebooks provide valuable information related to roofing and general contracting, and I implemented customized forms on each ebook page to capture leads. Users can quickly request a quotation or service by filling out a form before accessing the ebook, ensuring that RayPro collects leads efficiently while offering valuable content.
3. Custom Quotation Request Forms I designed custom forms tailored to RayPro’s individual service pages, making it simple for users to request a quote directly from the relevant service page. These forms were strategically placed to encourage user engagement, ensuring potential clients can submit their requests with minimal effort. This seamless process significantly enhances the chances of converting visitors into leads.
4. Email Automation Integration In addition to lead capture, RayPro wanted to maximize email communication. I implemented email automation to send automated responses for quotation requests and ebook downloads. This automation ensures that every potential client receives immediate follow-up, keeping RayPro top-of-mind for customers as they move through the decision-making process.
Design Process and Timeline
Project Timeline The RayPro website was completed in three weeks, with a structured approach as follows:
- Week 1: Initial consultation, gathering requirements, wireframing, and layout design.
- Week 2: Custom development of the website using ACF, form creation, and service-specific features.
- Week 3: Email automation setup, final design adjustments, testing, and launch.
Customized Design Approach The website design was fully customized to align with RayPro’s brand identity. By focusing on clean visuals, intuitive navigation, and easy access to service information, the website was optimized to ensure a professional look and feel that reflects RayPro’s quality and expertise in their field.
