Industry :

Automotive

Client :

FRJ Auto Repair, Alignment & Tire Shopch

Project Duration :

4 weeks

Overview

FRJ Auto Repair is a family-owned business with two locations serving its local community. The existing website was hosted on a Weebly subdomain and relied on outdated design patterns, generic imagery, and inconsistent content structure.

While the business offered specialized services such as alignments and tire work, the website did not clearly communicate this expertise—making it difficult for users to quickly understand what the shop offered or why they should choose it.

The Problem

The website lacked clarity, structure, and trust signals—making it difficult for users to confidently take action.

Key issues included:

  • Generic value proposition that did not highlight specific expertise

  • Weak SEO foundation limiting visibility for high-intent local searches

  • Cluttered layout with inconsistent typography and poor content hierarchy

  • Important information (hours, location) buried within dense text

  • Lack of visible social proof such as reviews, ratings, or certifications

My Approach

  • Evaluated the existing site to identify gaps in clarity, hierarchy, and user flow

  • Restructured content to highlight core services and local relevance

  • Prioritized high-intent user actions such as booking and contacting

  • Introduced trust signals to support decision-making

  • Designed a mobile-first layout to improve accessibility and usability

Key Improvements

  • Developed a high-conversion homepage with a clear, service-focused value proposition

  • Introduced individual service cards (e.g., Alignment) to improve scannability and understanding

  • Designed a mobile-optimized booking form to reduce friction for users on-the-go

  • Implemented a sticky call-to-action header to keep key actions accessible

  • Integrated Google Maps for quick location access and local context

  • Standardized button styles to guide primary (Book) and secondary (Learn More) actions

  • Established a brand-aligned color system (Professional Navy & Safety Orange) to improve consistency and visual hierarchy

Experience Highlights

Mobile-first layout for local, on-the-go users

  • Clear service breakdown for faster decision-making

  • Stronger visual hierarchy for improved scanning

  • Prominent CTAs to support booking behavior

Outcome

The redesigned experience improves how users understand available services, navigate the site, and take the next step.

By clarifying the value proposition, restructuring content, and introducing trust signals, the new design supports stronger user confidence and creates a more effective path toward booking and contact.

Closing

This project reflects my approach to identifying gaps in clarity and structure, then designing web experiences that guide users more effectively and support real-world business goals.
