Project Overview

Hitchcock Contracting & Resurfacing (HCR) is a leading provider of resurfacing, repair, and maintenance services for commercial and residential properties. They needed a professional, conversion-driven website to showcase their expertise, attract new clients, and streamline customer inquiries.
I led the UX design, web development, and branding strategy, crafting a highly functional and visually compelling digital presence that establishes trust, enhances engagement, and simplifies service bookings.
Role & Responsibilities:
UX/UI Design & Information Architecture
Branding & Visual Identity
SEO & Performance Optimization
Contact & Lead Generation System Integration
Responsive Web Development
