๐ง Project Overview
Best Grand Electric is a local electrical services company serving Grand County and surrounding areas, offering residential, commercial, and specialty electrical services. The primary goal of this project was to design a high-trust, lead-generation website that converts local visitors into phone calls and service requests.
I handled the entire website design process end-to-end, including:
UX strategy for local service conversions
Visual design and brand clarity
Lead-focused page layout and CTA strategy
Trust-building content structure
Mobile-first and responsive design
The final result is a clean, professional, and conversion-optimized local service website designed to turn visits into calls ๐

๐ Discovery & Local Market Research
Local service websites behave very differently from ecommerce or SaaS platforms.
During discovery, I focused on:
How users search for electricians in urgent situations
What builds trust in local service providers
Local SEO structure and service-area clarity
Reducing friction between intent and action
๐ Key Insight:
Local customers donโt want to browse โ they want fast reassurance and an easy way to call. The website needed to prioritize clarity, safety, and immediacy.
๐งฉ UX Strategy & Information Architecture
The UX was structured around a call-first conversion journey:
Trust โ Services โ Proof โ Call
UX Strategy Highlights:
Strong headline communicating trust and locality
Prominent โCall Nowโ CTAs above the fold
Clear service breakdown for quick scanning
Visual emphasis on experience and reliability
Service-area visibility to reinforce local relevance
Every section was designed to answer:
โCan I trust this electrician to handle my job safely?โ
๐จ Visual Design & Brand Direction
The visual identity needed to feel:
โก Professional
๐ ๏ธ Reliable
๐ง Clear & direct
๐ก Highly visible
Design System Decisions:
High-contrast color palette for visibility and urgency
Clean typography for fast readability
Real service imagery to build authenticity
Structured card layouts for services
Minimal distractions to keep focus on conversion
The design reinforces safety, reliability, and local commitment โ critical for electrical services.
๐ Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
CRO was the core focus of the entire design.
CRO Techniques Implemented:
โ Call-to-action buttons placed at every decision point
โ Phone number visibility in header and footer
โ Trust indicators (experience, local focus, reliability)
โ Service cards designed for quick understanding
โ Clear service-area coverage to reduce hesitation
โ Strong final CTA reinforcing urgency
The site is built to convert intent into immediate action, especially for mobile users.
๐ Local SEO & Service Area Optimization
The layout was designed with local SEO best practices in mind:
Clear service area sections
City and location mentions placed naturally
Structured service listings for search engines
Content hierarchy optimized for local intent searches
This provides a strong foundation for local search visibility without keyword stuffing.
๐ฑ Mobile-First & Responsive Design
Most local service searches happen on mobile ๐ฑ
The website was designed mobile-first, ensuring:
Large, tap-friendly call buttons
Easy scrolling and fast comprehension

๐ Measurable Outcomes & Performance Impact
While this project focused heavily on trust and lead conversion, the structure was intentionally designed to support measurable performance improvements:
Increased click-to-call engagement due to persistent CTAs
Faster decision-making through simplified service presentation
Reduced bounce rate by eliminating unnecessary navigation friction
Improved mobile engagement with thumb-friendly call actions
Stronger local relevance through visible service-area messaging
The website now functions as a 24/7 lead-generation asset, not just a digital brochure.
๐ง Key UX & CRO Learnings
This project reinforced several important principles specific to local service UX design:
Urgency beats aesthetics in service-based industries
Users value clarity and reassurance more than animations or trends
One primary conversion goal (Call Now) outperforms multiple CTAs
Trust signals must appear before users scroll for details
Mobile users expect immediate access to contact actions
These insights directly informed layout decisions across the site.
๐ฑ Accessibility & Usability Considerations
Accessibility and usability were considered throughout the design process:
High-contrast color combinations for readability
Large tap targets for mobile users
Clear typography hierarchy for fast scanning
Minimal cognitive load during high-stress user scenarios
Consistent button labeling and iconography
This ensures the site remains usable across age groups, devices, and urgency levels.
๐งฑ Design System & Scalability
The design was built using a component-based structure, making it easy to:
Add new services without redesigning layouts
Create dedicated landing pages for additional service areas
Expand into emergency services or seasonal offerings
Maintain brand consistency across future updates
This approach allows the business to scale digitally without redesign costs.
๐ง Technical & Implementation Readiness
The UI and layout were designed with real-world development constraints in mind, including:
Clean sectioning for fast load times
Image-first layouts optimized for compression
Simple grid structures for CMS compatibility
CTA components reusable across pages
SEO-friendly content hierarchy
This reduces friction during development and future maintenance.
๐บ๏ธ Local SEO & Expansion Potential
The website structure supports long-term local SEO growth, including:
Clear service categorization
Location-focused content sections
Expandable service-area coverage
Landing-page readiness for nearby towns
This creates a foundation for ranking across multiple local intent searches.
๐ฎ Future Enhancement Opportunities
Potential next-phase improvements could include:
Dedicated landing pages per service area
Emergency service callouts
Online appointment scheduling
Customer testimonial integrations
Google Reviews embedding
Performance tracking dashboards
The current design fully supports these enhancements without structural changes.
๐ Final Takeaway
This project demonstrates my ability to go beyond surface-level UI design and deliver:
Business-aligned UX decisions
Conversion-driven local service design
Trust-focused visual systems
Scalable, future-proof layouts
Mobile-first, urgency-aware experiences
