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
๐ฏ Business Goals & Objectives
โ๏ธ Increase phone calls and service inquiries
โ๏ธ Establish immediate trust and professionalism
โ๏ธ Clearly present services without overwhelming users
โ๏ธ Optimize the site for local service conversions
โ๏ธ Build a scalable structure for future service areas
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 - 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 - 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
Minimal text clutter
Immediate access to contact actions
This ensures users can call within seconds of landing on the site.
๐งช Iteration & Refinement

๐ Measurable Outcomes & Performance Impact
While the primary focus of this project was trust-building and lead conversion, every design decision was intentionally mapped to measurable performance outcomes rather than subjective aesthetics.
The site was structured to guide users toward one clear action-making contact- while removing distractions that typically slow down decision-making for local service customers.
As a result, the website supports:
Increased click-to-call engagement, driven by highly visible and repeated CTAs placed at natural decision points
Faster user decision-making through simplified service categorization and scannable content blocks
Reduced bounce rate by eliminating unnecessary navigation depth and competing actions
Improved mobile engagement with thumb-friendly call buttons and simplified layouts
Stronger local relevance and trust through clear service-area messaging and locality cues
Instead of functioning as a passive informational site, the final product acts as a 24/7 lead-generation system, consistently turning local search intent into real customer inquiries.
๐ง Key UX & CRO Learnings
This project reinforced several critical principles that are especially important in local service UX and conversion optimization:
Urgency consistently outperforms visual complexity in service-based industries
Users prioritize clarity, reassurance, and safety over visual trends or animations
A single, clearly defined conversion goal (Call Now) performs significantly better than multiple competing CTAs
Trust indicators-experience, locality, reliability-must be surfaced before users scroll
Mobile users expect instant access to contact actions, especially in urgent scenarios
These insights directly influenced layout hierarchy, CTA placement, content ordering, and visual emphasis across the site.
The result is a UX that respects the userโs mindset:
โI need help now - can I trust this company?โ
๐ฑ Accessibility & Usability Considerations
Accessibility and usability were treated as core design requirements, not optional enhancements. Local service customers often include users under stress, older users, or those accessing the site quickly on mobile.
Key considerations included:
High-contrast color combinations to ensure readability in bright or low-visibility conditions
Large, clearly defined tap targets optimized for one-handed mobile use
Strong typography hierarchy to allow users to scan and understand content in seconds
Minimal cognitive load during high-urgency scenarios
Consistent button styles, labels, and iconography to reduce hesitation
This ensures the site remains effective and usable across different age groups, devices, and emotional states-a critical factor for service-based businesses.
๐งฑ Design System & Scalability
The website was built using a component-based design structure, allowing the business to grow without constant redesigns.
This approach makes it easy to:
Add or modify services without disrupting the overall layout
Create new landing pages for additional service areas or cities
Introduce emergency services or seasonal offerings
Maintain brand consistency as the site expands
By designing reusable sections and flexible layouts, the site becomes a long-term digital asset, not a one-off marketing expense.
๐ง Technical & Implementation Readiness
The UI was designed with real-world development and performance constraints in mind, ensuring smooth implementation and long-term maintainability.
Key considerations included:
Clean sectioning for faster load times
Image-first layouts optimized for compression and performance
Simple grid systems compatible with modern CMS platforms
Reusable CTA components across multiple pages
SEO-friendly content hierarchy and semantic structure
This reduces development friction, simplifies future updates, and ensures the site remains performant as content grows.
๐บ๏ธ Local SEO & Expansion Potential
The site architecture was intentionally structured to support local SEO growth and geographic expansion.
This includes:
Clear service categorization aligned with local search intent
Location-focused content sections to reinforce relevance
Expandable service-area listings
Landing-page readiness for nearby towns and regions
This creates a scalable foundation for ranking across multiple โnear meโ and location-based searches, supporting long-term organic growth.
๐ฎ Future Enhancement Opportunities
The current design allows for seamless future enhancements without structural changes, including:
Dedicated landing pages for each service area
Emergency service callouts for high-urgency scenarios
Online appointment or request scheduling
Customer testimonial and case-study integrations
Google Reviews embedding for added social proof
Conversion and performance tracking dashboards
These enhancements can be layered in gradually as the business grows.
๐ Final Takeaway
This project demonstrates my ability to move beyond surface-level UI design and deliver business-driven digital solutions.
It reflects:
Business-aligned UX strategy, not just visual polish
Conversion-focused local service design
Trust-first visual systems tailored to high-stakes decisions
Scalable, future-proof layouts
Mobile-first, urgency-aware experiences
Best Grand Electric now has a website that works as hard as their technicians do-turning intent into action, and trust into long-term customers โก
