Custom Website Design For Home Renovation Company

Lighthaus Built got more project inquiries in the first month after launch, than in the previous 12 months combined!

Lighthaus Built is a custom home building and renovation company in Toronto, Ontario started by Dave Cook and John Maher.

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Dave and John started their own company and hit the ground running. Thanks to their resputation and extensive industry connections, they were able to stay busy their first two years in business.

But they knew if they wanted to keep their growth sustainable, they needed to invest in their online marketing…

Dave and John were referred to me by their friend and remodeling industry business coach, Bryan Kaplan.

During our initial call, I was pleasantly surprised to hear how intentional they were about the messaging behind their brand. It was of the utmost importance to them to give prospective clients a clear picture of what made them different from other builders in their area.

While they knew who they were as an organization, they struggled with being able to communicate that to their ideal clients.

With my content collection tool and StoryBrand help from Bryan, we were able to craft the Lighthaus Built messaging into one that connected with both clients and referral partners in the industry.

As a residential builder trying to stand out from the thousands of others in our city, we were looking for a website that could convey our beliefs, attitude and ultimately our personalities. This is a challenging ask for what amounts to a static series of pages. But Katlyn was very patient from the beginning, listening to understand exactly who were are and what we wanted to say.

She has a good understanding of the Story Brand approach to marketing which for us was key, as we didn’t want our website to look like everyone else’s. Katlyn was kind but firm with the timeline of the build, which proved to be critical. Had she allowed me the leeway to produce copy on my own timeline I would still be thinking about it.

THE RESULTS

In just 8 weeks, we were able to…

  • Write compelling content that connects with users and persuades them to take action

  • Create two separate landing pages for their two primary audiences (with their own unique messaging and calls to action)

  • Build a portfolio of their featured projects to showcase their work, both in custom home building and whole home remodels

  • Customize their contact form to prequalify leads coming through the website

  • Add useful resources for potential clients, including testimonials, a Frequently Asked Questions section, an overview of the building process, and an introduction to the Lighthaus Built team

  • Create a modern, user-friendly, and strategic website design that has increased their conversion rates exponentially!

 

And another cool thing that happened?

After just 1 month since the new website launch, Lighthaus got more project inquiries than in the previous 12 months combined!

“Katlyn brings the perfect mix of project leadership and nurturing parent. I can honestly tell you that I had serious doubts about my ability to articulate the vague ideas in my head and Katlyn allayed those fears and turned it into gold. I can't imaging anyone being disappointed with her services. Just hire her.”
