South Lake Tahoe, CA -- General Contractor
Justin Allen is a general contractor in South Lake Tahoe. He does serious construction work -- framing, excavation, electrical, tile, remodels, decks. His work is excellent. His online presence was not. He had no website, an incomplete Google Business Profile, and no way for people searching for contractors in the area to find him or evaluate him. Referrals were his only pipeline.
Custom website -- jallenconstructiontahoe.com
Dark professional design. Hero with rotating photo gallery, services section, 46-photo work gallery with lightbox, testimonials, and contact form. Built with HTML/CSS/JS and Tailwind. Deployed on Vercel.
Google Business Profile optimization
Full profile setup: categories, description, services, hours, 20+ photos. Profile strength moved from incomplete to green. Verified listing.
Contact form setup
FormSubmit.co integration. Inquiries go straight to Justin's email. No backend, no database, no maintenance required.
Custom domain + SSL
Domain registered, DNS configured, SSL active. Hosted on Vercel's free tier -- no ongoing hosting cost.
Dark professional theme: Construction businesses look serious with dark color schemes. It signals quality and experience. Light/white sites read as residential real estate or consumer brands -- not what a contractor wants.
Photo-forward layout: Justin's work speaks for itself. The 46-photo gallery is the most important section on the site. Clients hiring a contractor want to see the work before they call. We made the gallery the centerpiece.
Rotating hero: A single hero image gets stale. The rotating carousel keeps the hero visually interesting and shows breadth of work without requiring the user to scroll.
No CMS: Justin doesn't need to edit the site himself. He calls me for updates. This keeps the site fast, clean, and maintenance-free.
Taking on new clients now. If you work with me, your results get documented and added here -- with your permission. Full transparency on what was built and what happened.
