The redesign

What it replaced.

Before
NorthStar Aluminum website before the rebuild

One long template page. A quote form before a single word of proof, and every service buried in walls of text.

After

A page with pace. The claim first, the credentials second, and a dedicated page for every trade NorthStar is licensed to run.

The problem

NorthStar is a licensed general contractor in Sarasota that builds the entire outdoor room — screen enclosures and pool cages, patios and decks, retractable awnings, motorized screens. Most companies in the market sell you a cage or sell you a shade and subcontract the rest. NorthStar doesn’t, and that is the whole argument for hiring them.

The old site never made that argument. It was a single template page that opened with an instant-quote form — asking for a name, a phone number, and an address before it had given a visitor one reason to trust the company. Below the form sat unbroken paragraphs of service copy, every trade competing on the same page, none of it reachable from navigation. Nothing about it read like a licensed contractor with a permit history.

We rebuilt it around the proof. The claim leads — one contractor for all of your outdoor living — and the credentials follow immediately: state license number, design wind load, wind-failure record, real Google reviews. Each trade got its own page instead of a paragraph. The permit-and-inspection process is written out plainly, because knowing what to expect is what separates a contractor from a salesman.

The quote form is still there. It just comes after the reasons to fill it out.
