Lansing, MI Since 2009

What We Built

Services delivered for Essenmacher

Every decision was performance-driven: fast load times, clear service presentation, and a frictionless path from visitor to phone call.

Custom Responsive Design

Mobile-first layout with a dedicated hero for each service line — construction, handyman, and landscaping — ensuring every visitor lands on relevant content immediately.

Performance Architecture

Static HTML with optimized AVIF images, self-hosted fonts, and minimal JavaScript. Built for sub-second load times and green Core Web Vitals scores.

SEO Foundation

Schema.org structured data (LocalBusiness, Service, BreadcrumbList), semantic HTML, optimized meta tags, XML sitemap, and local keyword targeting for Greater Lansing.

Lead Generation System

Contact form with service-of-interest dropdown, click-to-call buttons on every page, and a clear three-step process section that removes friction from inquiries.

Gallery & Social Proof

Before-and-after project gallery organized by service type — construction, handyman, landscaping — with optimized images that showcase craftsmanship while loading instantly.

Service Area Coverage

Dedicated service area page targeting Greater Lansing and surrounding Mid-Michigan communities with local relevance signals for geo-targeted search visibility.
