Project Overview

JLC Remodeling has been transforming homes across Virginia, Maryland, and DC for over 25 years. With two distinct service divisions—full-scale home remodeling and garage/epoxy flooring—they needed a digital presence that could showcase both specialties without overwhelming visitors. The goal was a fast, professional site that reflects their commitment to quality craftsmanship.

Our Approach

Static HTML Architecture:

RT7 Media built a lightweight, blazing-fast static HTML site that loads instantly and requires zero database overhead. This approach prioritizes performance and reliability—essential for a contractor whose reputation is built on doing things right the first time.

Distinctive Visual Design:

The centerpiece of the site is a diagonal split-screen layout that gives equal visual weight to JLC’s two divisions. This collision design creates immediate visual interest while clearly communicating the breadth of services offered. Full-bleed photography showcases their actual work, building trust through transparency.

Mobile-First Responsive:

Understanding that homeowners often research contractors on their phones, we designed mobile-first. The diagonal layout gracefully adapts to vertical stacking on smaller screens, maintaining visual impact while ensuring usability.
