Concept work — these are not real clients, and no performance results are claimed.

Concept builds

Work

Two concept builds, and what I measured.

These are self-directed builds, not client work. They exist to test layout, copy, and measurement before a client pays for them. Every business detail is illustrative.

Why show concept work at all?

A portfolio of real client sites would require real clients, and inventing them is not an option. The briefs below are the kind of work I take. The measurements are from the builds themselves — page weight, requests, fields, and words. There are no traffic, call, booking, or revenue numbers because there is no client.

Concept — not a real client Concept 01

Family dentistry, single location

Four content sections · one booking path · no third-party scripts

Brief. A two-chair family practice in a town of 18,000. The old site was a template with a contact form going to a shared inbox, no online booking, and an insurance page written by a lawyer. Goal: more new-patient calls and booked first visits without adding work at the front desk.

Built. A one-page concept with three service summaries, an insurance section in plain language, a three-step first-visit sequence, and a four-field appointment request. The phone number would be tappable; the form would go to the practice inbox, not a third-party scheduler.

What it tests. Whether insurance objections can be answered above the fold, and whether a four-field form is enough to start a booking conversation.

Residential HVAC, owner-operated

Five content sections · repair-or-replace guide · no third-party scripts

Brief. A six-truck HVAC company doing emergency repair and replacement. The old site had three pages and put the phone number in an image, so it could not be tapped. Goal: after-hours calls and replacement quotes from homeowners who are deciding whether to repair.

Built. A one-page concept with a repair-or-replace comparison, a four-step service-call sequence, a maintenance plan description, and a four-field service request. Emergency guidance sits above the form instead of behind a menu.

What it tests. Whether putting the repair-versus-replace criteria on the page reduces price-only calls, and whether a ZIP field is enough to route a request.

For a real engagement

How I would measure yours.

Concept pages can be weighed and counted. A client site has to be measured against calls and booked work, which takes a baseline and three months.

01

Thirty days before launch.

Record the current numbers: calls from the site, form fills, Google Business Profile calls and direction requests, and booked jobs from your scheduling system. If there is no baseline, the first report is a guess.

02

At launch.

Test call, test form, and a check that every event fires. The site is not “done” until a submission arrives in the inbox you actually read.

03

Every month.

One page: calls, forms, profile actions, and the page each came from. A sentence on what changed and what is next. No dashboard you have to log into.

04

At ninety days.

A real review. If the numbers are flat, change the offer, the page titles, or the call to action — not just “do more SEO.” If the site is working, leave it alone and keep the reports coming.

No guarantee of rankings or lead volume. Call tracking needs a forwarding number or usable phone reports; if you have neither, the report uses form fills and profile actions, and says so.
