Your website today
What Google and a new client see when they look you up.
Projects can’t be opened. Nine small photos with suburb names. No story, no scope, no result.
Template pages are live. “Sun Juan, Villa” and “Sporn House, Berlin” are Wix sample pages. Google shows them under your name.
No way to enquire online. A phone number and email. No form, no project brief.
Slow on a phone. The main image took 8.3 seconds to appear in a mobile test.
