South Build
A self-initiated demo build showing how a building/extension business's site can build trust in a bigger-ticket decision before the first phone call.
The brief
The challenge
Building work is a bigger decision for customers than a call-out, so the brief (set by me, for this demo) was to lead with finished-work proof and a clear quote process rather than just a phone number. The same problem real builder clients bring.
The build
My approach
Built as a fully custom Next.js site: a bold editorial hero, a finished-work section, and a clear 'get a quote' path alongside the phone number. No real business, reviews or contact details behind it. It's a working example, not a live company.
Built for speed
Google measures every site against a 0 to 100 PageSpeed Insights score: how fast it loads, how usable it is for people relying on assistive tech, whether it follows modern web best practices, and whether it's set up correctly for search. It matters because Google uses page speed as a ranking signal, and most visitors on a mobile connection will leave a slow site before it even finishes loading. This is the real, unedited report for South Build, captured on 2 Sep 2026.
