CHALLENGE

Bringing a Stronger Digital Footprint to a Pavement Marking Business

Equus’ is a highly-regarded women and minority owned line striping company in the greater DC area — but their website didn’t reflect it. The site was dated, busy, difficult to navigate, not optimized for mobile, and unclear about exactly what they did or where they operated.

Re‑build the site on WordPress (migrating from Squarespace) with a clean brand‑forward design, sharp copy and improved UX. Optimize for both mobile and accessibility while organizing within a SEO‑ready structure. Partner with external development team to make it real.

DELIVERABLES

  • Crafted a clearer site structure: strong landing page, service areas, differentiators front and center.

  • Designed fresh visuals and wrote crisp copy for brand alignment, readability and SEO.

  • Conducted keyword & location research and applied it in the WordPress back end (metadata, alt‑text, headings).

  • Managed the migration and technical build with the vendor: plugin choices, mobile/responsive work, accessibility support, full content transfer.

  • Streamlined navigation, improved hierarchy and cleaned the aesthetic to reduce clutter and raise credibility.

 

IMPACT

  • Users stayed longer: the bounce rate dropped from over 60% to close to 30% within four months of launch.

  • Clients and prospects responded positively—many assumed the company was far larger after seeing the site.

  • Fewer mismatched enquiries (outside service area) because messaging was clearer.

  • Internal morale improved; social media engagement with the company’s work rose.

  • The client was thrilled with a site that finally matched their real‑world quality.
