L.A. Custom Pools & Spas

Nobody buys a custom pool from a paragraph. The redesign leads with the company's own finished pools, then its record, reputation and financing, then one clear call.

A redesign we built on our own initiative from the company's public photography and facts. The company has not hired Novenworks.

The gap

What a customer had to work through.

The customer
A homeowner about to spend six figures, deciding slowly and mostly from photographs.
The trust problem
A builder since 1997 with a thousand projects behind it, and a website that showed almost none of them.

A builder working since 1997 and more than a thousand completed projects, selling a decision that families make slowly and mostly from photographs. The site had to let a homeowner find the pool they were already picturing.

What we did about it

  • Opened on a finished pool and a single promise, with the phone number always in reach.
  • Turned the company's record — founded 1997, 1,000+ projects, 60+ cities, a California contractor license — into a strip a homeowner can read in two seconds.
  • Built a filterable gallery so visitors browse by style: freeform, clean-lined, hillside, tile and stone, after dark.
  • Stated reputation with its source (Houzz, industry awards) instead of paraphrasing it into testimonials, and gave financing its own section.
