KTO Roofing
Website Design
- Client: ZAB Design
- My Role: Website Designer
- Deliverable: Fully developed Website (WP)
- Time: August 2019 - 2 weeks
The owner of a roofing agency in Houston needed a new website. An experienced, hardworking man whose main lead generator is HomeAdvisor website. However, he wasn’t receiving enough in return for his investment. He needed a new website to start attracting new leads from other sources such as Google ads and SEO. The original name and contact info of the company in this project has been altered for privacy purposes.
Research
Even though this is a small scale project, research was done to identify common points of interest on competitors’ websites, as well as discovering features about the business that can differentiate them from the competitors. These features include experience, the scope of services, evidence of quality and qualifications, ease of contact, and access to exclusive offers. User reviews were a great source of information.
User Personas
Users are divided into residential property owners and commercial business owners. To ensure the website serves both groups, we developed user personas representative of each primary customer type. Looking at user reviews was an excellent source of information to understand user preferences and frustrations.
User personas allow us to devise the content based on the users’ needs. It’s essential to emphasize the experience, expertise and qualifications of the service provider. Also, the fact that his business is family-owned and operated is important. Last but not least, adding testimonials and supporting material that are indicators of the quality of the service will be very effective.

Adjusting the Process to meet the Project's Needs
This project was a small-scale web design project, so the UX process was done in a smaller scale compared to aj comprehensive design project. At the end, the client was extremely happy with the result so making the process more efficient and shorter was the right decision in this project.
