HVAC & Local Home Services

$299 Rescue Live in 41 hours

Failed · Raw AI Output

What arrived

  • Mobile viewport collapsed below 420px — the service list ran off-screen and the phone number was unreachable.
  • Quote form posted to nowhere. Every enquiry submitted since launch had been silently discarded.
  • Domain still pointed at the builder’s preview subdomain; no SSL on the real address.
  • Service areas duplicated across four near-identical pages competing with each other.

Passed · Rescued & Live

What went back

  • Breakpoints rebuilt at 380, 640 and 1024 — tested on a real handset, not a simulator.
  • Form wired to an authenticated mailbox with a copy to the owner and a visible confirmation.
  • Tap-to-call header that follows the page down on mobile.
  • Four thin pages merged into one strong service page with the areas listed properly.

Diagnostic & wrench time

  • 01Stripped the builder’s inline styles and rewrote the layout as a mobile-first grid.
  • 02Rebuilt the enquiry form and connected it to authenticated SMTP so it lands in the inbox, not spam.
  • 03Mapped the A and CNAME records to the live host, issued the certificate and forced HTTPS.
  • 04Consolidated the duplicate service pages and set canonical tags so they stop competing.

Touring Comedian & Performer

$299 Rescue Live in 36 hours

Failed · Raw AI Output

What arrived

  • Audio player worked on desktop Chrome and nowhere else — silent on iOS entirely.
  • Press photos served as 8MB originals, so the media kit took most of a minute to appear.
  • Six competing headline sizes on one page; nothing told the eye where to land first.
  • Booking buried as body text under the tour dates, with no contact route from the top of the page.

Passed · Rescued & Live

What went back

  • Native audio element with proper fallbacks — plays on iOS, Android and desktop.
  • Press images compressed and served at display size; the kit opens immediately.
  • One clear type scale, so the name, the reel and the dates read in that order.
  • A direct booking route in the header, in the reel section and at the foot of every page.

Diagnostic & wrench time

  • 01Replaced the script-driven player with a native audio element and tested it across iOS, Android and desktop.
  • 02Re-encoded the press pack to WebP with JPEG fallbacks and sized every image to its slot.
  • 03Rebuilt the type scale to a single hierarchy and cut the competing headline sizes.
  • 04Added a persistent booking route and wired the enquiry form to a monitored mailbox.

Boutique Consulting Firm

$299 Rescue Live in 44 hours

Failed · Raw AI Output

What arrived

  • Largest Contentful Paint at 6.5 seconds — most visitors left before the page finished drawing.
  • Hero image shipped as a 4.2MB PNG that no browser could cache usefully.
  • Four separate font families loading render-blocking, none of them used more than once.
  • No heading structure, no meta descriptions, no sitemap. Nothing for Google to index.

Passed · Rescued & Live

What went back

  • Largest Contentful Paint at 0.9 seconds — inside Google’s “good” threshold.
  • Hero re-cut to WebP at display size and preloaded, so it paints first rather than last.
  • One typeface, two weights, loaded with font-display: swap.
  • Proper heading order, meta descriptions on every page, sitemap and structured data.

Diagnostic & wrench time

  • 01Converted every image to WebP at its display size and preloaded the hero so it paints first.
  • 02Cut four font families to one, loaded two weights, and stopped the render-blocking request.
  • 03Rewrote the heading order and added meta descriptions, a sitemap and Organization structured data.
  • 04Set long cache headers on static assets and enabled compression at the server.
