01 · Website redesign
Here is the WordPress website we redesigned for Carlsbad Paving.
The site pairs the company’s yellow-and-black identity with real project imagery, a direct residential/commercial split and quote pathways designed around the work customers need.

02 · The company behind the website
A new design had to respect a reputation built since 1959.
Carlsbad Paving is a family-owned Ottawa company founded by Yves Provost and backed by more than 65 years of work.
That history matters. A redesign should not make a long-established contractor look like an unfamiliar startup. It should help the qualities that built the business—honesty, reliability and workmanship—come through more clearly to a new generation of customers.
We used the existing WordPress platform to create a bolder brand experience, better project storytelling and a more direct path from “I need paving” to the right service and quote request.
03 · Three routes to growth
Different buyers need different proof.
A homeowner considering a driveway and a commercial buyer planning a large surface project should not have to decode the same generic service page.

Residential paving
Driveways, excavation, asphalt, interlock, hardscaping and armour stone presented around the homeowner’s complete project.
