B2C Portfolio of Services from Business to Consumer
Free Roofer Quotes
Consumers can fill out a two-page form and receive quotes from participating roofers in their area. Articles about roofs and roofing provide information and provide content for search engines. While requesting a quote is free, local roofers pay a monthly subscription fee to access leads in their specified area. Payment processing supports all major credit cards. The website automatically collects payments, provides access codes to roofers. The rest is up to the roofer to contact the consumer.
Warehouse Junk
Standard blogging software was customized to produce this website where new, but unused, home construction products can be bought and sold. It is a forum where home builders and professionals in the kithcen and bath industries could sell surplus, overstock, and return products. Those same professionals, as well as homeowners, could browse the website for special deals on unwanted products. Sellers pay for a listing; all transactions are between buyer and seller.

Century 21 Solid Gold Realty is in Brick, NJ. Their website not only allows them to upload and promote their newest listings, but also showcase their upcoming open houses on the home page.

The list of towns serves to help customers find his services via the search engines.
Don-Martin Construction
When Don-Martin Construction opened a new location in Mechanicsburg, PA (in addition to their Hillsborough, NJ location), it made sense to update the website by placing a map right on the home page. Case studies, some testimonials, and a series of project photos combine to tell the story of the quality of their work and services. Descriptions of how they work, and what their services include, help promote customer contact while improving search engine ranking. A contact form includes location and phone numbers. Seasonal coupons are added to their Current Specials page at various times of the year.
Pat's Woodworks
This simple web site gets to the point and produces results. The home page fully explains the services that Pat provides along with his commitment to quality products and personalized service. A second page provides instructions on how to care for refinished hardwood floors, previously only available as a handout. There is a page of a custom border design installation details, explaining the installation. And finally the contact page. This simple web site generates an average of three leads per week -- exceeding leads derived through phone book ads.
