Client: Town & Country Windows
Website: tandcwindows.com
Industry: Home Improvement & Construction (Window Installation & Replacement)
Location: North Texas, United States
Project Goal: To revamp the existing website with a complete custom design that builds trust, effectively communicates their local focus, showcases their services and products, and ultimately increases conversion among their target audience of North Texas homeowners.
The Challenge:
Town & Country Windows, a reputable and long-standing business serving the North Texas region since 2004, recognized the need for a significant upgrade to their online presence. Their existing website did not fully reflect their professionalism, local expertise, or the quality of their services. Key challenges included:
- Outdated Design: The website lacked a modern and engaging aesthetic, potentially hindering trust and credibility.
- Lack of Clear Messaging: The website did not effectively communicate their unique selling proposition as a locally owned and operated business focused on quality over quantity.
- Insufficient Service and Product Information: Key offerings, including their partnerships with trusted brands like Burris Windows by Pella, Simonton, and WinCore, were not prominently featured.
- Limited User Experience: The website lacked intuitive navigation and clear calls to action to guide potential customers.
- Absence of Visual Proof: A lack of a dedicated gallery to showcase their completed projects limited their ability to demonstrate their expertise.
- Missed Opportunity for Local Connection: The website did not strongly emphasize their deep roots in the North Texas community.
WPVender’s Solution:
WPVender embarked on a comprehensive website redesign and development project, leveraging our expertise in creating custom WordPress solutions tailored to specific business needs. Our approach focused on understanding Town & Country Windows’ core values, target audience, and business goals.
- Discovery and Planning:
- We conducted a thorough analysis of the client’s existing website and their business objectives, referencing the provided Project Requirements Document (PRD).
- We identified their target audience (homeowners aged 38-70 with established properties in North Texas) and their key differentiators (quality over quantity, local ownership, strong warranties, and partnerships with reputable manufacturers).
- We reviewed competitor websites to identify industry best practices and opportunities for differentiation.
- We collaborated closely with the client to understand their design preferences and gathered necessary assets, including their logo and existing content.
- Custom Design (Figma):
- Our design team crafted a completely custom website design in Figma, focusing on a modern, professional, and trustworthy aesthetic.
- The design emphasized clean layouts, high-quality imagery, and intuitive navigation.
- Key design elements were strategically placed to highlight their local focus, core services (window installation and replacement), and unique selling propositions (e.g., “Zero Dollar Down” offer).
- We ensured the design was responsive and would provide a seamless experience across all devices.
- The client’s existing logo was polished to complement the new design.
- WordPress Development:
- We utilized WordPress as the Content Management System (CMS) for its flexibility and user-friendliness.
- The website was built upon the robust CubeWP Framework, providing a solid foundation for customization and scalability.
- We integrated the ValuePack Add-on to enhance functionality and streamline development.
- The Elementor page builder was implemented to provide the client with an intuitive interface for future content management.
- All five core pages (Home, About, Services, Product, Contact) were meticulously developed according to the approved Figma designs.
- A dedicated Blog section was created to allow Town & Country Windows to share valuable information and engage with their local audience.
- A comprehensive Gallery page was developed to showcase their completed window installation projects.
- Key Features and Functionality Implementation:

- Prominent “Request a Quote” Functionality: Easy-to-find forms and calls to action were implemented to encourage potential customers to initiate the quote process.
- Trust-Building Elements: Sections were dedicated to showcasing their awards (Living Magazine Best Reader’s Choice 2023), affiliations (BBB, Best Pick Reports, local chambers), and testimonials.
- Before & After Comparison Section: As requested, a dedicated section was created on each relevant page (Home, Services, Product, Gallery, Blog, Contact, About) to visually demonstrate the impact of their services. This involved creating a consistent layout for showcasing the transformation.
- Blog Integration: A fully functional blog section was implemented, allowing for easy content creation and management.
- Contact Form and Information: A user-friendly contact page with a contact form, phone number, and service area information was created.
- Responsive Design: The entire website was built to be fully responsive, ensuring optimal viewing and functionality across all devices.
