audiences — residential & commercial
panel series with spec pages
conversion goal — contact form
design to live site
Overview
South Florida Metal Roofs needed a website that could serve two very different buyers simultaneously: homeowners replacing a damaged roof after a hurricane season, and commercial property managers spec-ing out a large-scale installation. The challenge was building one site that spoke to both without feeling generic to either — and converting both audiences into quote requests.
The Challenge
"How do you differentiate a metal roofing company in a market where every competitor claims 'quality' and 'experience' — in a state where hurricane season is real and buyers are doing serious research?"
In South Florida, metal roofing buyers are not impulse purchasers. They compare panel specs, look up Florida Building Code approvals, and often get three quotes. The site needed to be a credible resource — not just a brochure — with enough technical detail to win the research phase before the sales call happens.
The Approach
Positioning: Hurricane-Ready, Not Just Metal
The site architecture was built around three buyer questions in sequence: "Why metal?" → "Why this company?" → "How do I get a quote?" Every section was designed to answer one of these before asking for contact information.
Key Design Decisions
Hurricane-Ready as the Hook
In South Florida, 'metal roof' alone doesn't sell — every competitor says the same. Leading with hurricane certification and Florida Building Code approval gave homeowners a concrete reason to care beyond aesthetics.
Residential vs. Commercial Split
Two audiences with different buying triggers. Homeowners care about protection and energy savings. Property managers care about durability specs and compliance docs. The navigation was built to give each path immediately without forcing them to read through each other's content.
Product Detail Pages
Metal roofing buyers research specs. I designed product pages with panel series names, gauge, material (steel vs aluminum), and Florida Approval numbers — turning the site into a reference resource, not just a brochure.
Built with AI — Lovable
The site was designed and built entirely in Lovable. Product pages, gallery layout, contact form with routing — all shipped without a separate development engagement. For a contractor business with a tight budget and a real deadline, this is the model that works.
"The client didn't need a $20K agency build. They needed something credible, fast, and that actually generates quote requests. Lovable let me deliver all three in three weeks."

What I Learned
- •Technical industries require technical detail in the design — not to impress engineers, but because buyers who do real research will leave a site that feels like it's hiding the specs.
- •Dual-audience navigation doesn't have to be complicated. 'Residential' and 'Commercial' as the primary nav split worked because the buyer's first question is always 'is this for me?' — answer that first.
- •For contractor businesses, mobile optimization is not a nice-to-have. A significant portion of quote requests happen while a client is standing in front of their damaged roof.
