01 · The starting point

The site was working against them.

The center is well-established and fully licensed, but its website — built on an entry-level DIY page builder — was working against it, hiding the things parents look for first.

BeforeForever Friends' original DIY-builder website
The original site — an off-the-shelf builder template, no phone number, no search footing.
02 · The redesign

A site parents can trust in ten seconds.

Warm, credible and mobile-first — leading with trust and putting the two actions that matter, call and schedule a tour, within reach from anywhere on the page.

03 · What changed

Before → after, line by line.

The site keeps its familiar pages — Home, Programs, About, On-Site Providers, FAQ, Gallery, Contact — but every one was rebuilt from the ground up.

04 · Attention to detail

Quality isn't only how it looks — it's catching what breaks.

Caught & fixed a production bug before it cost enrollments

During cross-browser testing I found a shared script that crashed on any page without the contact form — silently leaving those pages blank for real visitors. I rewrote it so the site's content can never depend on JavaScript running, then re-verified every page live. The kind of issue that quietly loses a business leads until someone looks closely.

05 · The outcome

A site they're proud to send parents to.

Built to reflect the quality of the center — and built to be found.
