The work

A custom-built site that finally matches the caliber of the pools.

Nor-Cal had been running on a Squarespace template that didn't reflect the level of work they were doing. Photos of premium custom builds were sitting inside a layout that looked like every other pool company. Conversions were weak, the brand felt generic, and the site couldn't compete with how they wanted to be perceived.

The work covered a brand refresh, photography direction, copywriting, and a fully custom-coded site, hand-built in HTML, CSS, and JS. Day-to-night image transitions, scroll-triggered reveals, and a rising consultation panel keep visitors moving through the site, with quote requests landing straight in the team's inbox.

What's on the site

Built so the pools do the selling.

Day-to-night transitionsHero imagery crossfades from daylight to night, showing how the pools live across hours.
Quote requestsContact and consultation forms send submissions straight to the team's inbox.
Scroll-triggered motionGSAP-powered reveals and a rising consultation panel keep visitors moving instead of bouncing.
Mobile-first buildDesigned for the phone first, where most pool leads land before they sit at a desk.
Photography directionDirection on the imagery so the homepage and printed proposals share the same premium look.
HostingHand-coded HTML, CSS, and JS hosted on Netlify with images served through Cloudinary.

Old Squarespace template — new custom build.

Same client, same offer, totally different presentation.
