Your site.
Updated past 2018.
Below is a plain-English look at what your current site does well, what it does poorly, and what we would change.
Your website today vs. what it could be.
We built this preview from everything already on your site, reorganized, redesigned, and priced to own outright.
- Your assets are dated 2014 to 2018
Every image on rickyratchets.com lives in /wp-content/uploads/2014/ to /2018/. The newest asset is six-plus years old. Visitors notice. Search engines notice. The site reads as abandoned even when it isn't.
- Your four disciplines look like one
Repair, body work, restoration, and used vehicle sales are four different revenue streams. On the current site they run together as a wall of body text under a single “Services” heading. Most visitors only see “repair” and don't realize you also sell used cars.
- Multiple scattered domains
rickyratchets.com and rickyratchets.ca both exist. Customers searching for “Ricky Ratchets London” get inconsistent results. We pick one canonical domain and 301 the other to it.
- London Knights sponsor angle is not surfaced
You back the London Knights. The banner asset is on the site. The relationship doesn't show up on the homepage. Local-sports tie-ins are gold for trust and recall.
- The design looks out of date
Customers decide whether to trust a business in under 5 seconds, and they use the website to do it. A dated look makes an excellent business look like it's not paying attention.
- Four-discipline grid on the homepage
Repair, Body, Restoration, Used Cars each get their own card so visitors immediately see the full scope of what you do.
- London Knights section, with banner
Your sponsor relationship surfaces as its own band on the homepage. The Knights banner image is the centrepiece. Local hockey + local auto = trust + recall.
- Tap-to-call header on every page
Mobile users tap once and the call opens. That alone closes more bookings than any other change on the site.
- Real services ticker (12 specific items)
Air conditioning, mufflers, suspension, ball joints, tie rod ends, coolant flush, thermostat, and the rest, lifted verbatim from your homepage and turned into a visible signage row.
- A site that actually looks like a real business
Modern design that matches how your business actually feels, not a clicked-together template that looks like everyone else's.
- Works perfectly on phones
Most people looking for you are on a phone. This site is built for phones first, then tablets, then laptops, in that order.
- Everything you already have, better organized
Your hours, your services, your photos, your prices, your booking link, your menu, all of it, in one clean place that people can actually find.
- Fast, secure, and runs itself
Hosted on Cloudflare, the same network that powers Shopify and Discord. Always online, always secure, always fast. No plugins to update.
