The earlier production website introduced Wake Construction's services in one long page. The new Minden site gives custom homes, remodeling, commercial work and the planning process their own space. The supplied identity and architectural presentation lead into a project inquiry that keeps the details together.
Live on Seppies. Production captures and the final three-run mobile and desktop measurements were recorded after the November 4, 2026 cutover.

Keep the
source trail.
The record distinguishes the previous website, the selected design and the production rollout.
Current production files and databases, together with the supplied source, are retained privately. File modification times and database dates do not independently establish a public launch date or authorship.

The actual maintained website
Matched desktop and phone captures, together with dated raw lab observations, document the public website as maintained at the capture date.

Design and inquiry handling
The selected design was carried into a separate production build with retained inquiries, customer-facing copy and a full hostname and indexing check.

The production cutover
The production domain now serves the new Seppies build. Dated captures and normal production lab observations followed the hostname, certificate, indexing and legacy URL checks. Historical inquiry reconciliation is a separate retained record.
02 / What we built
The system
behind the screen.
Carry the supplied identity through the experience.
The approved Minden mark, restrained colors and architectural linework stay consistent from the opening view through the service pages and contact form.
Turn a project brief into an inquiry.
The production form saves an accepted inquiry in a private inbox before showing its confirmation. A copy of the project details remains available to the visitor.
Keep the useful paths and measure what follows.
Legacy addresses, production canonicals and a dedicated measurement setup provide a basis for search visibility and inquiry reporting after launch.

Measure the change. Keep the context.

Read the test method and its limits
Lighthouse 13.0.1 and Chrome 151 from the same pinned Sitespeed 42.6.0-plus1 image on Eggbox. Fresh Chrome processes, standard simulated mobile and desktop presets, 2 CPUs and 4 GiB memory. Three samples per version and device. Before and design-preview observations were interleaved; final production-after observations followed the public cutovers and are separately dated. Medians and ranges are retained.
- These are lab results for the exact pages and dates tested, not field Core Web Vitals, sales or search-ranking outcomes.
- Preview indexing protection is intentional. Preview SEO scores do not represent production indexability.
- The selected preview showed a software-rendering blocking-time regression. Its production build uses a capability fallback. The preview record is retained separately from the final production observations.
- Before, preview and final production are different recorded phases. Final production includes its normal analytics. Launch-day analytics also includes operator and laboratory visits and does not establish business growth.
