An identity that holds together.
A refreshed wordmark and an animated treatment drawn from the actual mark give the company a recognisable presence across the site.
United Facilities Group / Case studyThe people behind
The people behind
the building.
A facilities company with real people behind the work. A brand, website and inquiry system built to make that visible.
- Work
- Facilities services
- Place
- Northern California
UFG’s original website introduced the services. Brandcore’s 2024 rebuild gave those services a stronger home. The next generation connects the refreshed identity, original films, service and location pages, and the workflow behind an inquiry.
Live since October 16, 2026; shown here in its October 12 pre-launch capture.

The system
behind the screen.
Proof from the people doing the work.
Original people, photography and films explain the service in the company’s own voice. Service, industry and location pages give visitors useful routes into the work.
A useful next step.
Clear quote and contact paths connect the public website to inquiry capture, attribution and follow-up. The CRM scope is a delivered capability; provider rollout remains separately verified.
A foundation built to improve.
Static page delivery, deliberate media loading and retained content history give the team a clearer basis for maintenance, search work and future measurement.
03 / Retained speed evidence
Less waiting. More of the site.
The candidate’s median mobile main-content paint was 4.22 seconds, compared with 16.04 seconds for the earlier Brandcore site in the retained matched lab set.
October 12–13, 2026 · Homepage Lighthouse performance scores / 100
| Tested version | Mobile | Desktop | Mobile main-content paint (LCP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inherited site on current hosting | 55 | 78 | 16.80 s |
| Earlier Brandcore site | 46 | 65 | 16.04 s |
| Next.js staging candidate | 74 | 98 | 4.22 s |
Read the test method and its limits
Lighthouse 13.5.0, the same Windows runner and Chromium, three interleaved homepage runs per version and device, fresh browser processes and default simulated mobile/desktop presets. Values are medians. The same local script-injection exclusion was applied across targets.
- The original code runs on current hosting; these results do not establish historical hosting speed.
- Staging omits production analytics. The candidate must be retested after cutover.
- The earlier site’s HTML fingerprint changed during collection. The retained sample ranges and that limitation remain in the speed record.
- The candidate’s mobile main-content paint still exceeds the 2.5-second good-LCP threshold. These are lab measurements, not field Core Web Vitals or business outcomes.
