Snapshot

Mobile-friendly Wix one-pager adapts, but hero is a blurred stock/aerial image with only the business name — no CTA or phone above the fold
Clear primary CTA No Call or Get a quote button in the first viewport; contact form is far down the page
Contact path obvious Phone (909) 312-7735 and San Bernardino 92407 appear in About/Contact sections; no street address; no email found
Speed / feel Light Wix starter; “This website was built on Wix” banner and “Proudly created with Wix.com” footer undercut the brand
Trust Portfolio labeled “Past Work” but section is mostly keyword headings (Landscaper, landscape edging, concrete hardscape) — thin proof
SEO basics Title includes brand + “Landscaper”; H1 is the business name; local NAP is zip-only; custom domain link is dead
First impression Unfinished Wix starter template with leftover “Green Valley Landscaping” naming — reads as a placeholder, not a hardscape + landscape contractor

Top issues

  1. Hero has the brand name only — no phone, no click-to-call, no quote CTA for homeowners on mobile
  2. Brand confusion: page title and H1 say Grass Monkey, but About/footer still say “Green Valley Landscaping” (©2019)
  3. “Proudly created with Wix.com” + free Wix marketing banner signal DIY starter, not a hired contractor
  4. Portfolio / Recent Projects is keyword labels (edging, concrete hardscape) without clear project stories or a path to hire
  5. Linked domain http://grassmonkeylandscapedevt.com does not resolve usefully (HTTPS fail / HTTP 403) — weak trust if someone clicks it

Opportunities

What a better site should do for this business:

Suggested scope

Package Starter — $999 (content is essentially a placeholder one-pager; not enough real site to justify Rebuild migration)
Softener if needed Launch Lite $599 for a single converting page first; upsell to Starter when they want Services + Contact as separate pages
Pages / features Home (brand + CTAs + service area), Services (landscaping + hardscape grouping from live keywords), Contact (phone, 92407 / SB area, quote form); click-to-call; optional map when a street address is confirmed
Out of scope for v1 Photo shoot, logo redesign, paid ads, self-serve Wix/Squarespace login, inventing reviews or a street address not provided
Rough timeline 1–2 weeks after deposit + content/photos
Update model after launch Hybrid + Care recommended ($79/mo) — seasonal blurbs and photo swaps fit easily in 2 hrs/mo

Call talking points

  1. The current Wix page is mostly a starter template — the first screen is a blurred image and the business name, with no Call button for someone who wants hardscape or landscaping this week.
  2. The site still mixes “Grass Monkey” with “Green Valley Landscaping” in the About/footer — a clean Starter site can lead with one clear brand.
  3. Your linked custom domain doesn’t load cleanly; we can put a fast site on a domain you own and make phone + quote the obvious next step.
