Snapshot

Mobile-friendly Has viewport meta. Simple Avada/WordPress layout; homepage is essentially a single hero + footer
Clear primary CTA Hero CTA is an orange Services button — but /services/ is empty (header/nav/footer only). Phone and email in the footer are not tel: / mailto: links
Contact path obvious Contact page with form + “Text or call” showing (909) 208-8755. Email myutopialandscape@gmail.com in footer
Speed / feel WordPress 7.0.2 + Avada Studio footer (“© 2021 – Avada Studio • Powered by WordPress”). Thin homepage; feels unfinished rather than slow
Trust Strong About (founder Laura Clements). Design page has process + Vision package. No portfolio gallery or reviews. Services empty; Elements / Layout package tabs titled but empty
SEO basics Title emphasizes sustainable California gardens. Meta mentions designs, consultations, and “no-mow” maintenance for natives / drought-tolerant gardens. H1 is lifestyle copy, not brand-forward
First impression Design-focused brand with a real About + Design story buried behind a thin 2021 Avada homepage and an empty Services destination

Top issues

  1. Homepage Services CTA links to /services/, which has no body content — a dead end for the only above-the-fold button
  2. Phone (909) 208-8755 and email myutopialandscape@gmail.com are plain text (no click-to-call / mailto) on homepage and Design; Contact “Text or call” phone is also not a tel: link
  3. Design page claims three pricing plans (Vision / Elements / Layout) but only Vision has includes + “Prices start at $1150 per yard” — Elements and Layout headings are empty
  4. Almost no visual proof — a few garden photos, no finished-yard portfolio; Instagram linked; Pinterest footer icon points to #
  5. Footer still reads © 2021 – Avada Studio; Design page typos (“consutation”, “and and”, “your the first layer”, lowercase “i”)

Opportunities

What a better site should do for this business:

Suggested scope

Package Starter — $999 (payment plan OK: 50/50 or 3 monthly)
Pages / features Home (brand + design CTA + click-to-call), About (migrate Laura Clements copy), Design / process (migrate 4 steps + Vision package), Contact (form + phone + email); content migration; HTTPS hosting
Out of scope for v1 Photo shoot, inventing Elements/Layout prices or reviews, logo redesign, paid ads, self-serve CMS login
Rough timeline 1–2 weeks after deposit + content/photos access
Update model after launch Hybrid + Care recommended ($79/mo) — package blurbs and photo swaps fit in 2 hrs/mo

Call talking points

  1. Your homepage asks people to click Services, but that page is empty — we can turn the first tap into a clear path to your design process and contact number.
  2. You already explain a thoughtful four-step design process and a Vision package starting at $1,150 per yard — a Starter site can put that in front of homeowners with click-to-call.
  3. Phone and email are on the site but not tappable on phones; a small fix that matters for outdoor design leads.
