Case study · founding client
GaBe Double Glazing, live.
A cinematic website and an owner's lead inbox for a double-glazing specialist, built, measured, and live at gabedoubleglazing.com.au.
The live homepage, captured 6 Aug 2026: a real screenshot of the production site, not a mockup.
The engagement
Our founding client: the first build, shipped end to end.
- The website
- An image-led, cinematic marketing site for a double-glazing specialist, phone-first on every page.
- The owner portal
- A private portal with a lead inbox: every enquiry in one place the owner can open any morning.
- Booking
- Visitors book a consultation directly from the site.
- The quote pipeline
- Quote requests arrive in the owner's own email inbox, ready to price. Nothing sits unseen in a dashboard.
Before → after
What actually changed. No numbers invented, no names named.
Walking in
- One blended monthly bill: ad spend, management and hosting in a single figure, the split not itemised.
- Enquiries with no single home: no portal, no inbox, no way to see them in one place.
- No published measurement: no load time, no performance score, nothing dated.
Live today
- A fast, phone-first site, measured, dated, published below.
- An owner portal with every enquiry in one inbox, and consultations booked straight from the site.
- Performance and uptime watched automatically, with the cadence published, never an invented percentage.
The engagement began the way every LocalCraft build does: ownership before action, securing the domain and accounts first, before a single design decision.
Proof, measured
Every number below was measured, and carries the date it was measured.

*Transfer weight: headless-Chrome network log against the live homepage, 390 px phone viewport at 2× display density, cache disabled, every byte before any scrolling: 424 KB across 21 requests. Lighthouse: the 5 Aug 2026 main-branch CI sweep, mobile form factor, production build. Homepage performance 83/91/92 across three runs (median 91). Uptime: an automated check runs every six hours. We publish the cadence, not an invented percentage.
How it's built
The same discipline this page is written under.
Claims traced
Every claim on the client's site traces back to his own words or documents. Nothing is invented on his behalf, no testimonial appears until he writes one himself.
Quality gates, not promises
Draft or placeholder content can never reach the live site: it is blocked automatically before anything publishes. Performance and accessibility are checked on every single change, with accessibility held to a hard 100, and it measured 100 on every page, every run of the 5 Aug 2026 sweep.
Two-pass review
Every change is reviewed twice before it ships, independently, by different eyes. And the numbers above are re-measured and dated, not written once and left to age.
