Kingsley Construction: 55 → Perfect 100 PageSpeed Score

How we rebuilt a Eugene general contractor's website to achieve a perfect PageSpeed score, generate 21+ leads, and attract 500+ visitors — all with zero ad spend.

The Challenge

Kingsley Construction is a 20+ year general contractor in Eugene, Oregon with over 100 completed residential projects. Their existing website scored a 55 on Google's PageSpeed Insights, loaded slowly, and wasn't generating quality leads.

They needed a site that reflected the quality of their craftsmanship, loaded instantly on mobile devices, and converted local searchers into high-value project inquiries — without relying on paid advertising.

The Solution

1. Built for Speed with Astro

We rebuilt the site on the Astro framework, achieving a perfect 100 mobile PageSpeed score. Every image is optimized and served in WebP format, CSS is code-split for zero render-blocking, and the entire homepage loads under 1MB.

2. SEO-Targeted Service Pages

Created 7 dedicated service pages targeting specific local search terms — from "kitchen remodel Eugene" to "home additions Eugene Oregon." Each page includes LocalBusiness schema markup and conversion-focused content.

3. Lead Capture System

Replaced the old email-only contact method with Netlify Forms and prominent phone CTAs on every page. Clear calls-to-action guide visitors toward requesting their free consultation.

4. Brand Story & Trust Signals

Built the site around "The Kingsley Standard" — highlighting their solid wood construction (no MDF), 5-year warranty, and owner-led projects. Added a project gallery, reviews page, and statistics that establish credibility instantly.

Core Web Vitals

All metrics pass Google's thresholds with room to spare — ensuring the site is eligible for search ranking boosts.
