Case Study: All Trim Carpentry WordPress Website Design for Custom Carpentry Services

Executive Summary

All Trim Carpentry needed a professional website to showcase custom carpentry work and generate leads in Toronto’s competitive home renovation market. ZeOrbit created a WordPress solution featuring portfolio galleries, detailed service pages, e-commerce functionality, and free design consultation booking. The website established All Trim Carpentry as a premium custom carpentry provider in the Greater Toronto Area.

Project Overview:

• Showcase carpentry craftsmanship visually.
• Generate qualified project leads.
• Enable free design consultation bookings.
• Sell carpentry products online.
• Position as premium sustainable provider.

The Challenge

All Trim Carpentry faced typical contractor marketing obstacles.

• Visual Proof Needed. Custom carpentry requires demonstrating quality before customers commit. Without portfolio showcasing previous work, prospects had no way to evaluate craftsmanship.
• Complex Service Range. Nine different carpentry services needed clear organization. Visitors could easily become overwhelmed without proper information architecture.
• Premium Positioning. Attracting quality-focused clients willing to invest in custom work required communicating value without appearing unaffordable.
• Consultation Conversion. Sales process begins with free design consultations. Website needed to convert visitors into consultation bookings effectively.
• E-Commerce Addition. Business wanted to sell products alongside services. Integration had to feel seamless rather than conflicting.
