Before and after

Finn Projects, an engineering firm rebuilt for every screen.

A Toronto energy engineering firm founded in 1991, with a hand-coded site that hadn’t kept up: a fixed 1,000-pixel layout that shrank to unreadable on a phone. I rebuilt it in WordPress so it works on every screen and the team can keep it current.

What wasn’t working

  1. A fixed 1,000-pixel layout with no mobile setup, so phones showed the whole desktop page at about 40% size.
  2. No buttons. Phone numbers sat as plain text mid-page, and couldn’t be tapped.
  3. Every service in one bullet list on the homepage.
  4. Out-of-date details still live in 2026: “Over 25 Years” and a © 2023 footer.

What I changed

  1. 01

    Works on every screen

    A responsive build with a proper mobile menu, so the site reads at full size on a phone.

  2. 02

    Clear next steps

    Contact Us in the header, Our Services and Get In Touch in the hero, and tappable phone numbers.

  3. 03

    Services you can scan

    Six service cards on the homepage and a services page with a section for each.

  4. 04

    Proof in numbers

    Their track record up front: 30+ years, 1,000+ buildings audited, 5,000+ incentive applications.

  5. 05

    Sectors at a glance

    The six sectors they serve, from community housing to utilities.

  6. 06

    Easy to keep current

    Built in WordPress with Elementor, so the team can update details without a developer.
