Why this project matters

Why this project matters

CapWest offers eight distinct specialized services (concrete forming, pumping, electrical, drywall and more) — the interesting problem is presenting that breadth without it reading as an unfocused list, while still proving credibility through named completed projects.

The business

Who this is for

Who they are

CapWest Group is a construction services company based in Vancouver with 35 years of collective professional experience.

What they do

They provide integrated construction services — concrete forming, pumping, equipment rentals, electrical, drywall, steel stud, metal panels and firestopping.

Who they serve

Commercial and residential construction projects throughout Vancouver and North America.

Requirements

What the live site required

Not a wishlist from a kickoff call — what the delivered site visibly had to solve. Every requirement here is paired with the evidence that makes it true today.

Eight specialized services presented without overwhelming the visitor

Content

Services are organized as eight distinct offerings under a dedicated Services section rather than one long list.

Proof of credibility through named completed work

Content

Named projects (The Grande, Cambie Gardens) are shown in a project portfolio with a "View All" link.

Active recruiting alongside client-facing content

Content

A Careers section sits in the main navigation alongside client-facing service pages.

Engineering decisions

Why this stack, not just what stack

Every technology on this project was a specific answer to a specific problem — never a default.

  1. 01

    WordPress

    Chosen so the team can add new completed projects and testimonials to the portfolio without developer involvement.

  2. 02

    Elementor

    Chosen for the structured, multi-service homepage layout covering eight distinct offerings.

    Trade-off — Elementor supports the structured homepage directly, but the project portfolio is a static gallery — filtering or sorting completed projects by service type would need functionality beyond a standard portfolio widget.

Key features

What the site can actually do

Service catalog

Eight specialized construction services, each with its own page.

Project portfolio

Named completed projects with a "View All" link.

Testimonials

Client feedback section on the homepage.

Careers section

Active recruiting content alongside client-facing pages.

Implementation notes

What the finished build shows

Specific, verifiable patterns in how this project is put together — not a feature list, but how the pieces fit.

Navigation

Careers given the same visibility as service pages

The Careers section sits in the main navigation alongside client-facing service pages rather than a footer link — recruiting gets the same prominence as the services being sold.

Pattern

Named projects up front, full list one click away

The homepage shows specific named projects (The Grande, Cambie Gardens) rather than a generic work teaser, with a separate "View All" link continuing to the fuller list.

Gallery

The live experience

Every screen, captured directly from the live site — desktop, tablet and mobile.

How this applies to you

How this project's engineering applies to your business

  • Presenting a wide service range as distinct, browsable offerings — backed by named proof of completed work — applies to any multi-service contractor or B2B firm whose credibility depends on a visible track record.

The recap

If you remember three things

  • Service breadth, organized

    Eight distinct services presented without reading as an unfocused list.

  • Named-project credibility

    Specific completed projects shown, not generic claims of experience.

  • Editor-managed portfolio

    New work addable to the portfolio without developer involvement.
