Freedom Painting
A veteran-owned painting company in Houlton got a website built on spec first. The pitch was the site itself, and it became a paid project.
Freedom Painting is a veteran-owned painting company serving the Greater Houlton area. They didn't ask for a website. I built one anyway, sent it over, and the spec site became the paid project that's live today.
Built before anyone asked
Most web work starts with a meeting. This one started with a site. Freedom Painting is a veteran-owned painting company in Houlton, my own town, and I could see what a proper website would do for them. So I built the homepage first and sent it over, no strings attached, just a look at what was possible.
That was the pitch: a working page with their name on it that they could open on a phone and judge for themselves.
What the site has to say
A painting customer around Houlton wants to know a few things before they pick up the phone, and the homepage puts them first:
- Who they are. Veteran owned and operated, licensed in the State of Maine.
- Where they work. The Greater Houlton area, residential painting.
- How to reach them. A free-quote button and the phone number, both above the fold, plus a Call Now button in the header.
The rest of the site backs that up: services, a gallery, reviews and a contact page.
From spec to paid
They said yes. The spec site became a paid project, and it’s live at freedompainting.us.
