AV & Automation Specialists: website rebuild case study
A 22-page WordPress site for a home theater and automation installer rebuilt as 70 static pages, scoring 98 on Lighthouse mobile performance.
Drag to compare. Before: the old WordPress (custom theme) homepage, captured by our discovery tooling on July 30, 2026, before the rebuild went live. After: the live site, captured October 12, 2026. Both at 1440×900.
Measured results
Lighthouse mobile on the live homepage, median of 3 runs, October 12, 2026. No Lighthouse run of the old site was stored, so we show the rebuild only rather than guess.

What changed
From 22 pages to 70
Service, partner, location and blog pages were added around the client’s own content. All 18 old URLs that moved redirect permanently.
85 brand names out from behind tabs
Roughly 85 manufacturer names sat inside four JavaScript tabs on the old products page. They are now rendered as normal page content that search and AI crawlers can read.
Address and phone reconciled
The old site’s address, ZIP and phone disagreed with the Google Business Profile. The rebuild models both real locations consistently.
Old-site defects fixed
An empty homepage testimonial, two dead review links and a duplicate /home/ page were removed, and the phone button’s contrast was raised to pass WCAG AA.
