LiveContractor website for a Cache Valley renovation company with 32+ years of experience
Built by Caden Sorenson · Launched March 2026
What is Griffin Renovation?
Griffin Renovation is a residential renovation company serving Cache Valley, Utah. They specialize in drywall, painting, framing, trim work, and full project management with over 32 years of experience. The website needed to communicate that credibility fast, show past work, and make it easy for homeowners in Logan, Smithfield, Hyrum, and surrounding areas to get in touch.
The Build
This site started on LandingSite AI for a quick turnaround, then got rebuilt from scratch in plain HTML, Tailwind CSS v4, and vanilla JavaScript for better SEO and full control. No framework, no build step, no npm. Three pages, two JS files, one CSS file.
Key technical decisions:
- Tailwind v4 Browser CDN for styling without a build pipeline
- JavaScript component injection for shared header/footer across pages without a static site generator
- EmailJS for contact form submissions without a backend
- Cloudflare Image Delivery for automatic image optimization and WebP conversion
- JSON-LD structured data with
HomeAndConstructionBusinessschema, area served, service catalog, and customer reviews for local SEO - Netlify for free static hosting with security headers and aggressive caching
Results
The migration eliminated a monthly hosting fee and gave the client significantly better local search visibility. The structured data, proper meta tags, and sitemap give Google exactly what it needs to surface a local contractor in the right queries.
