SW Custom Cabinets, walnut kitchen with brass fixtures
Field Rebuild 001 Livermore, CA
SW Custom Cabinets
25 years of work. Two websites. Two names. One confused customer.
The business wasn't broken.
The way it showed up was.
Good work.
Hard to find.
  • ✕ Two separate websites, one license
  • ✕ No clear positioning between them
  • ✕ Real, strong work, undersold presentation
  • ✕ A real asset (4,633 Instagram followers, organized by project) not connected to either site
  • ✕ One domain plain and family-owned, one selling "luxury estates"
Great work.
Poor presentation.
The Before

Confusing for the customer

sw-cabinets.com
"Operating for over 20 years, SW is family-owned and services all of the Bay Area and Northern California."
Plain, family-owned tone
702kitchens.com
"Premium Bay Area Kitchens" · "luxury estates"
Same license, same address, sales-heavy voice
Which one is the real company?
Real side-by-side screenshots pending, both domains still live. Real quoted copy above, verified against each site directly.
The Rebuild
One brand. A clearer story. A website built to work.

Consolidated onto sw-cabinets.com, one voice instead of two, and real project photography carrying the premium feeling instead of adjective-heavy copy.

I See Everything It Needs To Do

Every part of the rebuild has a job. Here's what each one is actually for.

Get The Right Calls

Attract the projects SW actually wants, not just more calls.

Positioning

Let The Work Sell For You

Show prospects SW has already built work at their level.

Social Proof

Make It Easier To Say Yes

Use real reviews and project proof to reduce uncertainty before the call.

Conversion

Answer It Before They Ask

Handle the common questions before the sales conversation has to.

Content

Show Up Where You Want To Work

Build real geographic relevance around the areas SW actually wants more of.

Local SEO

Make The Next Step Obvious

Give an interested prospect one clear path forward, not five.

The Results
Strategy / Current Build
  • Attract better-fit, higher-value projects
  • Reduce dependence on Steve for every sales conversation
  • Build a digital presence that matches the real book of business
  • Move toward a business that can function, and eventually sell, without the owner in every conversation
Verified Results
Nothing has launched yet. This stays empty until there's a real number to put here, not a guess.
The Larger Story
Owner-dependent business
→ Company-owned brand
→ Documented sales process
→ Business that can function, and eventually sell, without the owner

Steve mentioned during the visit that he's looking to exit in roughly five years, and the business isn't ready yet, still deeply owner-dependent for sales. This reframes the long-term opportunity. It's a direction, not something built or proven. This case study updates once there's real progress to show, not before.

Good shop. Bad showroom.
