Ray’s Siding Get’s The Website They Dreamed Of.
1. The Challenge: A Website That Fell Short
Ray’s Siding & Exterior, serving Fredericksburg and the Northern Neck, was hamstrung by a website that:
- Wasn’t on-brand: It failed to reflect the company’s decades-long legacy of quality craftsmanship, community trust, and family-oriented service.
- Didn’t serve the business: The site lacked functionality that translated into real value—no tools to streamline estimates or operations.
- Wasn’t leveraging technology: There was untapped potential to make the digital experience match the physical one, especially in an industry that now appreciates digital convenience paired with hands-on expertise.
2. Our Approach: Metro Nova Creative to the Rescue
As a locally based creative partner, Metro Nova Creative was uniquely positioned to address Ray’s needs:
- We’re local: Based in Fredericksburg, we understand the unique character, community, and business rhythm of the region.
- We know small business: No outsourcing. Just a dedicated local team that speaks straightforwardly—and not from a “tech guy” pedestal, but from a place of respect.
- Construction-savvy: We know siding, roofing, decks—your language—so we could craft a digital experience that resonates with both homeowners and tradespeople.
3. What We Built: A Digital Home That Reflects Their Real One
