Rebuilding an Underperforming E-Commerce Business

Explore the Case Study

The Business Challenge

The business had invested substantially in digital advertising while operating an underperforming e-commerce storefront. Marketing expenditure was not translating into the level of business performance needed to justify continued investment.

$8,000 Reported after-tax earnings during the same historical period

These historical figures highlighted the need to examine the business infrastructure supporting its marketing investment.

Our Approach

Rather than treating advertising as an isolated solution, Creative Holdings evaluated the broader e-commerce experience, including product presentation, website organization, customer navigation & the relationship between paid traffic and purchasing opportunities.

The strategy centered on establishing a more functional Shopify storefront and a stronger foundation for measurable digital marketing.

HMS Plumbing & Construction

Plumbing · Construction · Southern California

Building a Digital Foundation for Customer Acquisition & Service Growth

HMS Plumbing & Construction needed a professional digital presence that could do more than describe its services. Creative Holdings developed the company's first website using Squarespace, integrated Housecall Pro for customer service requests & connected RealWork to showcase customer reviews and completed work.

Project Focus Website Design & Development · Squarespace · Housecall Pro · RealWork Integration · Customer Reviews · Lead Generation

Explore the Case Study

The Business Challenge

HMS Plumbing & Construction operated without a dedicated website, limiting its ability to present services, showcase completed projects & establish a centralized digital destination for prospective customers.

The company needed a professional online presence that connected its service offerings with customer inquiries, appointment requests & visible evidence of its work.

Our Approach

Creative Holdings approached the project as a business infrastructure initiative rather than a standalone website design assignment.

The strategy connected three essential functions: a professional website, service management technology & customer trust-building tools.

Each component was selected to support the customer journey from discovering the company to evaluating its work and requesting service.

Technology & Systems Integration

Squarespace

Designed and developed the company's first professional website using custom code, structured service content & responsive layouts. The website became the central destination for business information and customer inquiries.

Housecall Pro

Integrated the company's service management platform with its website to help connect online visitors with service requests & appointment opportunities.

RealWork

Established the RealWork software relationship & integrated its website widget to showcase Google customer reviews and examples of completed work directly within the customer experience.

Connecting the Customer Journey

The new digital experience was designed to reduce friction between researching a service provider and taking action.

STEP 01 Discover

Prospective customers visit a professional website to learn about the company's plumbing & construction services.

STEP 02 Build Trust

RealWork brings customer reviews and project examples into the website, helping visitors evaluate the business without leaving the page.

STEP 03 Request Service

Housecall Pro supports the transition from website visitor to service inquiry or appointment request.

Work Delivered

Custom website coding and responsive page layouts

Outcomes & Business Value

The Housecall Pro integration established a clearer pathway for service inquiries and appointment requests, while RealWork made customer feedback and project examples accessible directly through the website.

Together, these systems supported increased opportunities for customer calls, appointments & service inquiries, while strengthening the company's digital credibility.
