School Products & Equipment Inc. (SP&E)

A new website for a design-build company that serves schools, colleges and public agencies across North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.

SP&E Inc.'s homepage

What they needed

SP&E builds and equips gyms, classrooms, locker rooms and other school spaces. It sells to K-12 school districts, colleges, government agencies and parks and recreation departments. Their old site was a Wix site they made themselves. They needed a real website that shows what they build and makes it easy to ask for a quote.

What I built

I built them a custom site, then rebuilt it from the ground up on the same platform that runs this site: built for phones and quick to load. Each market they serve, from K-12 schools to government and parks and recreation, has its own page. There is a Request a Quote button in the header, a contact form, and a service request form. Every form is checked for spam and goes straight to their inbox.

How it's going

On Google PageSpeed Insights, the new site beats their old Wix site on all four scores below: performance on desktop and on mobile, accessibility, and best practices.

Before and after

SP&E's new website: the SP&E Inc. header with a Request a Quote button, the headline Building Better Facilities for Schools and Communities, and a gym photo.
SP&E's old Wix website: a Wix ad bar across the top, a WELCOME banner over an auditorium photo, and a chat bubble.

For public agencies

Built for public-sector buyers

Because SP&E sells to schools and public agencies, its website is judged by public-sector buyers. It has to load quickly on a phone and do well on accessibility tests, and the scores above show the new site does both.

SP&E's site also runs on the same platform as pagesteady.com, so security and accessibility fixes made to the platform reach it too.
