Jarvis International.
I built a WordPress site for a long-established security and investigations firm that cannot talk about most of its cases. Instead of case stories, I let verifiable details carry the weight: a visible state licence number, named client testimonials and a clear route for job applicants.
HOVER TO SCROLL
From brief to launch.
Confidential work meant I could not rely on case studies, so the timeline focused on finding other ways to prove the firm is legitimate.
-
01 discover
Working around secrecy
I listed what the firm could publicly share, which pointed to the licence number, client testimonials and service range.
-
02 plan
Trust before detail
I planned the page so credibility signals appear early and service specifics follow for those who want them.
-
03 design
Charcoal and red
I drew accents from the globe logo and chose understated security photography rather than dramatic stock shots.
-
04 build
Sections and grid
In WordPress I built the alternating service blocks, the investigations grid and the client testimonial row.
-
05 integrate
Contact and location
I added a brief enquiry form and a map marking the Tulsa office, plus the red hiring link in the header.
-
06 ✓ shipped
Readable on phones
I checked the headline over the dimmed skyline and the two-row mobile header before handing the site over.
The build, step by step.
- Facts over adjectives. The state licence number appears openly on the page, giving visitors something they can actually verify.
- Services in rhythm. Guarding and surveillance blocks alternate left and right, then a grid lists investigation types from IP disputes to compensation fraud.
- Hiring always visible. Job seekers get a red recruitment link in the header, because a guard company is almost always recruiting.
- Quiet, practical imagery. Charcoal backgrounds, red from the globe logo and photos of monitors, lenses and CCTV cameras keep the tone serious.
- A header that rearranges. On phones the logo gets its own row, and navigation plus the hiring link move beneath it.
