documented.

The goal is not to make every project look like KRD Websmith. The goal is to make each interface feel native to the business it represents.

01 / Context

What existed before

Automotive businesses in this category typically run a template site or a social profile. There was no prior KRD build to redesign, so this starts from the category itself: what a customer actually needs to see before they commit.

02 / Problem

What was not working

Detailing websites often use the same aggressive template language, which makes businesses blur together.

03 / Direction

The design approach

Use strong typography, confident contrast, package clarity, and fewer but stronger calls to action.

04 / Build

How it was implemented

Hand-written semantic HTML and CSS with a small amount of JavaScript. A single type and spacing system, real photography, and no framework overhead — so the page stays fast and the layout holds at every width.

05 / Mobile

How it adapts

The phone layout is designed, not stacked. Type scales down deliberately, touch targets stay large, metadata compresses, and the primary action stays reachable without hunting.
