Rescue Richi

A website for Richard, a one-man handyman business in Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Cleaning, terraces, painting, moves, outdoor work and the odd jobs that have waited too long. The whole site is built on one idea: every job has a before and an after.

The rescuerichi.be homepage: the headline Opgelost over a roof terrace, split by an orange line into a clean half and a dirty half

The job

Richard works alone. He comes to look, he does the work and he answers the phone himself. The site has to make that clear in a few seconds, and it has to sell work that is hard to put into words: a terrace that was green and is grey again, a hedge that is straight again.

The idea

Don’t describe it, show it. One orange line divides before from after, and it runs through the whole site. On the homepage it sweeps across a roof terrace and settles partway, with a counter that reads how much of the photo is already done. In the gallery you drag it yourself. The headline is one word: Opgelost.

Front

  • A before and after line that sweeps across the hero photo on load
  • Seven services set large in Archivo, in navy with one orange
  • Four steps from photos to a clean result, each with a photo from a real job
  • Four projects to compare by dragging, with material, region and photo count
  • The work area drawn as rings of 10 and 20 km instead of an embedded map

Back

  • A quote form that takes up to ten photos or PDFs, 25 MB in total, iPhone HEIC files included
  • Cloudflare Turnstile against spam, so nobody has to solve a puzzle
  • Phone prefixes for six countries with Belgium preset, and a 1000 character limit with a live count
  • The VAT number in the footer links straight to the official Belgian business register
  • A live counter for attachments and total size, so a file that is too big is caught before anything is sent
Services section titled Wat kan ik voor u doen, with Klusjesdienst, Schoonmaak and Terrasreiniging set large
Seven services, one line each. The intro says it plainly: if your job isn’t listed, ask anyway.
Dark navy process section with step 03, Uitvoering van de werken, next to a photo of a terrace that is half cleaned
How a job runs, in four steps. The photo stays pinned while the steps scroll past. In step three the terrace is half done, one clean strip at a time.
Gallery project Dakterras met keramische tegels with a drag handle between the after and before photo
The same orange line, now with a handle. Every project lists its material, region and number of photos.
Work area section with Sint-Lievens-Houtem in the centre of two rings and nearby towns such as Gent, Aalst and Zottegem
Where he works, drawn rather than embedded: Sint-Lievens-Houtem in the middle, the towns within half an hour around it.
Contact section Vertel wat er moet gebeuren with a quote form and a drop zone for attachments
The form asks for a short description and invites photos. Files can be dropped straight onto it.
Three phone screens of rescuerichi.be: the hero, a before and after project and the services list
On a phone the menu folds into one button, the quote button goes full width and the slider handle is sized for a thumb.

Where it is now

Live in Dutch at rescuerichi.be. Requests arrive with photos attached, so a job can be priced before the first visit, and every finished job is one more before and after for the gallery.
