Automotive Website Design

Automotive Website Design Brief
Full Scale Hot Rods & Customs is a Ventura-based shop known for top-tier hot rod restoration, fabrication, and award-winning builds. While their garage was turning heads, their outdated website wasn’t capturing the detail, artistry, or customer praise they’d earned. They needed a modern site that reflected the high quality of their work—and made it easier for new clients to trust them.
As a freelance designer and developer, I rebuilt their website with a sharp visual design, integrated social proof, and functionality that turned a passive site into a powerful marketing tool.
The Challenge
Full Scale’s previous site was more digital brochure than business asset. They needed a redesign that could:
- Showcase their portfolio with large, immersive visuals
- Centralize reviews from platforms like Google, Yelp, and Facebook
- Highlight media recognition and industry accolades
- Create a seamless, mobile-first user experience
- Convert visitors into inquiries and consultations
Their craftsmanship already set them apart—now they needed a site that backed it up.
My Solution
I developed a clean, custom WordPress site focused on visual storytelling and trust-building features.
Key upgrades included:
- Integrated review aggregation from Google, Yelp, and Facebook
- Media recognition section with clickable features and publication logos
- Visual-first portfolio layout to spotlight custom builds
- Mobile-optimized navigation and layout for on-the-go users
- Streamlined contact functionality to drive more inquiries
The result: a high-impact website that turns heads—and earns clicks.


The Outcome
Full Scale’s new website now:
- Provides a professional, mobile-friendly showcase for their custom builds
- Displays third-party reviews and media features on the homepage
- Strengthens trust with prospective clients through social proof
- Converts more visitors into consultations and service inquiries
- Reflects the passion and detail that defines their work
