Case Study: Modesto Junk Co.

Modesto Junk Co. needed a redesign that informed potential customers of their current services and their key differentiation among competition.

Client Overview

Modesto Junk Co. is a metal recycling center serving the Modesto area. They operate a physical location where customers can drop off scrap metal, and offer bin rental services for ongoing collection needs.

Their Competitive Advantage

Modesto Junk Co. pays the highest rates for scrap metal in their area.

Target Customers

  • Businesses – Consistent customers using bin rental services for ongoing metal recycling
  • Contractors – Project-based scrap metal removal
  • Individuals – One-time drop-offs at their physical location

The Challenge

When Modesto Junk Co. came to us, their existing website was holding them back:

  • Outdated design that didn’t reflect their professional service
  • Poor visual appeal that failed to inspire confidence
  • Outdated information that confused potential customers
  • Unclear service offerings – visitors couldn’t easily understand what they do or who they serve
  • Limited lead capture – only a basic contact form that didn’t serve different customer types

Most importantly, the website wasn’t helping them achieve their business goals: attracting more commercial customers who would provide consistent, ongoing business through bin rental services.

The Solution

We delivered a comprehensive website redesign, going above and beyond to ensure Modesto Junk Co. had a digital presence that matched their market-leading position.

Design Approach

We created a distinctive visual identity that reflects their industry while maintaining professionalism:

  • Metal-inspired design language – Jagged, metal-like edges throughout the site create a cohesive theme
  • Clean presentation – Modern layout with generous spacing for easy scanning
  • Clear communication – Organized content that immediately shows what they do and who they serve
  • Highlighting their advantage – Prominent messaging about their superior payout rates

Technical Implementation

User-Friendly CMS – Built with ease-of-use in mind, allowing the Modesto Junk Co. team to update content without coding knowledge or risk of breaking the design.

Targeted Forms – Replaced the generic contact form with purpose-built forms for:

  • New client inquiries and bin requests
  • Existing customer bin returns and renewals

Analytics Integration – Implemented comprehensive tracking to measure performance and inform future improvements.

Our Process

  1. Wireframing – Mapped out user flows and content structure
  2. Design – Created custom visual identity with metal-inspired elements
  3. Development – Built a robust, easy-to-maintain website
  4. Launch & Support – Deployed the new site with ongoing Sitecare services

The Results

The new website successfully addresses all of Modesto Junk Co.’s core challenges:

✓ Modern, professional design that builds trust with commercial customers
✓ Clear communication of services and competitive advantages
✓ Streamlined lead capture with customer-specific forms
✓ Easy content management for the client team
✓ Strong foundation for attracting consistent business customers

Client Feedback: The client is pleased with the final result and the professional online presence that now represents their business.

Ongoing Partnership
