All work

La Barca Auto

smog and auto service

Open or closed, call or text, in English or Spanish. The shop updates its own photos.

Fourteen seconds, no sound.

The headache

Most smog-check customers are already driving. They want the hours, a way to reach the shop, and their own language. The old site was on a hosted builder.

  • In the way: Customers are split between English and Spanish.

    The fix: The full site, nav included, runs in both. One tap switches.

  • In the way: Drivers shouldn't have to work out the hours.

    The fix: The page says open or closed, from the shop's real hours.

  • In the way: New photos shouldn't need a developer.

    The fix: The shop has its own photo manager.

  • In the way: A site on a hosted builder is rented.

    The fix: I moved it to its own hosting.

The home page, captured live. Desktop layout, scaled to fit. Visit labarcaauto.com.

A family-run smog and auto shop in San Bernardino, bilingual end to end. The pitch is speed, and the page answers one question fast: can I drive in now?

Up close

The first screenThe promise, then call, directions and text. Call is the only solid blue button.
Every service, one stopOne plain list, a row each, tagged where most asked for or same-day.

The look, and why

White, with a deep navy, #0c1c36, for the text and one blue, #1350d0, for the call button. A smog check is bought on trust, so a bright, plain page with the shop's own photo says there's nothing to hide. All Manrope: heavy headline, regular body. A navy strip up top says whether it's open and when it closes.
