What changed
We ran the same check on both builds.
Local copies measured with Lighthouse's phone settings on October 23, 2026.
A fitting action in view
The old site keeps its contact link in the footer. The redesign puts a fitting request in the first screen and keeps a call button on screen.

Text you can read
The old body copy is small on a phone. The redesign sets it larger.
Before12 px
After16 px
Buttons big enough to tap
The old menu and links are small to tap. The redesigned buttons and links are at least 44 px.
Before17 px
After44 px
Clearer text contrast
The old muted text fails the contrast audit. The redesign uses cream text and sage buttons on a dark cedar background.
Before10 failing elements
After0 failing elements
A page description
The old home page has no description. The redesign includes one that names the service and city.

What we kept
We read the old site's colors, font and logo first, then kept them. Cedar Thread still looks like Cedar Thread.
