Company Site

Tech Knowledge Express

The public site for a firm that works three trades at once: low-voltage contracting, software, and hardware design. The pitch it has to carry is that these are one team rather than three vendors โ€” the people pulling cable talk to the people writing the firmware โ€” so the site is built around a single point of contact into any of the three.

What it does

Four public sections, one for each practice plus contact, and a client login area. Contracting covers smart home, security, fire, access control, cameras and video management, and structured cabling in buildings that make it difficult โ€” complex and historical facilities where the easy route does not exist. Software runs concept through design, build, review and App Store launch, including API work. Hardware takes a sketch through schematic, prototype and test to something manufacturable.

Highlights

  • Written to answer the real objection โ€” a firm claiming three specialities reads as a jack of all trades, so the site leads with licensing, insurance and the prime-or-subcontractor question rather than a services grid.
  • Static and self-hosted โ€” hand-written HTML and CSS on the same droplet as everything else here, behind nginx with a Let's Encrypt certificate. Nothing to patch, nothing to keep paying for.
  • Client login area โ€” a private entrance for project clients, separate from the marketing pages.
  • Built for phones first โ€” the navigation collapses to a single row that keeps the brand, the log-in link and the menu toggle together, which took several passes to get right at narrow widths.
