The Problem

Building inspection is a crowded, largely undifferentiated market in Adelaide, where most operators present themselves in near-identical terms and compete on price. Artekton needed a website that set them apart rather than blending into a directory listing. They also needed the ability to keep that site fresh themselves, since a business built on trust and expertise has to look active rather than abandoned. By 2021 there was a second problem: the original site had been built before mobile-first browsing became the default, with separate desktop and mobile versions rather than one unified experience.

 

What JABA Built

Artekton was one of the first JABA XPress websites launched, back in 2016. The client was very open to using interesting graphics to differentiate their business from the competition, and the site was built to take advantage of that. JABA then integrated the desktop and mobile websites, redesigning them as a single site with a completely new app-like viewing experience. In 2021 the platform was upgraded to a Progressive Web App and the site structure was rebuilt to meet current best practice, delivering faster performance, improved navigation and stronger SEO properties.

 

What Was Technically Interesting

The move from separate desktop and mobile sites to one unified, app-like experience is a bigger change than it sounds. Running two versions of a site means two sets of content to maintain, split SEO signals across two URLs, and an inconsistent experience depending on which device a visitor arrives on. Consolidating them into a single PWA fixed all three at once. The other genuinely useful piece is the content management side: because graphics can be changed very quickly and easily by the client, Artekton can keep the site visually fresh without a developer booking. For a small operator competing against larger firms, that difference between "we can update this today" and "we will get to it next quarter" is what determines whether a site stays current or slowly goes stale.

 

Business Outcome

Artekton has a single, fast, mobile-first platform with visual differentiation in a market where most competitors look the same, and full control to refresh that visual content whenever they choose. The 2021 restructure improved navigation and SEO properties, which matters in a category where almost every customer arrives through a search rather than a referral chain.

 

Why JABA Was Chosen

Artekton has been a JABA client since 2016, as one of the earliest XPress builds. When the platform needed rebuilding five years later, they came back to JABA rather than going to market. A client staying through a full platform generation is a more meaningful endorsement than a single successful project.
