About this demonstration

Mesquite & Mortar is a fictional company. This website is a BrightSpan Digital portfolio demonstration of its $850 Starter Website package.

What is real and what is not

  • Fictional: the company, its history, staff, promises, prices, timelines, service area and the sample reviews.
  • Unreachable on purpose: the phone number uses the 555-01XX range reserved for fiction, and the email address uses the reserved .example domain.
  • Nothing is sent: the estimate form validates entries in your browser and then explains that nothing was transmitted.
  • Stock photography: every photo is a CC0 (public-domain) stock image. None shows work by the fictional company.
  • Simulated before image: the “before” side of the comparison slider was created digitally from the same stock photo as the “after” side.
  • Not in search results: every page asks search engines not to index it.

What the $850 Starter Website includes

A finished, responsive website with a home page, two service pages, a project gallery with a photo viewer, a contact page with a validated request form, privacy and error pages, click-to-call throughout, on-page search basics and a central settings file for every business detail. For a real client, the form is connected to a form service in the client's own name, and their own photos and reviews replace the demonstration content.
