American Standard Testing

WordPress Design, Laboratory Service Silos, and Professional Certification Strategy.

I designed a specialized digital platform for American Standard Testing using WordPress and the Enfold theme. Because their work is grounded in laboratory precision and regulatory compliance, the design focuses on a highly structured, data-driven layout. I prioritized a professional aesthetic that immediately signals authority to engineers, architects, and government contractors.

The site’s architecture is built around Laboratory Service Silos, ensuring that technical data for soil, concrete, asphalt, and environmental testing is easy to find and navigate. I also integrated a streamlined consultation system, allowing project managers to request specific ASTM-compliant testing services through a clean, high-contrast interface optimized for both the office and the job site.

American Testing Services

“For a technical firm like American Standard Testing, the website is more than a brochure—it’s a proof of accuracy. I focused on a clean, structured design that mirrors the precision of their lab work, ensuring their technical expertise is the first thing a client sees.” — Doug Walker

The Challenge

The primary challenge was organizing a vast range of highly technical services—from geotechnical drilling to non-destructive material inspections—into a format that felt professional rather than overwhelming. As an independent lab, they needed a design that proved their technical credentials (like ACI and NICET certifications) were as solid as the materials they test.

The Strategy

The design strategy focused on “Credential Authority.” We moved away from generic stock-heavy visuals and instead highlighted the actual laboratory environment and specific testing standards (ASTM). By creating a clear hierarchy for their services, we ensured that high-stakes clients—who are often working under tight deadlines—could find the exact compliance data they needed without unnecessary scrolling.

The Solution

  • Technical Service Silos: Dedicated navigation for Geotechnical, Material Testing, and Environmental services to maximize SEO and clarity.
  • Certification Showcases: High-visibility areas for professional credentials and lab accreditations to build immediate trust.
  • Mobile-First Intake: A responsive “Request a Quote” system designed for field engineers to initiate testing requests directly from their phones.

The Result

The new platform has successfully established American Standard Testing as a premier digital authority in the compliance space. While the customer has since updated the site internally, the original design provided a fast, secure, and professional framework that accurately mirrored the precision and reliability of their laboratory work.
