Total E'Clips
LiveA web-design and local-SEO build for a Cache Valley client
Built by Caden Sorenson · Launched April 2026
The project
Total E’Clips is a long-running local business that had been around for over forty years with no website at all. The organizing detail for the build: there is no front desk, so the site had to route each visitor to a specific direct contact rather than to a generic main line. Everything on the page follows from that constraint.
The build
A single-page responsive site that gives the client a real online presence and sends each visitor to the right direct contact. The 2026 redesign restructured the page around those direct links, which the first version had buried behind a “Call to Book” modal. Pull the useful thing to the front, drop the modal.
Key features
- Direct-contact cards with
tel:links, the spine of the page rather than a footnote - Verbatim Google reviews naming the reviewer, alongside the client’s 4.9 rating
- Cache Valley service-area section covering Logan, Hyde Park, Richmond, Providence, and the rest of the valley
- Local-business JSON-LD with per-person employee entries, aggregate rating, and an FAQ block
- Sourced operating details: only claims the reviews and public listing actually supported
- Scroll reveals via IntersectionObserver that respect
prefers-reduced-motion, with content never hidden behind JavaScript - Embedded map and click-to-call links, with no unmonitored contact form
Design
The direction is called “Totality.” The client’s name is an eclipse pun, so the page is built from an eclipse’s two states: a dark hero with a gold-rimmed disc of light rising into it, then a bright page below. The palette comes from the client’s own storefront sign, a deep maroon board with cream serif lettering, rendered as an oxblood-black (#1E1216) against a corona gold (#E8B44C). Type is Fraunces over Karla. Everything lives in CSS custom properties, so the whole theme moves from one place.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Total E'Clips is one example of Vient's client work for local businesses. Vient builds fast, modern websites for small businesses across Cache Valley, Utah. The contact page is the fastest way to start a project.
- It's three files: one HTML, one CSS, one JavaScript. That keeps it loading instantly, easy to host cheaply, and simple to maintain, which is the right tradeoff for a single-page small-business marketing site.
- The page was restructured to route each visitor to a direct contact, replacing a booking modal that had buried those links. First-name-only testimonials were swapped for verbatim Google reviews that name the reviewer, unsupported claims were pared back to what the reviews and listing actually supported, and the visual direction was rebuilt in a palette drawn from the client's own storefront sign.

- From the blogBuilding a Single-Page Client Site, Mostly by Prompting ClaudeA local client had an Instagram and no website. I gave Claude the right prompt, all the real details, and a styling direction, and it built the three files. The hard part was getting the content, not the code.
