Gonzo's Automotive — design directions

Nine takes on the one-page site. H · I · J · K are the rugged garage family (same bones, different color worlds — vintage green, steel, service-station navy, speed-shop black). A · B are the earlier looks. E · F · G differ in structure — what the page leads with (booking · reviews · service menu). Mix a look with a structure.

Open each, then tell me which to build for real — or mix elements (e.g. "F's review wall on top of B's layout"). You can also pick one look + one structure.

A · Industrial
Look: bold & mechanical

Work-order / spec-sheet

Dark graphite, electric-blue accent, condensed type, stamped credential cards. Distinctive and tough — reads colder. (Built in React.)

Open direction A
B · Warm & friendly
Leads with: the owner & team

People-first / story

Warm cream, blue + honest green, soft cards. Owner note, meet-the-team, testimonials, guarantee. Approachable and human.

Open direction B
E · Booking-first
Leads with: a scheduling form

Conversion / "book now"

A real-looking appointment form sits in the hero. "Three steps, no surprises." Built to turn a visit into a booked job fast.

Open direction E
F · Reviews-first
Leads with: a 4.9★ rating wall

Social proof up front

A giant rating greets you, then a wall of Google-style reviews before anything else. Credibility first — "your neighbours trust us."

Open direction F
G · Service-menu
Leads with: transparent pricing

Honest menu / transparency

A categorized service menu with starting prices and "free estimate first." Trust through showing exactly what things cost.

Open direction G
H · Garage Heritage
Look: rugged & textured

Enamel-badge / vintage

Textured paper & steel, racing green + oxblood + brass, billboard type, an enamel service badge, gritty duotone photo. Reads like a real garage, not a SaaS app.

Open direction H
I · Steel & Oxblood
Look: industrial & tough

Brushed steel + oxblood

Same rugged bones, cooler and harder: charcoal & steel with oxblood and brushed-steel trim. Less vintage, more heavy-duty workshop.

Open direction I
J · Service-Station Navy
Look: American retro

Navy + cream + enamel red

Classic roadside service-station: deep navy, bone cream, enamel red, chrome trim. Friendly-retro and dependable.

Open direction J
K · Speed-Shop Black
Look: hot-rod tough

Near-black + bold red + chrome

The toughest of the set: blackwall background, a single bold red, chrome accents. Performance / hot-rod attitude.

Open direction K

All share the same business facts and the real Ontario credentials (310S · Red Seal · MVIS). In B/E/F/G the owner note, team names, reviews, and prices are placeholders until you supply real ones; photos are license-free stock stand-ins.
