01 / The brief

Make foundation questions easier to answer.

Back to the portfolio

TrueLevel helps Central Texas homeowners understand foundation movement before choosing a next step. Its content connects repair questions to local geology, while an address lookup turns public geographic data into an accessible explanation of the ground beneath a property. The site brings educational content, interactive tools, and a specialist referral flow together.

Foundation movement is difficult for a homeowner to assess. Surface symptoms look similar even when the underlying soil, drainage, and construction conditions differ.

Central Texas geology changes across relatively short distances. Useful local guidance needs more specificity than replacing a city name in a generic repair article.

The site must help visitors understand their options while making clear that an online tool is not a site inspection.

How TrueLevel works

02 / The approach

How the pieces
came together.

From the underlying data to the moment someone uses the product, each decision serves the work.

  1. 01

    Structure the educational content

    Typed Astro collections organize costs, foundation types, repair methods, problems, guides, and local geology. Concise answers give each page a clear starting point, followed by supporting explanation.

  2. 02

    Ground area guides in local geology

    A curated soil reference supports 75 area guides, including cities and neighborhoods. The guides describe local conditions and connect readers with related repair topics.

  3. 03

    Connect an address to geographic evidence

    The soil lookup geocodes an address with the US Census service, uses Nominatim as a fallback, and queries USGS geology for the location. A curated mapping translates the geological result into a preliminary risk explanation.

  4. 04

    Hydrate the tools where they are needed

    Astro serves the content alongside React-powered tools such as the cost estimator and soil lookup. Validated intake connects the public site to a Supabase-backed referral flow.

03 / Inside the product

From a property address to useful context.

Detail / 01

The map and the explanation belong together

The geographic lookup leads to readable context about the geological unit and its relevance to foundation movement, giving a homeowner more than a pin on a map.

Detail / 02

Content that can be found and understood

Structured metadata, concise answer fields, and machine-readable site information make the material easier for search engines and answer tools to interpret.

Detail / 03

A useful first step

Educational pages, local guides, and the lookup help visitors prepare better questions for a professional assessment. The site presents that role directly.

What this makes possible

  • Live at trueleveltx.com with area-specific foundation guidance and interactive tools.
  • The address lookup combines geocoding fallbacks, public geology, and a curated explanatory layer.
  • Typed content and structured metadata support ongoing expansion of the resource.
