Silver State Air — the experience

The Silver State Air problem-first navigation — a navy grid of symptoms: NOT COOLING, WON'T TURN ON, MAKING NOISE, and a bright blue TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING tile. — Problem-first — the house's symptoms, not HVAC categories.

The Silver State Air intelligent intake — a free-text field, TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON, with quick-pick chips and a note that it routes rather than diagnoses. — Intake — a description becomes a routed service request.

The Silver State Air services index — a full set of dedicated HVAC service pages. — Dedicated service pages carry the depth.

The Silver State Air Henderson service-area page — local structure for one city. — A page per service area, not one giant homepage.

The Silver State Air homepage on a phone — the hero film under 115° OUTSIDE with a persistent call bar. — The dispatcher, on a phone.

The Silver State Air problem-first grid on a phone — one symptom per tap. — Problem-first, one tap.

The brief

In Southern Nevada, a broken air conditioner is not a casual browsing problem. The customer is hot, the house is getting hotter, and they need to understand what to do and reach someone quickly.

The experience was designed around one thing: reducing the distance between the problem and the fix.

Problem
Understanding
Action

01Nevada as the brand

Desert heat, stucco streets, the Spring Mountains, outdoor condensers, technicians, and the gap between a brutal exterior and a comfortable interior. The experience is geographically specific on sight — not a generic contractor template.

02Temperature as the visual language

Outside115°Inside72°

115° is the problem. 72° is the outcome. Temperature carries the identity — not generic snowflakes or a red-and-blue template. The reading moves as you scroll.

03The homepage as dispatcher

The homepage doesn't try to say everything. It routes quickly toward emergency service, the problem you're experiencing, intelligent intake, scheduling or calling, and the relevant service page. Detailed information belongs on dedicated pages.

The emergency conversion band — 24/7 dispatch, call and schedule, straight after the film. — Route first. Explain later.

04Problem-first navigation

People think in symptoms, not industry taxonomy. The homepage asks what the house is doing and sends them to the page built for it. “Not sure” drops into the intake instead.

Not cooling
Won't turn on
Making noise
Weak airflow
Power bill too high
Need a new system
Just need maintenance

The problem-first grid — NOT COOLING, WON'T TURN ON, MAKING NOISE, WEAK AIRFLOW, POWER BILL TOO HIGH, NEED A NEW SYSTEM, JUST NEED MAINTENANCE. — Symptoms, in the customer's words.

05Intelligent intake

“Tell us what's going on.” A homeowner's plain-language description is turned into useful structured context before scheduling and service.

Naked City's rule: never add AI because we can — add it when it removes friction between “I’m interested” and “I’m a customer.” The intake collects and routes, and escalates obvious safety situations to “turn it off and call.” It does not provide a diagnosis of the equipment.

06Local search architecture

The concept demonstrates how a local-service experience can support dedicated service pages and service-area pages — real structure a search engine can read — rather than stuffing everything onto one giant homepage.

The services index — a full set of dedicated HVAC service pages. — Structure, not a wall of text.

The film

We didn't shoot it. We cut it — choosing two source clips, retiming the aerial descent so the valley reads, dissolving into the gauge work, grading both shots to one hard-daylight register, and baking a soft loop seam so it never hard-cuts on screen.

It runs behind three temperature beats — 115° to 72° — and holds its last frame the moment the visitor scrolls into the dispatcher.

The cut moves through

We weren't decorating an HVAC site. We were building the ten seconds between a hot house and a booked technician.

The system

Seven disciplines, one job: get a hot Nevada house to a booked technician with the fewest possible steps.

Creative direction set the register. The film set the stakes. UX, conversion design and a local search structure did the routing. Intelligent intake removed the friction between “I’m interested” and “I’m a customer.”

We create how a business looks and feels to the world.

115° outside. 72° inside. That's the job.
