Digital Presence
Diagnostic & Repair
01 What your customers see today
RUSCO has fifty years of reputation in Negros Oriental. The website is the first part of that reputation a customer meets — and today, the homepage is still wearing the template it was delivered in.
Everything below was verified live on 24 August 2026, from the outside, as any visitor would see it. Screenshots are unretouched.

Concept
| Where | What a customer encounters |
|---|---|
| Homepage slider | Placeholder text on both headline slides — the two banners above. This is the first screen of the site. |
| Google & social preview | The site has no page description. Its title is the
generic Home - RUSCO Motors — no mention of motorcycles,
parts, service, financing, or Negros Oriental. When the link is shared on
Facebook or Viber, the preview text reads simply
“Home”. |
| Contact page | No contact form. Phone numbers and the email address are plain text — on a phone they cannot be tapped to call or email. The only interactive channel is a Messenger pop-up that requires a Facebook account and displays a third party's branding (“Powered by ThemeAtelier”). |
| Email vs. website | The site is ruscomotorsgroup.net, but every address
published on it ends in @ruscomotorsgroup.com — and that
.com address leads to no website at all. A customer who
types it in gets an error page. |
| News page | “News & Updates” is empty — zero posts. A dead section in the main menu signals the site is abandoned. |
| Your Facebook page is the opposite of the website — active, posting sold units and promotions. The website links to it nowhere. The two work against each other. | |
| Page weight | A first visit downloads roughly 7 MB across 75 files (measured in a test browser) — with full-size images in the slider. On Philippine mobile data, that is a slow, expensive first impression. |
| Leftover debris | Two images inside the homepage slider return “not found” — template assets that were never replaced, still being requested on every visit. |
02 What this costs you
Nobody decides to skip a dealership because of a website — they decide quietly. A buyer in Dumaguete compares you with every other seller on their phone before driving to Sibulan. Against a page that says “This is demo marketing description”, any competitor with a finished site wins that comparison without saying a word.
The gap is widest exactly where you are strongest. Fifty years, six companies, an in-house lending arm, real inventory on the lot — none of it is on the site. And the customer who is ready to act today cannot tap a single phone number on your contact page to do something about it.
03 What is already working
For fairness and for planning — this is not a broken site, it is an unfinished one:
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Security certificate | Valid, auto-renewed (Google Trust Services, in place until October 2026). Visitors get no browser warnings. |
| Pages | All 14 pages of the site load correctly — no dead links. |
| Mobile layout | Renders correctly at phone width; no broken layout. |
| Location | The Contact page embeds a Google Map pointing at the Main Branch in Sibulan. |
| Platform | WordPress, current version, professionally hosted. A sound foundation to build on. |
The problems in section 01 are matters of content and finishing — not reconstruction. That is why the fix below is measured in days, not weeks.
04 What I propose
Step 1 — Diagnostic
One day inside the site, end to end: hosting, the WordPress setup, content, search configuration, and what is being measured (if anything is). Delivered as a written report in plain English, with a priority list and a fixed plan for Step 2 — approved by you before any work begins.
Provided access credentials are available and no blockers arise on your side. Fully deducted from Step 2 if you proceed — the diagnostic costs you nothing when the rebuild goes ahead.
Step 2 — Rebuild
The concept demo linked below becomes the real site, on your own domain: real copy in place of the placeholder text, the full unit lineup with photos and prices, tap-to-call phone numbers and working contact paths, page titles and social previews that say what RUSCO is, the Facebook page linked, the empty News section either filled or removed, and page weight brought down to mobile-friendly. Built mobile-first, installed and maintained on your infrastructure, verified on a phone before handover.
Two milestones: 50% to start, 50% at handover. For reference, a Manila agency quotes ₱150,000 and up for a comparable rebuild — before monthly fees.
Afterwards — Site care & marketing ops
Optional, and only if you want it: monthly upkeep — content carried over from your Facebook activity, uptime and certificate monitoring, and a one-page report each month on what the site brought in. The goal is a site that keeps earning after the rebuild, not a project that ends.
₱25,000 per month, cancel anytime.
05 Next step
Reply to this proposal, or message me directly, with a go-ahead for Step 1. I will need hosting and WordPress credentials, and thirty minutes with whoever knows where those details live. Work starts within 48 hours of approval.
