# SBS Certifications & Affiliations Carousel

## Overview

The SBSWI "About Us" page currently displays certification logos and affiliation badges in a scattered, unstructured layout — described in review as "glopped on the page in a very weird way." The agreed solution is to consolidate all credentials into a single scrolling carousel, accompanied by general copy explaining the significance of manufacturer certification.

This article captures the content strategy, logo inventory, and copy direction for that carousel implementation.

## Problem

Certifications and affiliations were placed ad hoc on the About Us page, mixing manufacturer warranty logos (e.g., IKO, Genflex) with industry memberships (NRCA) and individual training credentials. Because these represent meaningfully different types of credentials, the visual result was confusing and undersold the value of each.

> "Geico is not the same as NRCA and it just all looks like it's kind of glopped on the page in a very weird way." — Brandon Aman

## Solution: Scrolling Carousel

All credential logos should be consolidated into a single horizontally scrolling carousel. The carousel removes the need to visually separate or stack credential types, and accommodates future logo additions without layout disruption.

### Logos to Include

| Credential | Type |
|---|---|
| Genflex | Manufacturer warranty authorization |
| IKO | Manufacturer warranty authorization |
| Geico | Manufacturer warranty authorization |
| Sherwin-Williams | Manufacturer warranty authorization |
| NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) | Industry membership |
| Brandon's personal certification | Individual training credential |

Additional logos are expected to be added as new certifications are obtained.

## Supporting Copy

Rather than displaying IKO-specific program language (which was the prior approach), the carousel should be accompanied by **general copy** explaining what it means to be authorized to offer a manufacturer's warranty. Key points to convey:

- SBSWI has been trained and approved directly by these manufacturers
- Manufacturer warranties cover **both labor and materials** for up to 20 years
- The warranty remains valid even if SBSWI were to go out of business
- Warranties are **transferable** if the building is sold — a significant value for commercial property owners
- Not all roofing contractors qualify; authorization signals a higher standard of workmanship

This copy should be written by Melissa's team based on technical notes provided by Brandon. The goal is to avoid "clunky" phrasing while preserving the technical accuracy Brandon brings as the subject matter expert.

## Placement on About Us Page

- The carousel sits within the existing certifications/approvals section of the About Us page
- The IKO-specific program detail block (previously embedded) should be removed and replaced with the generalized manufacturer warranty copy
- NRCA and individual training credentials scroll alongside manufacturer logos — no need for a separate "affiliations" subsection

| Owner | Task | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Melissa / Asymmetric | Implement scrolling carousel on About Us page | Assigned |
| Melissa / Asymmetric | Draft general copy on benefits of manufacturer warranty authorization | Assigned |
| Brandon | Continue sending technical notes and certification materials | Ongoing |
