Cheetah Screens offers financing through Enhancify — a third-party financing platform built for home improvement contractors. Out of the box, Enhancify’s payment calculator widget renders in its default blue-and-green color scheme, which clashes badly with Cheetah Screens’ dark green and gold brand. This meta article documents how our team at Local Service Spotlight rebuilt the financing page from scratch and themed the Enhancify widget to match the brand — without access to Enhancify’s source code.
Task Summary
Client: Cheetah Screens, Jacksonville FL. The financing page was imported from Squarespace as raw HTML and needed a complete rebuild. Assignment: create a professionally designed financing page that matches the site’s dark green (#3A3A37) and gold (#BD921E) brand palette, integrates Enhancify‘s payment calculator, and explains the financing offer clearly to homeowners. This was part of the larger Cheetah Screens site migration.
What the Page Needed to Do
The Squarespace financing page was a simple placeholder with a headline and an Enhancify embed. What a home services financing page actually needs to do is different: reduce friction for homeowners who are interested but hesitant about cost, show them what a real monthly payment looks like before they call, and give them a clear path to apply.
Page Structure
Section 1: Hero Banner
A dark-to-gold gradient banner (left to right: #3A3A37 to #BD921E) with the headline “Flexible Financing for Your Outdoor Living Project.” Gold “APPLY NOW” CTA button links to Enhancify‘s application.
Section 2: Financing Features (8-Icon Grid)
An 8-icon, 4-column grid highlighting key benefits: No Hard Credit Check, Fast Approval, Competitive Rates, Flexible Terms, No Prepayment Penalty, Available for All Projects, Trusted by Contractors, and Simple Online Application. Each icon uses the brand’s dark green with a gold accent. This section answers the “is this legitimate?” question before the homeowner reaches the calculator.
Section 3: Payment Calculator (Themed)
The Enhancify realwidget embedded and themed to match Cheetah Screens‘ brand. See theming details below.
Section 4: How It Works (3 Steps)
A three-step visual process: Apply Online → Get Approved → Start Your Project. Reduces hesitation for homeowners unfamiliar with home improvement financing.
Section 5: FAQ Accordion
Four frequently asked questions: minimum project size, impact on credit score, approval speed, and what happens after approval — addressing the four hesitations that stop homeowners from applying.
Theming the Enhancify Widget
Enhancify‘s payment calculator is a JavaScript-rendered widget that injects its own styles. The default color scheme is blue and green — entirely wrong for Cheetah Screens. We couldn’t modify Enhancify’s source, but we could override their styles with higher-specificity CSS applied after the widget renders.
Key overrides applied:
- Primary buttons:
background: #BD921E(gold) instead of default blue - Result box background:
#3A3A37(dark green) instead of default green - Result box text: white for contrast
- Slider track color: gold accent to match the input state
- Border accents: gold instead of blue
The overrides were added as page-level Custom CSS (not in the global plugin) since they only apply to the financing page.
The Staging Domain Limitation
Enhancify‘s realwidget is domain-whitelisted to the production domain (cheetahscreens.com). On the WP Engine staging subdomain, the “Apply Now” button in the widget doesn’t fire — it’s blocked by Enhancify’s CORS policy. On staging, we linked the CTA button to /financing/ instead. This staging behavior resolves automatically at DNS cutover. We documented this in Basecamp to prevent the client from mistaking a staging limitation for a broken feature.
Critical Decisions
Rebuild the entire page, not just embed the widget. A full page with clear navigation and CTAs also means more opportunities to apply strategic internal links to related service pages. Dropping an Enhancify widget into an empty page doesn’t convert. The trust-building sections — features grid, How It Works, FAQ — are what make homeowners confident enough to enter their information.
Override styles post-render, not pre-render. Enhancify renders after page load. Applying brand overrides at page load time means they’re in place before the user sees the widget — but we still had to use !important declarations on some properties to beat Enhancify’s inline styles.
Document the staging limitation proactively. Clients and account managers who don’t know about domain whitelist restrictions will file a bug report for what is actually expected behavior. Getting ahead of it in Basecamp prevented unnecessary escalation.

What the Agent Could and Could Not Do
Handled autonomously: Full page HTML and CSS build, Enhancify embed integration, brand color theming via CSS overrides, staging vs. production behavior documentation, Gutenberg Custom HTML block publish.
Required human input: Enhancify account credentials and widget code snippet, client review of feature list copy, final publish approval.
