Background
Nothing on the old site had ever been organised, so visitors could not work out what the brand stood for. On top of that, a large blog and a project login had been left unmaintained, and both made the experience worse.

The challenge
The team is small, and the state of the site was sending visitors away. We had to take things away and rebuild the experience — something that feels warm and professional, and that the team can actually keep up to date.
What we did
A strategic rebuild of the architecture
First, remove: the blog and the member login are gone, and the site now focuses on the developments and the brand. Everything about the projects sits in one place, so people can find the right one quickly.
UI/UX work
Built for older readers too: larger type, more spacing, and a navigation path you cannot miss. Good photography keeps it warm as well as professional.
Conversion and a back office that helps
The buttons sit where people make up their minds, which brings in more enquiries. A custom back office means anyone on the team can update the site.

Results
- Easier to read, and people stay longer
- More enquiries, and more of them worth having
- Far less work to keep it up to date

The design and the planning both went straight to the problems we had… the new site is not only warm and confident to look at, more importantly it became usable.
