Civil engineering design, Wigan

From one page to a site developers trust

A one-page WordPress site became eleven pages that show developers exactly what ALD do, and who they will be dealing with, before they ring.

Who they are

ALD Design is a civil engineering design consultancy in Wigan, run by Anthony Peet. Before anything gets built, someone has to design the drainage, roads, levels and infrastructure and get it approved. That’s them.

What needed fixing

Their customers are housebuilders and developers, and they pick a design firm they trust. ALD’s old site was a single WordPress page that didn’t come close to showing what they actually do.

What I built

Eleven pages, including one for each of their five services, so a developer looking for help with surface water drainage lands on a page about exactly that.

The most important thing goes up front: the work is done by a senior engineer who answers the phone. The housebuilders they already work for are there in the hero. And the contact page tells you what happens after you get in touch, which sounds small but it’s the bit most sites forget.

Where it’s at now

Live at alddesign.co.uk. It finally looks like the firm ALD are.

Forty years of happy customers in Wigan, and a website that didn't show any of it. Now it does, and booking an engineer is easy.

Foot-Tech Academy

532 blog posts, six booking forms and all their Google rankings, moved off WordPress to a fast new site without changing a single web address.

Steel fabrication, Burscough

Lancashire Fabrications

They do the lot, from stockholding and CNC profiling to fabrication and installation. The old site didn't say so. The new one does, and getting a quote is easy.
