Rebuilds
You have a site and it is holding you back. We keep what works, fix the structure, and make it read properly on a phone.
Websites for architects, builders and structural engineers.
The newel is the post at the foot of a staircase. Everything else is anchored to it. That is the job we do for a practice online.
Practices that produce exacting buildings very often have a site that does not show it. Usually because it was built once, years ago, by whoever was cheapest, and nobody has had a reason to look at it since.
You have a site and it is holding you back. We keep what works, fix the structure, and make it read properly on a phone.
You have run on word of mouth and a social page. This is the version that stands on its own when somebody looks you up at eleven at night.
One finished building, photographed properly and written up so it can be sent to a client on its own.
A structural engineer and an interiors studio are not selling the same thing, so they should not get the same website. These are working pages, running live below. Open any of them and use it.
These are demonstrations, not client projects. The practices shown do not exist. We built them to show how each trade is handled differently, and they will be replaced by real work as it ships.
Every approach we send names something specific and checkable about your own site. No guessing, and nothing you cannot verify in ten seconds.
| Check | Why it costs you work |
|---|---|
| Phone layout | A page with no viewport rule has to be pinched and zoomed. Most people looking up a practice are on a phone. |
| Certificate | A site on plain http shows a Not Secure warning in the address bar. First time visitors leave when they see it. |
| Load time | Enquiries fall away sharply past about three seconds, and most practice sites are heavier than they need to be. |
| Contact route | No phone number or email on the homepage means somebody ready to call has to go looking, and often does not. |
| Last touched | A footer still showing a year from a while back makes an active practice look quiet. |
| Page title | A missing or default title is what search results show. It is the first thing anyone reads about you. |
| Placeholder | A holding page, a parked domain or a dead link. More common than you would think, and invisible from the inside. |
No retainer you cannot leave, no platform that holds your content hostage, and no monthly fee to change a phone number.
Or one page done properly, if that is genuinely all you need. We will say which.
Each building gets what it needed, what you did, and photographs shown at a size worth looking at.
Designed at 390 pixels wide before it is designed for a laptop, because that is where it will mostly be read.
Under 1.5 seconds on a normal mobile connection, and we will show you the measurement.
The files, the domain, the hosting account. Nothing is registered in our name.
A short written guide for the one thing you will actually want to do without calling anyone.
We go through the list on your current site and send you what we found. This costs nothing and you keep it whether or not we work together.
Before you commit to anything, we build a single real page of your new site so you can open it on your own phone. Not a mockup and not a slide.
Two to four weeks depending on how many projects go in. You watch it go up on a live link as it happens, not at the end.
It goes live on your domain. You get the files, the logins and a short written guide. Nothing is locked to us.
This page meets every line below, and so does each demonstration above. Open the developer tools and check. That is the point of publishing them.
| Measure | Target |
|---|---|
| First load | Under 1.5 seconds on a normal 4G connection |
| Page weight | Under 500 KB for a full page including images |
| Without scripts | The whole site still reads with JavaScript switched off |
| Contrast | WCAG AA on every piece of text, checked rather than assumed |
| Trackers | None by default. If you want analytics we will use something that does not follow people around |
| Third parties | No fonts, scripts or styles loaded from anyone else's server |
| Ownership | Plain files. Any developer can pick it up after us |
Better to say so here than three weeks in.
One line with your web address is enough. We go through the seven checks and write back with what we found, whether or not there is anything in it for us. No call required, and nothing gets added to a list.
