A website that finally matched the quality of their work

The firm had built its reputation over fifteen years of complex structural and civil work across South Australia. Their portfolio spoke for itself — but their website didn’t speak for the portfolio. Prospective clients arriving through referral were finding a site that looked five years out of date, with copy that read like a generic firm brochure and project galleries that buried the most impressive work three clicks deep.

The leadership team had heard, directly and indirectly, that prospects were sometimes choosing competitors after visiting the website. That was the breaking point. The brief was clear: a site that did justice to the work, made the firm’s specialist disciplines obvious, and could be maintained internally without us in the loop.

We rebuilt the site end-to-end over four months — strategy, copy, design, WordPress development, SEO foundation. Within ninety days of launch, average time on site had more than doubled, bounce rate dropped by two-thirds, and the firm’s primary service keyword was ranking first on Google for the South Australian market.
