When Stephen at County Durham Building & Joinery reached out to me, he was looking for a fresh start for his online presence. With a website that was around 11 years old, the timing was right for a complete overhaul that would bring his digital footprint up to the high standard of his craftsmanship.
Stephen is a real character with a genuine passion for quality work. However, like many busy business owners, he had very specific criteria for his new website:
No plugin headaches: Self-described as a total technophobe, Stephen needed a solution where he wouldn't be constantly bugged by technical updates or backend maintenance.
Easy project showcases: He needed a straightforward way to upload photos and post updates about recent joinery and building work without spending hours figuring out complex software.
Accessible downloads: He wanted his digital company brochure hosted front-and-centre so potential clients could easily download it directly from the site.
Delivering the Solution
To solve these pain points, I built a fresh, modern website designed to elevate his brand and showcase the exceptional quality of his team's work. By building on a platform that handles backend updates automatically, Stephen will never have to worry about plugin reminders or technical maintenance again.
Updating his portfolio with new project photos and news is now a simple, seamless process he can manage with complete confidence.
Going the Extra Mile with Project Funding
Great marketing solutions go beyond just design. To help bring this project to life smoothly, I assisted Stephen with a funding application through We Are UMi, securing vital support toward the cost of the website build.
The final result is a beautiful, easy-to-manage digital showcase that reflects the quality, care, and dedication County Durham Building & Joinery puts into every job.
