Quality Gates Built to Last
Wooden Gate Makers was founded 25 years ago from a single craftsmen. Since 2000, the business has expanded in size and efficiency, now with a team of 7 craftsmen. Despite this, they felt there were aspects of the company which were not scaling at the same rate, and consequently limiting their growth. Their main concern was their online presence, as they felt there was a large market online which they had not yet dipped into due to a lack of resources and marketing. Expect Best set out with the goal of designing, developing and hosting a brand new website as well as provide a SEO service. The mission was to improve brand awareness and allow the growth of the company to continue at the maximum rate with these limitations now rectified.
One of the main goals with this design was to provide a platform to display the beautiful work that Wooden Gate Makers do in order to attract more clients. The design team worked hard to convey the values of the brand, through visual aspects such as colour palette and font family for example.
The developer team worked hard in order to create the website with all of the desired functionality, such as an image carousel and gallery in order to effectively achieve the goals which were set out in the design process.
To handle the higher web traffic and provide a smooth experience, we provided Wooden Gate Makers with strong hosting solutions. Our hosting ensures the website remains fast, secure, and reliably online. These three areas are essential for maintaining the trust and satisfaction of their clients. This backend strength supports the front-end user experience. It ensures that Wooden Gate Makers’ digital presence is as strong as their physical one.
The mission we set out to achieve was not just to create a refreshed website, but to also drive traffic to the website to further increase client engagement and support the continued growth of the company. This is where our team of SEO experts came in. They worked vigilantly in order to drive the new website to the top of search engines, with the website we made them now being the number one ranked search on Google for the keyphrase ‘wooden gate Dorset’ as well as being very high up in the rankings for a number of other mutually agreed keyphrases that they were targeting.
