Project Goals & Brief
The main objectives for this website project were clearly defined from the outset. Welnes Home Improvements needed a modern website that could:
- Present multiple home improvement services clearly
- Build trust with local homeowners
- Generate consistent enquiries
- Support future SEO expansion with GEO pages and blogs
- Load quickly and perform well on all devices
The website was structured to support both immediate lead generation and long-term organic growth across Suffolk and Norfolk, aligning with the project requirements outlined during the planning stage.
Website Structure & Content Strategy
The site was developed as a multi-page WordPress website with clearly defined service sections, including:
- Home
- About Us
- Services hub
- Individual service pages
- Contact page
- Privacy policy
Each page was written with SEO-friendly structure, logical heading hierarchy, and user-focused content to help visitors quickly understand services and take action. The service pages were designed to rank independently for local searches while supporting internal linking across the site.
WordPress Platform & Technologies Used
WordPress CMS
The website was built using WordPress, providing Welnes with a flexible, scalable platform that allows easy future content updates, service expansion, and SEO growth.
WordPress was selected for its reliability, performance, and compatibility with advanced optimisation tools.
Elementor Pro Page Builder
Elementor Pro was used to create fully custom page layouts without relying on heavy pre-built themes. This allowed complete control over:
- Page structure
- Responsive layouts
- Calls to action
- Visual hierarchy
Elementor Pro also enables future content editing without technical knowledge, giving the client long-term flexibility.
Hello Elementor Theme
The lightweight Hello Elementor theme was chosen to ensure fast loading speeds and minimal code overhead.
This theme acts as a clean foundation, allowing Elementor to handle design while maintaining strong Core Web Vitals performance.
Responsive Design & User Experience
The website was designed with a mobile-first approach, ensuring excellent usability across:
- Mobile phones
- Tablets
- Desktop devices
Navigation, buttons, contact forms, and call-to-action sections were optimised for touch interaction and readability.
This ensures a smooth experience for homeowners browsing on mobile devices, which is critical for local service businesses.
SEO Optimisation Strategy
Search engine optimisation was a core part of this project, not an afterthought.
On-Page SEO Foundations
Each page was built with:
- Keyword-focused page titles and meta descriptions
- Proper H1–H3 heading structure
- SEO-friendly URLs
- Internal linking between related services
- Image optimisation with descriptive alt text
This provides a strong technical foundation for organic search visibility across Suffolk and Norfolk.
Local SEO Targeting
The site content was structured to support location-based SEO, making it ideal for future GEO landing pages targeting towns and service areas.
This allows Welnes Home Improvements to gradually expand visibility for searches such as “kitchen renovation Suffolk” or “bathroom fitters Norfolk” without restructuring the site later.
Google Tools Integration
- The website includes integration with:
- Google Analytics
- Google Search Console
- Google reCAPTCHA v3
This ensures accurate tracking, spam protection, and data-driven SEO improvements over time.
Performance & Security Enhancements
To support both SEO and usability, performance and security were prioritised throughout development:
- Image compression for faster page loads
- Clean code output using Elementor and a lightweight theme
- SSL certificate installation
- Regular WordPress core and plugin updates
- Secure contact forms protected with reCAPTCHA v3
These measures help improve search rankings, reduce bounce rates, and protect the website from common threats.
Conversion-Focused Design
Every page was built with lead generation in mind. This includes:
- Prominent “Book a Free Consultation” calls to action
- Click-to-call phone numbers
- Simple, user-friendly contact forms
- Trust-building content and service explanations
The layout encourages visitors to take action without feeling overwhelmed, supporting consistent enquiry generation for the client.
Scalability & Future Growth
The Welnes website was designed as a scalable digital platform, not a static brochure site. The structure supports:
- Future blog content
- GEO landing pages
- Showcase projects
- SEO expansion across additional service areas
This ensures the website can grow alongside the business without costly redevelopment.
