Web Design Portfolio

Eight live sites, shown as they are.

These are websites we've rebuilt for local businesses across London and the Home Counties: a locksmith, a plasterer, a tree surgeon, a car wash, three waste firms and a builder. Each one replaced an older site. Every screenshot was taken from the live site, on a desktop and on a phone.

Each project page sets out what the business needed, what we delivered and the design choices you can see on the site. Results appear only where we've measured them. For the numbers, see the case studies.

How each site handles the first enquiry

The opening screen does a different job for each trade. Someone locked out wants to ring now. Someone clearing a garage wants a price before they speak to anyone. A driver on the way to a car wash wants directions. These are the choices we made on each site, as they appear on the live pages.

  • Bubbles Car Spa

    Hand car wash

    On a phone: A bar along the bottom of every page with the phone number and directions.

    Getting in touch: There is no booking. You drive in, so the site's job is to get you there.

  • WasteWize

    Waste removal

    On a phone: The quote form comes straight after the headline.

    Getting in touch: The WhatsApp message already names the town and service you were reading about.

  • Hancock Plastering & Painting

    Plastering & painting

    On a phone: The headline, a call button, then the fixed-price form.

    Getting in touch: WhatsApp opens with a message naming the page you were on.

  • RLE Waste Clearance

    Rubbish removal & clearance

    On a phone: Call, WhatsApp and Quote fixed to the bottom, hidden while you type in a form.

    Getting in touch: Send a photo of the rubbish on WhatsApp. The price is confirmed before any work starts.

  • On a phone: Call and WhatsApp in a bar along the bottom of every page.

    Getting in touch: Before any sales copy, a section explains what happens once you ring.

  • AM Rubbish Clearance

    Rubbish clearance

    On a phone: Call now, WhatsApp and Free Quote fixed to the bottom of every page.

    Getting in touch: The load prices are published, so the cost is on the page before anyone asks.

  • GX Tree Care & Fencing

    Tree surgery & fencing

    On a phone: A WhatsApp button stays in the corner of every page.

    Getting in touch: On a desktop, both phone numbers sit in the header beside the logo.

  • Hangard Construction

    Construction & renovation

    On a phone: The phone number stays in the header next to the menu.

    Getting in touch: On a desktop the first screen is a project form over the photo, and WhatsApp messages carry the page address.

If your enquiries come mostly from phones, our web design for tradesmen page sets out how we plan a trade site around the phone call and the quote form.

The build

Every site rebuilt for Google and AI search

We rebuilt each of these sites in Astro and set it up for SEO, AEO and GEO: the same three things go into every build, so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT can read what the business does and cite it accurately. Nobody can make an AI tool recommend a business, and we don't claim to.

Built in Astro

Astro turns each page into plain HTML before anyone visits, with very little JavaScript to download. Pages load quickly, including on a phone with a weak signal.

Schema markup

Structured data that tells Google and AI assistants what the business does, where it works and how to reach it. Where a site lists prices or answers common questions, those are marked up too.

An llms.txt file

A plain-text summary of the business at /llms.txt, written for AI tools: what it does, where it works and how to get in touch.

Two ways to start

"Highly recommend RankLocal. I was apprehensive at first as had been let down with a previous agency I used, but went with the Growth Engine and the level of insight, professional development and web exposure obtained from this was way above my expectation. Dan is clearly very knowledgeable in this field and extremely proactive."

Elliot Boorman

"Recently used Rank Local to redesign my website. Really happy with the finished product and the company were a professional outfit throughout the process."

Maximillian

Local Guide

"Thanks Rank Local — recently redone my website, very pleased with it, great work. Was a pleasure dealing with Daniel. We had our new site up and running within 3 weeks."

Daniel Byatt

"I had a site for my 1 man company for years that never really gained much traction so I decided to bring it up to date. Rank Local rebuilt the site and it looks so much better — modern and easier to navigate. I've already been contacted by people from the site so whatever they did, they did it right. Thanks again Dan."

Chevy Roach

"Excellent service and great people to work with. Sorted all our SEO ranking for 247 Cars with Google and we are on first page for all our service areas."

Andy Johnson

"Great service from Rank Local Agency. They redone my site — now I appear in AI search results for my business in Richmond. Using them for my social media management, all going well, nothing to fault. Recommended them to a friend also."
