The Challenge

We were approached by an established carpentry firm based in Surrey to help move them up to the next level. They had an existing website that had started to look tired and wasn’t a reflection of where they were as a business. The firm is a family-run business with a fantastic reputation locally for all things oak—any new website needed to reflect the handcrafted and family aspects of the company. Clarus Digital developed a proposal for them, which was readily accepted thanks to our ability to spot their essential requirements and identify how we could help them develop their niche.

The team at Barnwood was already well-versed in ensuring that their latest projects were shown on social media. They had reflected this on their old website, but not to the fullest extent due to the platform limitations. Any new website is needed to showcase its high standards and wide range of projects.

A key objective for them was to ensure that the business maintained its substantial market share in private projects but grew its share of commercial contractor work, which, whilst keeping them busy, was an area they wanted to expand. Finally, as one of the few contractors already working with local authorities in their area, they wanted to show the work they had done to help demonstrate the level that they work to and how the local population had probably already come across their high work standards.

The Process

Our team proposed a modern, user-friendly website designed to prominently display Barnwood’s high-quality carpentry projects. The website contains features that allow for easy updates and showcase Barnwood’s extensive portfolio. This included improved social media integration, enabling Barnwood to highlight its latest projects more effectively and engage with a broader audience.

In addressing their strategic objectives, we focused on a dual approach of maintaining their dominance in private sector projects while aggressively expanding their footprint in the commercial contracting industry. Our solution incorporates targeted SEO practices, structures, and content strategies designed to attract commercial businesses, reflecting the firm’s capability and reliability in handling large-scale projects. Furthermore, our design ensures that local authority collaborations are prominently displayed, offering tangible proof of Barnwood’s high standards and their pivotal role in local developments. This bespoke website serves as a testament to their craftsmanship and as a robust tool for future growth and community engagement.

The Results

There are many ways to quantify and qualify a project’s success. Firstly, the client’s view was that it was a great reflection of their business and the position that they have established in the market as a highly skilled, family-owned business with a large number of very happy customers. Secondly the performance of the website in both attaining and converting new business opportunities, especially in the target sectors.
