Case studies

Two live sites, rebuilt. Both uncommissioned — and labelled that way.

Neither business was approached, neither has seen this, and neither is a client. Each is a public page rebuilt as a concept, checked against the same gates as everything else here, photographed in both states and written up as a case study: the page as found, what changed and why, what it measures, and what the exercise demonstrates. What follows is design and conversion architecture only. No traffic, enquiry or ranking figure appears in this section, because neither source site carries analytics and none was measured.

Case study 01

J Bridges Electrical Services

Electrician · Croydon CR2 0AA · number withheld

uncommissioned rebuild Google Sites → 5 static pages 9 areas covered Design & conversion only

The situation. An electrical services business covering nine areas around Croydon, publishing on a Google Sites page with no form, no meta description and no structured data anywhere in it. The areas were printed as a flat list and a stock interior photograph carried the first screen, so the page never said what the business is and gave nobody a way to make contact. Every observation below is read from the public page as served: nothing was requested from the business, and neither its site nor any account of its own was touched.

  • No form, no structured data and no meta description anywhere in the site: there was nothing on the page that could capture an enquiry.
  • The nine areas covered were printed as a plain bulleted list — Croydon, South Croydon, Sanderstead and the rest — place names with no link, no anchor and no order.
  • A stock interior photograph carried the first screen, so the hero never actually said electrician.
Rebuildthe rebuild, same viewport
RebuildThe same J Bridges page after the FORTOXA rebuild, photographed at 1440 by 900 pixels.
  • Hero states the trade and the postcode: Electrician · Croydon CR2 0AA.
  • One obvious action — Call the number — as a real tel: link, one tap from the first screen.
  • The nine areas became nine anchors with the district named for each, and the enquiry form validates its fields before handing off to the visitor’s own mail client.
  • The eight service lines were transcribed from his own list and surfaced up front: fault finding, consumer unit upgrades, full house re-wires among them.

The same page at 390 px, where a call button is either one tap or a lost job.

What it demonstrates. A conversion path can be rebuilt and held to account without access, analytics or a single request to the live server: the enquiry route, the area coverage, the type scale, the contrast floors and the request count are all checkable from outside. That is the same discipline a paid build is held to — named, measured and written down — applied to a page nobody commissioned.

Case study 02

Warner Electrical Services Ltd

Croydon · London · Surrey · number withheld

uncommissioned rebuild Squarespace → 5 static pages Design & conversion only

The situation. An electrical contractor covering Croydon, London and Surrey, publishing on Squarespace. Most taps on its phone number did nothing — one tel: link in the whole page, everywhere else plain text — the banner carried a generic headline, and weight, size and colour changed from block to block with no system behind them. The emergency route existed, but only as something a visitor had to read and retype. Every observation below is read from the public page as served: the business was not approached, and none of its accounts or files were touched.

  • The phone number was set as plain text — a single tel: link on the whole page, so most taps on the number did nothing.
  • A generic agency headline held the banner; the emergency path existed as body copy rather than as a route through the page.
  • No type scale and no contrast floor: weight, size and colour changed from block to block with no system behind them.

RebuildThe same Warner page after the FORTOXA rebuild, photographed at 1440 by 900 pixels.
  • High-contrast emergency banner: EMERGENCY CALL OUTS · EICR & LANDLORD CERTIFICATES.
  • Two primary routes, both first-screen: Call the number as a tap-to-call button, and Build a job brief as an interactive panel that composes the email for the visitor.
  • Dark UI with a single dominant surface and a cited metric band — 18 named service lines, 13 documented jobs, 5 published reviews, each read from the business’s own published pages.

The same page at 390 px. The emergency route has to survive the small screen to be worth anything.

What it demonstrates. The same rebuild discipline applied to a page built on a different platform. The platform’s own traces are visible in the markup, and the answer is not a migration but a rewrite of the route through the page: one tap to call, one panel that composes the enquiry, and a type and contrast system behind both. The 18 service lines, 13 documented jobs and 5 published reviews were carried over from the business’s own published pages — cited, not invented.

Scope: layout, type, contrast, conversion path and request count — the things a rebuild can be held to without a single request to a live server. No live site, account or file belonging to either business was touched. Both rebuilds are noindex concept work, both are labelled uncommissioned rebuild, and both carry the not-affiliated line quoted above.
