WordPress Website
Alisdair and Jen at The Build Directory asked us to create a modern website for their business. The Build Directory is a one-stop shop for all your building and maintenance needs so we had to incorporate their branding and all their services in an easy to access format.
Obviously we have created pages for each of their services, on a WordPress site, and added to the menu but to simplify things we created an interactive house with the aid of our collaborator, Darren Smith at Black Sheep Branding.
Booking Services
As The Build Directory offer multiple services, a standard contact form would not be ideal as different teams deal with different requests. As they use ServiceM8 to schedule work, we helped them create a series of enquiry and booking forms in ServiceM8 and then redirected enquiries there so that customers could schedule a visit and this is sent to the correct team and added to that teams schedule automatically.
Marketing Videos
The team at The Build Directory made a series of professional videos that are great for marketing. We helped them create a YouTube channel to serve the videos and then feed the videos into the website from there.
There are a few advantages to doing this including, faster load speed, reduced server storage space, and having YouTube as another marketing channel.
Associated Services
As well as offering all their services as one-off options, The Build Directory also offer customers Abode Cover that includes standard maintenance and prioritised service should there be an emergency or issue at home.
We created another website to offer this but wanted it to clearly be part of the same company in terms of website feel and look. To that end we created a second WordPress website, based on the same layout, but using the green from the company logo as the main highlight, whereas the main site uses the blue as the main highlight.
