Maintain It All – Starter Website for a Full-Service Building Company
Zar De Abreu runs Maintain It All, a full-service building company offering everything from emergency repairs and reactive maintenance through to home extensions, installations, carpentry, painting and decorating and roofing. For a business that does it all, Zar needed a web presence to match: professional, memorable and built to perform from day one.
Starting from Scratch
When Zar came to me, Maintain It All had no website at all. This was the business’s very first exposure on the web. The goal was clear: create something that communicated the full range of services, made an immediate visual impact and gave potential customers every reason to pick up the phone.
A BNI Connection
Zar and I are both members of Cardiff City BNI and the project came through that referral network. It’s a great example of how BNI works: Zar knew the kind of work I do, trusted the recommendation and we got started quickly.
The Design Brief
Zar already had a strong logo and a clear vision for the brand: black and gold, bold and confident. He supplied the logo and a set of images, so the design direction was set from the start. My job was to build a website that did the brand justice: one that looked genuinely premium on every screen and made it easy for customers to get in touch.
We built a single-page starter website that covers the essentials: a strong hero section, a clean breakdown of services, a qualities section highlighting the team’s credentials and a contact area with Zar’s phone numbers and email front and centre. The black and gold palette carries through every section, giving the site a consistent, high-end feel.
Built on WordPress with Beaver Builder
The site runs on WordPress with Beaver Builder as the page builder, giving Zar a flexible foundation he can build on as the business grows. Mobile responsiveness was a priority from the outset: the site needed to look just as sharp on a phone as it does on a desktop, since plenty of building and maintenance enquiries come from people on the move. SEO optimisation was built in throughout so the site is set up to perform in local search from launch.
The site is also hosted on GD Graphics’ eco-friendly website hosting platform, which runs on renewable energy. For a company that regularly competes for public sector contracts, this is a detail worth having: demonstrating environmental awareness can make a real difference when tendering and it costs nothing to have in place from day one.
The Result
Maintain It All now has a professional online presence that reflects the quality of the work Zar and his team deliver. The site is clean, fast, easy to navigate and makes it straightforward for customers to reach out. For a business launching on the web for the first time, it’s a strong foundation to grow from.
