Halewood Build

A building firm doing extensions and loft conversions whose finished-work photography is excellent and is currently displayed in a cramped six-thumbnail grid at the bottom of the homepage.

The Halewood Build website on a phone

Why it looks like this.

People planning a £60,000 extension want proof of finished work and a builder who keeps to the programme, so the page is built like an architecture magazine cover. There is no hero banner: the headline 'Finished when we said' is set enormous in light Source Serif 4 across the whole page, and a portrait photograph of a dusk extension stands in the middle of it, with the words turning from ink to paper exactly where they cross the picture. On load the photo opens from a thin slit while the lines rise out of their masks. The signature is a pinned project reel on a near-black ground: scrolling moves six finished jobs sideways, and each project's huge serif name slides across its photograph faster than the photograph moves, while a counter ticks from 01 to 06. The rest reads as an editorial spread: a numbered price list where hovering a row slips a photo in, a week-five-and-week-fourteen case study, the staged payments beside a sticky heading, and an italic review. Geist and Geist Mono handle captions, specifications and figure numbers.

What this build does differently.

Pinned project reel with sliding serif project names

Six finished jobs, each with its area, type and weeks on site, in a sequence people actually watch rather than skim past.

Before-and-after case study with a budget band

Shows one extension at week five and at handover, with what it cost and how the family lived through it.

Numbered guide prices with photo previews

Sets realistic expectations before anyone commits to drawings.

Staged build process tied to payments

Makes clear that money is paid stage by stage, never up front, which is the biggest fear with builders.

Enquiry form with photo and drawing upload

Photos of the back of the house can save a site visit and speed up a first price.
