Project Origins & Scope

FactorDetails
Founder storyJordan moved from managing steel‑plant crews to launching his own multi‑discipline electrical outfit, bringing a problem‑solving mindset and a hand‑picked team of specialists.
Site briefReplace a tired Salient‑theme WordPress site with a faster, Oxygen‑powered build that visually reflects Atreus’ growing capability.
Time pressureNo hard deadline—quality over speed, with the freedom to craft a precise brand narrative.
RoleSolo designer‑developer: strategy, UX, copy, WordPress/Oxygen build. Atreus supplied most project photos.

Goals & Success Factors

  1. Show the breadth of services (power, data, renewables, fire, CCTV) to add legitimacy to quotes.
  2. Surface flagship projects—notably the high‑spec Manor House Fitness fit‑out—to illustrate craft.
  3. Reassure prospects with Trustpilot reviews and the prestigious Electric Works address.

No formal KPIs—this was first and foremost a brand‑credibility play.

  • Service pages: Separate SEO‑optimised pages for each discipline (Electrical Installation, Data Cabling, Renewables, etc.).

Technical Build & Performance

  • Stack: WordPress + Oxygen (migrated from Salient).
  • Speed tactics: Lazy‑loaded, compressed imagery; minimal plugins; caching.
  • Accessibility: Alt‑text baseline; keyboard focus & ARIA landmarks slated for next release.

Content & SEO

  • Keyword focus: “Electrical installation” + Sheffield/UK variants; discipline‑specific long‑tails planned.
  • Project overviews: Short write‑ups for each flagship job give Google fresh, keyword‑rich content and visitors tangible proof.

Outcomes & Reflection

  • Early impact: Site helped secure several larger‑scale installation quotes within months of launch.
  • Next‑phase wishlist:
    • Microsites for principal contracting and luxury‑home services.
    • Rich media around ongoing projects (video diaries, drone shots).
    • Deeper accessibility & analytics‑driven iterations.
  • Takeaway: Close collaboration with construction‑minded founders lets design tell a technical story—precision and problem‑solving—without drowning users in jargon.
