The Challenge

A Broad Range of Services. One Business to Understand.

Planned Maintenance is not a business that can be explained properly with a handful of generic service boxes. Its work spans multiple commercial disciplines, each of which needed enough prominence to be understood without making the overall website feel fragmented.

The challenge was to turn that breadth into a strength: showing the scale of capability while making the website easier for customers and search engines to understand.

01

Complex Service Offering

Multiple commercial services needed individual clarity while still feeling like part of one established company.

02

Commercial Audience

The website needed to speak appropriately to organisations, facilities teams and commercial decision-makers rather than looking like a generic domestic trades website.

03

Room to Expand

The architecture needed to accommodate additional services, projects, accreditations and content without requiring another structural rebuild.

The Strategy

Organise the Complexity. Then Build Authority Around It.

Rather than treating the project as a visual redesign, we started with the business itself: its services, customers, geographic market and the information someone would need before making an enquiry.

That thinking shaped the site architecture, page hierarchy, conversion routes and search foundations before the visual system was layered over the top.

01 Map the Services

Turn a broad collection of capabilities into a clearer commercial service structure.

02 Define the Audience

Shape the presentation around commercial customers and the information they need to make decisions.

03 Build the Authority

Combine specialist content, professional presentation and trust signals throughout the website.

04 Create Clear Routes

Make it easier to move from a service requirement to the right information and ultimately an enquiry.

Service Architecture

Every Service Has a Place. The Business Still Feels Like One.

A substantial commercial website needs hierarchy. Important services were organised into clearer pathways so customers can move towards the information relevant to them while the wider strength of Planned Maintenance remains visible.

01

Clear Service Hierarchy

Core areas of work were given a defined place rather than competing for attention within an overcrowded homepage.

02

Dedicated Content

Individual services have room for useful detail, stronger search relevance and more appropriate enquiry routes.

03

Scalable Architecture

New services, projects and specialist content can be added without disrupting the wider structure of the website.

Design Direction

Commercial and Capable. Without Corporate Blandness.

The design needed enough confidence to support an established commercial business while remaining clear and approachable. Strong typography, disciplined layouts and carefully selected industrial imagery give the website presence without filling it with unnecessary visual effects.

01

Clear Visual Hierarchy

Headings, supporting copy and calls to action are deliberately prioritised so substantial pages remain easy to scan.

02

Industrial Visual Language

Photography and visual treatments support the sectors and services without falling back on generic trade-site styling.

03

Consistent Components

Reusable design patterns keep the experience coherent as visitors move through different services and sections of the website.

Trust & Credibility

Professional Proof. Built Into the Experience.

Commercial customers need more than attractive design. The website needed to make experience, professional standards and accreditation feel like part of the company story rather than disconnected logos added as an afterthought.

01 Accreditations

Professional credentials are presented consistently within the wider visual system.

02 Service Expertise

Dedicated content gives customers more evidence of capability than a simple list of services.

03 Commercial Positioning

Language and presentation support the established business rather than reducing it to a generic trades proposition.

04 Structured Enquiries

Clear routes help prospective customers move from understanding the service to making contact.

Behind the Design

The Website Had to Perform as Well as It Presented.

The finished experience is supported by responsive development, image optimisation, caching, technical SEO foundations and performance work carried out alongside the visual build.

01

Responsive UX

Desktop, tablet and mobile layouts were refined independently so hierarchy and usability remain intact at different screen sizes.

02

Performance Engineering

WebP imagery, caching and targeted optimisation help balance visual quality with the technical demands of a substantial site.

03

SEO Foundations

Service architecture, geographic relevance and on-page structure provide a stronger foundation for continued search development.

The Result

From a Broad Service Offering to a Coherent Digital Business.

The finished website brings Planned Maintenance's services, commercial positioning, trust signals, customer journey and technical foundations into one system. It gives the company a stronger platform for presenting what it does today while leaving room for the business and website to continue expanding.
