Case Study: Wired for Success:
The Comprehensive Website Redesign of Mercer Electrical Services
Mercer Electrical Services is a reputable electrician service provider in Derbyshire and South Birmingham, faced the challenge of limited online visibility and low conversion rates. With a one-page WordPress website and minimal copy, they were unable to effectively reach their target audience and convert visitors into customers. The company partnered with me to redesign their website, enhance their copy, and improve their organic SEO.
Website Objectives
Expand Customer Reach: To increase visibility among domestic and commercial customers in Derbyshire and South Birmingham.
New Copywriting: Craft compelling copywriting that accurately describe services using relevant keywords and phrases that resonate with the target audience.
Improve Conversions: To turn website visitors into paying customers.
Enhance Organic SEO: To rank higher in search engine results.
Website Redesign: To transition from a one-page to a multi-page website.
User Experience: To provide an easy-to-navigate website with clear information for both domestic and commercial customers.
The Web Design Process
Initial Consultation
David Mercer, the owner of Mercer Electrical Services, provided key information, including the tone of voice, details for the copywriting, images, and a vision for the website’s look and feel. Dave had worked with a marketing consultant to identity the key issues with his existing website and ways in which he could improve things, working with this report I was able to put a website plan together.
Copywriting and Wireframing
The first step was crafting compelling copy using relevant keywords and phrases that resonated with the target audience for the target audience. Anchor text was used for internal linking wherever possible.
After Dave’s approval, this copy was integrated into a wireframe to give a visual representation of the future website, and demonstrate the intended navigation and user experience the website would provide to potential customers.
Development and Testing
The wireframe served as the blueprint for the website development. Rigorous testing followed to ensure functionality and responsiveness across a range of device types and sizes. Dave assisted with the testing of the website and once he was happy, we launched the website in July 2023.
Website Challenges and Solutions
Challenge 1: Balancing User Experience for Two Audiences
Dave wanted to target both domestic and commercial clients in need of electrical services on his website.
Solution: I created separate pages with targeted copy and CTAs for domestic and commercial customers, ensuring a tailored user experience for each. I also created a dedicated page for EV charging and Solar Power installations to specifically target customers looking for these services.
Challenge 2: SEO Optimisation for a Multi-Page Structure
Dave wanted the entire website to be found easily online but also each particular service and customer type.
Solution: I implemented on-page SEO strategies, including keyword-rich content and meta descriptions, to ensure each page was optimized for search engines. I also improved technical performance of the website such as page loading speeds, UX, accessibility and responsiveness to exceed Google’s expected standards.
