Detailed Project Overview And Scope

Shield Build is a Crawley-based construction company with over 20 years’ experience delivering home extensions, loft conversions, kitchen installations, refurbishments and certified fire door services across West Sussex and the South East.

The client needed a website that reflected their reputation as a fully insured, end-to-end contractor, while making it easy for homeowners and commercial clients to request a fixed, written quote. The previous site lacked structure, failed to separate residential and fire-safety services clearly, and did little to reassure visitors before their first enquiry.

Our team designed and built a new WordPress site on Elementor Pro, organising extensions, lofts, kitchens, refurbishments and fire door inspections into clear service categories with dedicated pages. We added a transparent four-step process section, trust indicators including reviews, project counts and workmanship guarantees, and a streamlined quote request form.

The result is a professional, conversion-ready website that positions Shield Build as a safer pair of hands and consistently drives qualified enquiries.

"Codenbytes is a brilliant website development team, especially skilled in working with the WordPress platform, which I highly recommend. They are extremely proficient in their work and highly efficient, capable of designing and completing multi-page websites in a remarkably short time. The value they deliver is exceptional. Comparable work in the U.S. would typically cost significantly more. I cannot recommend Codenbytes enough—great work, great team. If you are considering them, you will not be disappointed."
