Manchester Party Wall Surveyors: made simple.
A full rebuild for a firm of RICS Chartered party wall surveyors, turning a WordPress site of guides into a 70-page site that wins enquiries.
The brief
Manchester Party Wall Surveyors is a firm of RICS Chartered Building Surveyors advising building owners and neighbours on the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 across Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
Their old WordPress site had useful guides on the Act, but it didn't show what they actually do, where they work or what it costs. There was one services page, no pages for the towns they cover and nothing for commercial clients.
The goal: a site that wins enquiries directly, explains party walls in plain English and gives people a price and next step in under a minute.
- 70 pages, each with a clear job to do
- An instant estimate: notices needed, earliest start date and a fee in under a minute
- A free notice checker: tick the work, see which sections of the Act apply
- 21 area pages and 8 commercial pages
- The existing guides to the Party Wall Act kept at the same addresses, so their Google rankings carry over
