Proposal · prepared for Crickhowell Joinery · 29 May 2026

A few specific fixes for crickhowelljoinery.co.uk

Crickhowell Joinery · Llangattock, Powys · website rebuild

I rebuild small-business websites in my spare time when I can see they are leaving good work hidden. Ten minutes on crickhowelljoinery.co.uk on a phone surfaced three things, and the first one is the kind of fault that quietly costs you bespoke jobs. Below are the three findings, then a working rebuild of the home page you can click through.

A bespoke oak garden room by Crickhowell Joinery, glazing set into stone under the Usk valley hills

Finding 01

The finished work is served at 150 by 150 pixels.

What I saw

On every trade page the gallery photographs of finished kitchens, staircases, oak garden rooms and barn-conversion glazing are rendered as 150 by 150 pixel thumbnails. The full-size originals are sitting in the WordPress media library at up to 2048 pixels, but the page only ever shows the cropped thumbnail. The one thing that justifies a bespoke price, the craft itself, is the one thing a visitor cannot actually look at.

What the rebuild does

The rebuild leads with the full-resolution photographs at the size they deserve: a wide hero of the oak garden-room glazing, then a portfolio of kitchens, gates and stairs that fills the screen. Same files you already own, shown at full size with lazy loading so the page still stays fast.

Finding 02

Nothing on the site says Llangattock, and the footer still reads 2019.

What I saw

The footer copyright is frozen at 2019, six years stale. There is no mention of Llangattock, Crickhowell, the Usk valley or the Brecon Beacons anywhere a visitor would read it, and no current LocalBusiness data Google can use. A stranger weighing you against a PVCu supplier cannot tell that you are a current, local, Powys workshop rather than a site someone forgot about.

What the rebuild does

The rebuild puts the workshop in its place: Timber Craft Park, Llangattock, under the Beacons, with a real Google map, opening details, and structured LocalBusiness data so you surface for "joiner near Crickhowell" searches. The year updates itself from now on.

Finding 03

Each trade page is a title and a gallery, with no words and no way to ask.

What I saw

The Windows, Doors, Stairs and Kitchens pages each carry a heading and some images, but almost no description of the work. The detail that wins a heritage job, sash cords and weights, Accoya for painted exteriors, Slimlite glazing that keeps a period sightline, replica joinery for listed buildings, is not written down. And there is no quote form: every enquiry has to leave the site for the phone.

What the rebuild does

The rebuild gives each line a short, specific description in your own trade language, and a single quote form that emails you the brief, the rough sizes and a note of what the customer is matching, so the first call already has the detail on it.

Pricing

One fixed price, no retainer.

£2,000Fixed for the rebuild. One-off.
£150Per month for hosting and ongoing care.
£50Optional. An embedded chatbot trained on your FAQs.

The close

If it lands, three slots in the next ten days.

If the proposal lands, reply with two or three 20-minute slots in the next ten days for a video call. I take on three Powys builds this quarter, and the first confirmed wins the slot. If I do not hear back by 8 June, the proposal site comes down.
