The problem, the build, and what it actually changed.

Protect MYT Shutters

The multi-language site we built, five years on

The problem. A site we had built and that had since been left to run on its own: intermittent full-site outages nobody could reproduce, brochure forms filling with spam, and no backup since April 2023.

What we did. Traced the outages to a PHP 8.4 fatal inside a caching plugin's Cloudflare integration and updated it. Repaired 499 dead links left by a removed dev site, put reCAPTCHA on all 29 forms, deleted 21 unused ones, and started weekly backups.

Protect Global Exclusive Movers

Two sites down at once, and it was not the sites

The problem. Both of the client's sites went dark on the same morning — one showing a Cloudflare 522, the other a connection timeout. The assumption on the table was malware, and a bot flood had been hitting the server that day.

What we did. Read the Apache logs instead of guessing. There were 48 minutes with zero entries across every domain on the account — requests never reached the server at all. Core checksums passed on all three installs, ruling out malware. The host later confirmed a server-side failure on their end.

KDM Group website — UK fit-out contractor site built by Dotance

Build KDM Group

A contractor whose best work was invisible online

The problem. A UK fit-out and shopfitting contractor with a serious project history and almost no presence to show it. Work that sold itself in a meeting disappeared completely when someone searched for them first.

What we did. A full build with the project portfolio at the centre of it, structured so their own team adds new work rather than coming back to us every time a job completes.

Elevate BioWellness website — health and recovery centre site built by Dotance

Build Elevate BioWellness

Therapies most visitors had never heard of

The problem. A recovery and wellness centre in Texas offering treatments people cannot picture from the name alone. A conventional services page would have asked visitors to already know what they wanted.

What we did. Built the site around the treatments rather than the brand — each therapy gets its own explanation of what it does and who it suits, with booking never more than a click from wherever someone is reading.

GEM Pet Network website — international pet relocation site built by Dotance

Build GEM Pet Network

A network that had to explain itself to worried owners

The problem. Pet-relocation specialists spread across countries, with nothing online that told a family moving abroad who these people were or how to start. The audience arrives anxious, not curious.

What we did. Designed and built the network's site around its members and the journey a pet actually takes — what happens, in what order, and who is responsible at each border.

TechInMotion360 website — drone videography and 3D printing site built by Dotance

Build TechInMotion360

Two businesses that had to share one website

The problem. Aerial and FPV drone work on one side, 3D printing on the other, sold by the same people. Put plainly on one page, each service makes the other look like a sideline.

What we did. Built the site so the two paths separate immediately at the top and never compete again — someone arriving for drone footage never has to scroll past a printer to find it.

Gary Brown Books website — author site for the novel Invisible Justice, built by Dotance

Build Gary Brown Books

A debut novel with a date and no home

The problem. A first medical thriller heading for publication, with the book existing only as a retailer listing. Nowhere that belonged to the author, and nowhere to send anyone before launch.

What we did. Built an author site around the book itself — the premise, the writer behind it, and one clear route to buying it, ready before the launch rather than after it.

Omni HRM website — HR consultancy site given performance work by Dotance

Grow Omni HRM

A consultancy losing people before the page arrived

The problem. An HR consultancy whose site had grown slow enough that visitors were leaving during the load. The usual advice at that point is to install a caching plugin and hope.

What we did. Measured the load path first and fixed what was actually costing the time, rather than layering a cache over the problem and calling the number that came out of it a result.

Speed Optimization

Pathlight Legal website — law firm site built and maintained by Dotance

Protect Pathlight Legal

A law firm that could not afford a bad week

The problem. A legal practice whose website is the first thing a prospective client meets. Downtime, a broken form or a stale page is not an inconvenience for a firm like this — it is a lost instruction.

What we did. Built the site, then kept it: updates tested before they ship, forms checked as part of the routine rather than after someone complains, and backups that have actually been restored.

Maintenance & Support

Spero website — design and systems consultancy site built and maintained by Dotance

Protect Spero

Built, and then kept running

The problem. A design and systems consultancy that needed a site, and then needed it to stay correct without anyone internally owning WordPress.

What we did. Delivered the build and stayed on it — the same people who wrote the code doing the updates, so a change never starts with someone reading unfamiliar work for the first time.

Maintenance & Support

Water is Life Kenya website built by Dotance

Build Water is Life Kenya

A charity whose case is made in a photograph

The problem. A 501(c)(3) drilling wells in marginalised Kenyan communities, with a matched-giving campaign running against a deadline. Donation sites usually bury the ask under the mission statement.

What we did. Built the site so the campaign leads and the mission supports it — the monthly-giving ask sits at the top with its match deadline visible, and the project work behind it is a click away rather than a scroll away.

Tomlin Heating and Air website built by Dotance

Grow Tomlin Heating and Air

A furnace that fails at 2am does not browse

The problem. An HVAC contractor in St. Louis competing for people who need a repair today. This audience does not read: they scan for whether you cover them, whether you can come, and what it will cost.

What we did. Designed and built the site on Wix to fit how the client already worked, with service coverage, financing and the call to action reachable from any point on the page.

Website Design

Forged Vaelor Research website built by Dotance

Build Forged Vaelor Research

A regulated product with an age gate in front of it

The problem. A research and supplement brand that legally cannot show its catalogue to anyone under 21, which means the first thing every visitor meets is a door rather than the brand.

What we did. Built the site so the gate is a moment rather than a wall — brand and proof land immediately after it, with the verification and testing claims kept where a cautious buyer will actually look for them.

At the Table With Him website built by Dotance

Build At the Table With Him

A devotional that had to work as a daily habit

The problem. A daily devotional platform, which is a harder brief than a content site: it is only useful if someone comes back tomorrow, and the day after.

What we did. Built around the return visit — write, reflect, pray, repeat as the actual structure of the site, so the reading and the response live in the same place rather than in a blog archive.

Boisa Nutrición website built by Dotance

Build Boisa Nutrición

Nutrition advice nobody has time to follow

The problem. A Spanish nutrition practice selling prepared healthy meals, with the honest observation behind the whole business: everyone knows nutrition matters and nobody has the time.

What we did. Built a bilingual site that leads with the practical answer rather than the argument — the dishes, how they are heated, how quickly — with the clinical credibility underneath it.

WordPress Multilingual

Build Mare Blue

Interior work that only convinces in pictures

The problem. An integral decoration studio in Spain whose value is entirely visual, with a physical showroom that most enquiries never see before deciding.

What we did. Built the site as a portfolio first — recent projects and the showroom given the weight the sales conversation actually gives them, with the services written underneath rather than in front.

Grow Cabinet X4U

One accountancy practice, two jurisdictions

The problem. A France–Morocco accountancy firm serving entrepreneurs, SMEs and international groups. The cross-border capability is the whole proposition and the hardest thing to say quickly.

What we did. Built the site around that pairing rather than a service list — accounting, tax, payroll and legal presented as one practice working across both countries, with a free consultation as the single next step.

Imperial Consulting Services Group website built by Dotance

Build Imperial Consulting Services Group

Four businesses that had to look like one

The problem. Consulting, training, media and biometric fingerprint services under a single brand — a range broad enough that a visitor could easily conclude the firm does none of it properly.

What we did. Built the site so each division has its own room while the group reads as one organisation, with new services (biometrics, notary and identity) able to launch without a redesign.

Tan's Total Solutions website built by Dotance

Build Tan's Total Solutions

A business defined by what it is not

The problem. Hands-on help for homes and small businesses — repairs, organising, the jobs that do not fit a trade. The category has no name, so the usual "our services" grid says nothing.

What we did. Built the site around the customer rather than the service: who is overwhelmed, what state their to-do list is in, and the promise that it ends here.

Dead Mall Underground website built by Dotance

Build Dead Mall Underground

A book that needed a reason to exist online

The problem. A single non-fiction title about the death of El Con mall, with an author nobody has heard of yet. A retailer listing sells to people already looking; nothing was reaching the people who would care.

What we did. Built the site around the question the book answers rather than the book itself, so someone who watched their own mall die finds the story first and the purchase second.

Amber Valley Dental website built by Dotance

Build Amber Valley Dental

NHS and private care on the same site

The problem. A UK dental practice in Swanwick and Alfreton offering both NHS and private treatment. Those are two audiences with different questions, and most practice sites make each wade through the other.

What we did. Built in Elementor with the treatments — Invisalign, implants, hygiene, emergencies — reachable directly, and booking present on every route rather than parked on a contact page.

EcoSafe Pest Control website built by Dotance

Grow EcoSafe Pest Control

Pest control is a search-driven business

The problem. A licensed, family-owned Melbourne operator competing against national brands for people searching by pest and suburb. Nobody browses for pest control; they search once and call.

What we did. Built the site to match how that search happens — each common pest with its own page, coverage and licensing stated plainly, and a free quote as the single action on every one of them.

Trinity One Contractors website built by Dotance

Build Trinity One Contractors

A young contractor competing on trust

The problem. A Florida masonry and concrete firm three years into trading, bidding against companies with decades behind them. Experience is the one thing they cannot claim.

What we did. Built the site to lead with what they can evidence — completed projects across Florida and their safety record — rather than the years-in-business number every competitor site opens with.

Willow and Womb Wellness website built by Dotance

Build Willow and Womb Wellness

A practice whose visitors arrive vulnerable

The problem. Specialised therapy and coaching for women, birthing people and LGBTQ+ families through transitions that are rarely discussed. The wrong tone on a page like this loses someone before the first sentence ends.

What we did. Built the site to feel like the practice rather than a clinic — the therapist present early, the services described in the words clients use, and no step between reading and reaching out.

Build REBUILT

Three practices sharing one roof and one brand

The problem. Sports chiropractic, athlete performance training and Pilates in New Lenox, Illinois, under one name. Three audiences who each need to feel the place was built for them.

What we did. Built the site so each discipline stands on its own while the founder and the standard behind all three carry across, with the awards used as proof rather than decoration.

East Buffalo Development Corporation website built by Dotance

Build East Buffalo Development Corporation

A development corporation with many departments

The problem. Community-based real estate development on Buffalo's Eastside — affordable housing, vacant home reactivation, renovation, senior programmes. Residents need one department; the site has to serve all of them.

What we did. Built the site as a set of departments rather than a services page, so a resident lands on the programme that applies to them and the corporation's work as a whole is still visible.

Thrive Wellness website built by Dotance

Grow Thrive Wellness

A medical claim that has to be handled carefully

The problem. A multi-state telehealth clinic offering GLP-1 based medical weight loss. The category is crowded with claims, and the honest version has to compete against the dishonest one.

What we did. Built the site around the clinician and the clinical process rather than a number — credentials, what the programme actually involves, and documented transformations doing the persuading.

Grow Bokare

Selling a service people have been burned by

The problem. Swedish B2B appointment setting, sold at a fixed price with no minimum commitment — in a market where buyers have usually been locked into a contract by someone before.

What we did. Built the site so the commercial terms are the message: fixed price, no start-up cost, no minimum, running within a week. The differentiator is the offer, so the site leads with it.
