Case study · Web Development

A renovation company from Thessaloniki needed a website as solid as its work. We rebuilt it from zero as a custom WordPress theme, with our own SEO built in and not a single plugin. The result scores at the very top of Google PageSpeed.

The challenge

Great work. A site that didn’t show it.

  • 01
    Eight plugins deepA page builder, six add-ons and an SEO plugin, just to draw a handful of pages. Heavy on mobile, where most visitors arrive.
  • 02
    A typeface without GreekThe brand font had no Greek characters, so every Greek word quietly fell back to a different font.
  • 03
    Hard to trustServices, process and answers to common questions were scattered, and one service page carried another one’s text.
  • 04
    Invisible to searchPhotos named by camera numbers, nothing to help Google understand the business, and a media library full of unused files.
Plugins on the siteEvery one of them, gone.

The approach

Built from zero.
Nothing it doesn’t need.

Custom theme

A WordPress theme designed and written for this company only. No page builder, no plugins, nothing to slow it down.

SEO built in

Our own SEO, part of the theme itself: every page described for Google, every photo named and labelled.

Content that sells

A page per service, a company section with “How we work” and an FAQ that answers before people call.

Privacy by design

Own cookie banner, no third-party trackers and simple visitor stats right inside the dashboard.

We kept the look people already trusted and rebuilt everything underneath. Same black and teal. A whole new engine.

  • Answers right in searchEvery service page brings its questions and answers into Google, before anyone even clicks.
  • A business Google understandsWho the company is, where it works and what it offers, described on every page.

Design language

Blueprints, not decoration.

We kept the brand’s black and teal and borrowed the language of the trade: technical drawings, dimension lines and concentric rings, all moving quietly as you scroll.

A small, playful anchor that follows the scroll.

Dimension lines that draw themselves into place.

Why it’s this fast

Lighter than one photo

The whole design of the site weighs less than a single photo on it.

Nothing from outside

No outside services to wait for. Everything comes from one place.

The big picture first

The main photo is the first thing the browser fetches, so the page looks ready almost instantly.

Photos that load smoothly

Every photo re-saved to appear sharp while it is still loading.

Remembered by the browser

On a second visit almost nothing needs to download again.

Text that never jumps

Every element knows its place before it loads. Zero layout shift.

Launch

A launch worth sharing.

We announced the new site with a carousel, a story and an animated reel, with motion and sound designed in-house.
