Ictinus identity
A contractor website built around trust and direct enquiries

Earning trust beyond third-party lead platforms
Ictinus Contractors had more than 12 years of trade experience, verified customer feedback and a growing reputation across London, but no website of its own. Prospective clients had to piece the business together from separate trade profiles. The new site needed to establish credibility independently, explain a broad service offer, showcase completed work and provide a direct route to request a quote.
Website strategy for a London refurbishment contractor
Multi-page website
Home, About, Services with 7 service categories, Portfolio with 6 projects and gallery, Contact with quote form, and Testimonials.
Third-party review integration
Checkatrade, MyBuilder and Google proof is surfaced with clear attribution and links to the original profiles, helping visitors verify the reputation for themselves.
Copywriting
All website copy crafted to speak to homeowners, landlords, letting agents, and commercial clients, each with their own relevant messaging.
Portfolio with photo galleries
A project-by-project showcase with location, service type, and expandable image galleries.
SEO & local search
Optimised for searches like "decorator London", "refurbishment East London", and relevant service-specific keywords.
Conversion strategy
Multiple CTA placements, strong trust signals, and a direct quote flow built to turn visitors into enquiries.
An owned, trust-led enquiry journey
Owned site
Direct enquiry path
Prospects can review the business and request a quote without starting on a lead marketplace.
Clear scope
Service-led structure
Dedicated content explains refurbishment, decorating and specialist services in a crawlable format.
3 sources
Verifiable social proof
Checkatrade, MyBuilder and Google feedback support trust without presenting ratings as website results.
Ictinus Contractors now has a professional website it controls, with clear services, project proof, attributed reviews and a direct quote request. The build does not claim credit for the company's existing ratings; it uses that independent evidence more effectively and gives prospective clients a clearer path from research to enquiry.
