Project Overview

A website redesign for a UK-based bespoke kitchen and bedroom company — focused on showcasing craftsmanship, building trust, and driving consultation enquiries.

The Client

Neil Bage Designs is a family-run workshop based in Spennymoor, County Durham, specializing in bespoke kitchens, bedrooms, and home office solutions.

With over 40 years of craftsmanship, the business is built on traditional cabinet-making expertise combined with modern design — delivering fully custom, high-quality interiors tailored to each client.

The Challenge

The business relied heavily on word-of-mouth and offline reputation, but needed a website that could reflect the same level of quality and trust online.

Key challenges included:

  • Translating premium craftsmanship into a digital experience
  • Showcasing detailed, custom work without overwhelming users
  • Building trust and credibility for high-value home projects
  • Creating a clear path for users to request consultations
  • Structuring content for a non-technical, local audience

The goal: To create a website that reflects the brand’s quality and experience — while converting visitors into enquiries.

The Approach

  • Focused on visual storytelling through project imagery and service sections
