01 · Context
The website had fallen behind a strong specialist business.
The website needed to reflect the service as it operates today.
Lease Plans Online produces accurate, compliant plans for commercial property transactions. The work depends on technical knowledge, responsiveness and trust, while the previous website no longer gave customers a sufficiently clear view of the service.
The redesign began with the business itself: who enquires, the questions they bring, the evidence that builds confidence and the information Gabrielle needs before she can quote or schedule the work.
02 · Understanding
Organise expertise around customer questions.
Start with the customer’s questions.
Service categories, property terminology, geographic coverage, timescales and plan requirements were reorganised around the questions a customer needs answered before making contact.
Business needs to receive
A useful, quotable first enquiry.
- Property location and type
- Required plan or transaction context
- Timing and access information
- Relevant documents or constraints
03 · Structure
Make every service easy to find without losing expert detail.
Make services, guidance and next steps obvious.
The new structure distinguishes primary services, practical guidance, next steps and trust material. Calls to action match the customer’s stage and the information they’re ready to provide.
04 · Enquiry
Make the enquiry form part of the service.
Ask better questions before the first conversation.
The contact journey helps potential customers understand what information’s useful and gives the business a stronger starting point for quoting and scheduling.
05 · Visual direction
Make the design match the credibility of the service.
Make the design distinctive without overpowering the service.
The visual approach uses warmer surfaces, calm typography and structured information blocks to give the specialist service a distinctive, credible presence.
Typography
Stronger editorial headings and a stable reading measure support the property and service content.
Imagery
Screens and diagrams are used where they help customers understand the work, while imagery remains purposeful and specific.
Interface tone
The interface keeps the specialist service, evidence and customer decisions at the centre of the presentation.
06 · Technical and search foundation
Design the systems behind the interface too.
Make the site fast, secure and dependable.
The live site work includes responsive implementation, search metadata, structured data, canonical rules, hardened forms, authenticated email delivery, accessibility improvements and ongoing Search Console review.
07 · Before and after
Show exactly what changed.
Compare how the service is presented.
This is not a pixel-for-pixel recreation of the same page. It shows the underlying change in information hierarchy: from long, loosely grouped service information to clearer choices, trust signals and next steps.
The site now gives clients a much clearer picture of what I do and makes the whole enquiry process easier from the beginning.
