Commercial Fit-Out & M&EWordPress Block Theme

A bold WordPress website for a commercial fit-out contractor.

Exel Contracts needed a modern revamp that matched the scale of their electrical, mechanical and fit-out projects across London and the South East. We designed and built a custom WordPress website that loads fast, ranks cleanly on Google and makes commercial enquiries effortless.

01The brief

An established contractor outgrowing an ageing website.

Exel Contracts deliver commercial electrical, mechanical and interior fit-out projects where credibility on the first visit matters. Their previous website no longer reflected the standard of work they were winning on site, and it was difficult to update as new projects completed.

They wanted a complete revamp with practical advice on layout, structure and search visibility, without being handed off between account managers or waiting months for launch.

02What we built

Custom WordPress blocks built around commercial buyers.

We worked directly with the team to map out how facilities managers, main contractors and commercial clients evaluate a specialist contractor. Every core service was given a clear, structured landing page backed by accreditation badges, project proof and direct contact routes.

Under the bonnet, we built a lightweight custom WordPress block theme with zero page-builder bloat. Pages load in just over two seconds on mobile and score 100/100 in Google’s own SEO audit.

  • Bespoke WordPress block theme design and build
  • Service architecture for M&E and fit-out divisions
  • Mobile-first quotation and contact routing
  • On-page technical SEO and schema markup
  • Speed and image optimisation for mobile
  • Ongoing hosting, updates and direct support
