At Vista Design, we don’t just build websites—we build digital experiences that connect brands with their audiences. When A Build Above The Rest, a reputable construction and renovation company, approached us for a complete website overhaul, we knew it had to be something special. They needed a platform that not only represented their exceptional craftsmanship but also gave potential clients an effortless way to explore their services and get in touch.
A Build Above The Rest is a well-established UK-based construction company offering a wide range of home improvement services. From loft conversions and house extensions to interior refurbishments, kitchens, bathrooms and driveways, they’ve carved out a strong name for delivering high-quality workmanship with a personal touch.
Their previous website, while functional, no longer reflected the calibre of work they produce or the scale of their offerings. It lacked visual engagement, modern design elements, and intuitive navigation. They needed a site that would not only look great but work as a marketing tool to attract new business. Our mission was to help elevate their brand and provide a professional online presence that aligned with their values of quality, reliability and trust.
We selected WordPress as the CMS of choice due to its robust features, versatility, and user-friendly backend. Our goal was to create a professional, visually striking, and easy-to-navigate site that captured both the visual appeal of their work and the broad scope of their services.
Key design considerations included:
Custom homepage layout featuring hero banners, service summaries, and a dynamic portfolio gallery to immediately engage visitors.
The result is a sleek, modern website that blends visual appeal with practical usability—making it easy for potential clients to explore, learn, and enquire.
With the increasing number of users browsing on mobile devices, mobile optimisation was a key focus throughout the project. The new website is fully responsive, offering a seamless experience across smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
We carefully designed layouts that adapt fluidly to all screen sizes, ensuring that content remains readable and navigation stays intuitive. Interactive elements such as phone numbers and call-to-action buttons are touch-optimised for easy access. To support users on the go, we also implemented mobile-friendly menus and streamlined page structures. Additionally, all media was optimised for performance, helping pages load quickly even on slower mobile networks.
A high-performing website needs to be visible to the right audience, so search engine optimisation was integrated from the ground up. We structured content around targeted keywords relevant to the construction and home improvement industry, helping the site rank more effectively for local searches.
Meta titles and descriptions were crafted to appeal to both search engines and users, with clear, concise messaging designed to increase click-through rates. A logical heading hierarchy ensures that content is easy to read for both users and bots. We also optimised image names, alt text, and file sizes to improve both accessibility and load times. All URLs were structured cleanly, keeping them descriptive and keyword-friendly to support ongoing SEO efforts.
Performance and security are essential to delivering a trustworthy and reliable user experience. The website is hosted on a fast, WordPress-optimised server that ensures excellent uptime and quick load times across all devices.
We implemented SSL encryption across the entire site to protect user data and improve search engine rankings. Regular security protocols, including firewall protection and malware scanning, help keep the site safe from threats. We also enabled daily backups to safeguard content, and advanced caching tools were used to improve page speed and reduce server load.
We’re proud to have partnered with A Build Above The Rest to create a modern, high-performance website that not only looks great but also supports their ongoing business growth. This project demonstrates how a well-designed website can reflect a brand’s professionalism, build trust with potential customers and drive enquiries through a seamless digital journey.
