Aldergate Roofing

The Aldergate Roofing website

The brief

A roofing firm needed a site that feels as heavy and permanent as the work, for homeowners and site managers alike.

The site it replaced

The old site was a fixed width template from 2013 with a gradient header, centred serif text and a gallery that said under construction.

The decisions

  • Condensed uppercase display type set tight. Roofing is sold on confidence, not charm.
  • Diagonal section edges cut at a roof pitch run through the whole page. The structure of the site repeats the structure of the work.
  • Completed jobs listed as a plain ledger: street, town, scope, duration. That is how this trade proves itself.
  • The workmanship guarantee and established line sit in the first viewport, dated and specific.

Where it landed

A site a homeowner trusts and a main contractor can skim in a minute, with the guarantee in the first screen.
