Chimney sweep, moved off WordPress
Captain Sweep: case study
A NACS-qualified chimney sweep in Bath, covering Bath, Bristol and the towns around them. We rebuilt his website so customers can see what every job costs and book it online in a minute, from a phone or a desktop.
The project
What was needed
Captain Sweep is Paul Gibbs's chimney sweeping business. His old WordPress site opened on a black screen with a headline, then ran on for pages of text. The way to book was a small button in the menu, and the services, prices and areas he covers were hard to find.
Paul wanted a site that showed what each job costs, let customers book without ringing him, and looked as good as his work. So we did the lot: a clear page for every service and every town, booking built in (his existing Acuity calendar stays), the photos, the wording and the domain.
Before and after
From a wall of text to a site that books jobs
Before: the old home page
After: the new home page
Before: the contact page, with Book Now as a small menu button
After: pick the job, check the days for your area, and book a time

The work
What this demonstrates
We do the moving, so he can get on with the sweeping
The old site stayed up until the new one was ready. We built the new site, kept his booking calendar, wrote the area pages and switched the domain over, and Paul did nothing technical. If your website is hard to use, or hard to book from, tell us what you want it to do and we'll sort the rest.
Inside the site
Beyond the home page
Services and prices
A page for every town
On a phone
Built for the screen most people use
On a phone the old home page was a black screen with a headline and a long scroll. The new one (shown here) puts the opening hours, a Click to book button and a Call button at the top of every page, so services, prices and booking are never more than a tap away.
Technical notes
How it's built
Every page is built on the server, so it appears straight away and search engines can read all of it
Images are served at the size each screen needs, and the site scores 100 for performance, accessibility and best practice in our Lighthouse tests
Booking stays with his existing Acuity calendar, so nothing about how he takes jobs had to change
Hosted and maintained by us, with the domain moved off his old host
