Blakeney Leigh

A Website That Builds Confidence for a Greenwich Property Consultancy.

Web Design

Responsive Build

Overview.

A refined, professional website for a multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy that wins work from councils, developers and housing associations.

Blakeney Leigh was founded by Alan Blakeney and Simon Leigh in 1986 and is now run by John Ottley BSc MRICS from its office in Greenwich, London. Its team of architects, designers, cost consultants, building surveyors and project managers delivers projects from design to completion for local authorities, registered social landlords, developers and private clients across the UK. We designed and built a WordPress website that reflects the firm’s experience and makes it easy for clients to find the right service.

WordPress CMS: The team publishes new projects, news and insights themselves, with no developer needed.
Ten Services Explained: Building surveying, architecture, employer’s agent, clerk of works, cost consultancy, drone surveys, party wall and more each have their own page.
Classic Professional Design: Greenwich Teal, Slate Sage and elegant Times New Roman headings give the site the polished, trustworthy feel of an established consultancy.
Projects by Sector: Commercial, education, property manager, private and social housing pages help each type of client find relevant work.
Clear Navigation: About, Services, Sectors, Projects, News and Contact sit in one simple menu, with careers and compliance pages close at hand.

The Challenge.

Showing Breadth Without Losing Clarity.

Blakeney Leigh offers a wide range of specialist services across very different sectors, from major housing refurbishment schemes to lead paint surveys and 3D capture. The website needed to explain all of this clearly to busy professional buyers in councils and housing associations, show a track record of real projects, and reflect more than 35 years of experience, while still feeling modern and easy to use.

A Broad Service Range: More than ten specialist services needed a clear structure so visitors could find what they need quickly.
Professional Buyers: Councils, developers and housing associations needed to see the firm’s credentials and compliance at a glance.
Proving Experience: Completed projects such as Shrewsbury House and Thannington Court in Greenwich needed to be shown at their best.
Building Relationships: The site needed to show the firm is big enough for large projects but small enough to care about every client.

The Results.

A website as solid and dependable as the projects it showcases.

The new website gives Blakeney Leigh a confident, professional presence that matches its reputation. Visitors are welcomed by a striking architectural hero, then guided through services, projects and sectors in three clear steps. Latest projects, client logos including Barratt Homes and Homes England, and a live Instagram feed show the scale of the firm’s work, and the team keeps everything up to date themselves through WordPress.
