Creating a premium, scalable website and online visibility with Roddy New Homes

The client

Roddy New Homes is a well-connected property developer with a reputation for building premium homes in sought-after areas. The company also operates its own construction division. Roddy was introduced to us through a mutual client who was impressed with our work and recommended our services.  

The challenge 

Roddy already had a brand identity in place, developed by a third-party agency we have a good working relationship with. However, building a website around an existing brand presents unique challenges. We needed to ensure the new site remained visually consistent, cohesive, and reflective of Roddy’s exclusive positioning. The existing brand featured royal blue, gold, and white, a palette that mirrors the quality of Roddy’s homes. The site had to feel premium, while also being highly functional and scalable.

Our approach

The strategy was to build a website that could evolve with Roddy New Homes’ business. Each design and technical decision were made with scalability and usability in mind. We collaborated closely with the client to deliver not just a website, but a foundation for independence. We implemented a login/account section in anticipation of future buyer and homeowner features as the business grows.  

Additionally, we ensured there was a “Partnerships” page to show the developers strong industry connections. Visually, we kept it clean and easy to update, with future SEO and backlinking potential in mind. Another valuable addition to the site was our custom-built development section to showcase individual, up-to-date plot information clearly, making browsing homes easily accessible for prospective buyers. 

Overall, we ensured the user experience would be simple and intuitive, empowering the Roddy New Homes team to showcase and market their developments to the public without relying on estate agents.
