About this project

DMR Design and Build, a North Canterbury based home builder, came to me during a period of rapid growth. They needed a website that could better reflect the quality of their work and position them for larger, more premium projects.

I designed a clean, image-led landing page on Squarespace that allows their builds to take centre stage, supported by clear messaging around their capabilities and process. The scrolling format keeps the experience simple and engaging, while still guiding potential clients through key information.

The structure was built with future growth in mind, allowing for a seamless transition into a more expansive multi-page website as the business continues to scale.

I also implemented SEO foundations to improve their visibility within the competitive local building market.
