Create New Modern, Clean Wordpress Website

I’m looking for a web developer to provide a quotation/ideas for our website/branding and improve SEO.

Our company has two websites, the first is our main site www.epsgroup.co.uk which is a site that we developed ourselves 6 or 7 years ago in Wordpress. Given that it’s pretty much our only form of marketing and that we spend a fair amount each month on PPC campaigns we feel that the site is in need of an upgrade.

I’m not sure if we need to look at just a new website, or maybe even a rebrand. We are pretty open to options and I have plenty of competitors who’s websites I can show you that I feel are better than ours.

The second site is www.airpressuretests.co.uk which we use localised pages with local phone numbers around the country to attract work. I’m aware this practice is frowned upon but it does bring in quite a few leads without having to pay Google a small fortune. Maybe this should be incorporated into the main site or just kept separate?

The priority is the main www.epsgroup.co.uk site which is where we direct or PPC campaigns to.

Example landing pages on our site:

https://www.epsgroup.co.uk/air-tightness-testing/

https://www.epsgroup.co.uk/sap-calculations/


I’m also conscious that our domain authority on both sites is pretty poor, so this may need to attention.

We would ideally like to stick with using Wordpress so that we can edit/add pages as and when needed.

Example sites/competitors:

https://c80solutions.co.uk/ - Quick, clean site. I like how on the home page their services are clearly laid out in the square boxes. I’m not so fussed on the photo’s but like the concept. I don’t like the book online section that they use for air tests as realistically this is unfeasible. Their system is not live they only call you back anyway. Quite like the ‘How it works section’ on each service page.

https://atspaceltd.co.uk/ - Again, quick clean site without too much text. Once again I like the services section (prefer this one to c80 as they have not used photo’s). The site generally looks more modern than ours. To be honest it did used to look slightly better but I think they have been adding bits here and there since it was originally designed. They have a lot of videos. Maybe we need some updated ones? Either filmed or animated? This is probably one of our favourite sites but I’m open to the option of some such as yourself that is outside of the industry.

https://www.novaacoustics.co.uk/ - These guys offer sound testing which is not a service we provide (we will from Jan next year). We send them leads for sound tests and they send us air tightness test work. The site again has a decent select your service section and what this site does really well is rank highly on natural listings. For example if you search for a sound test in a particular area they are pretty much always there naturally. They don’t really use PPC much. The site seems to operate similarly to our air test site but does a better job in my opinion. I do like the flow, simplicity and speed of the site.

The proposal should be for a full transfer of text etc from the current site (or sites depending how we approach matters) to the new website, not just for template pages to be provided for us to add text.
