Revolutionising the Construction Industry

I independently designed and built the website for Hemspan, a construction company and supplier of eco-conscious building materials.

Hemspan aim to revolutionise the construction industry by offering sustainable alternatives to environmentally-harmful construction practices, as well as designing net zero carbon homes.

Hemspan’s focus on bio-based materials and modular approach to construction sets them apart as pioneers in their field, and working with them allowed me to apply my skills to a project aligned with my commitment to green initiatives.

Homepage Landing

Website Design and User Experience

My role involved developing the website from scratch based on provided text content. I designed and structured the website to effectively communicate Hemspan’s mission and values, while ensuring a seamless user experience.

The design was tailored to support and reflect Hemspan’s identity and message, as well as their commitment to facilitating positive change in the construction industry.

Optimisation for Superior Performance

I implemented technical optimisations to ensure excellent website performance. One notable improvement was a custom plugin filtering WordPress plugin activity on specific pages, resulting in faster page load times and improved overall site performance and SEO.

Building Development Projects

Empowering Flexibility and Design Control

To provide Hemspan with full control over their website, I developed custom front-end modules.

These modules offer design flexibility, enabling Hemspan to easily customise and expand the website’s front-end to their needs, and to remain a dynamic and adaptable digital presence as their business evolves.

Enhanced Content Management Experience

I implemented customisations to the back-end of the website to provide a clutter-free content management experience for the client without unnecessary complexity.

The information architecture of the CMS is intended to be as simple to navigate as possible, with frequently visited admin pages elevated to the main menu to be quickly accessible. The back-end is also styled with the client’s brand colours and logo.
