Overview
Gold Recruitment is a construction and renovation firm working across Exeter and Devon — founded by experienced tradespeople who build the projects they manage, from kitchens and bathrooms to loft conversions, extensions, restorations and external works. They had the craftsmanship, the reviews, and Federation of Master Builders credentials; what they didn't have was a digital presence that told that story at a glance. Charged Studio designed and built their website end to end — a fast, credible home online that matches the quality of the work on site.
The brief
Homeowners choosing a builder for a kitchen or an extension are making a big, nervous decision — and they judge fast. A dated or missing website costs the job before a conversation ever starts. Gold Recruitment needed a site that established trust immediately, made their range of services legible, showed off finished work, and gave a homeowner one obvious way to ask for a quote — all while being easy to find when someone searches for a builder in the local area.
The solution
We built a clean, confident site organised around the way people actually hire a builder. Each service has a clear place, so a visitor lands on the exact job they came for. Trust signals — FMB membership, real reviews, and a showcase of completed projects — are placed exactly where hesitation sets in. Every section funnels to a single, low-friction enquiry form and phone number, so interest never hits a dead end. And the whole thing is fast, mobile-first, and structured for local search, so it works as a genuine lead source rather than a digital business card.
What we built
Service-led structure
Kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, loft conversions, restorations and external works each get a clear home, so a homeowner lands on exactly the job they came to book.
Trust, front and centre
Federation of Master Builders membership, real client reviews, and completed-project proof are placed where doubt usually creeps in — turning a cold visitor into a confident enquiry.
Built for local search
Structured around how people in Exeter and Devon actually search for a builder, so the site works as a lead source, not just a brochure.
One clear path to enquire
Every section drives to a single, low-friction contact form and phone number — no dead ends, no hunting for how to get a quote.
Project showcase
A visual portfolio of finished work — kitchens, garden builds, bathrooms — that lets the craftsmanship do the selling before a word is read.
Fast and mobile-first
A lightweight build that loads instantly on a phone on-site, where most trades enquiries actually happen.
Services and finished-project showcase — craftsmanship doing the selling.
The design approach
The site had to feel as solid and dependable as the builds behind it. A grounded palette, confident typography, and generous space let the photography of finished work carry the page. Nothing competes with the two things that win a trades job online — proof it's been done well before, and an easy way to ask. Everything else gets out of the way.
Outcome
Gold Recruitment now has a website that finally matches the quality of their work — credible at a glance, easy to navigate, quick to load, and built to turn a local search into an enquiry. It gives a hands-on trades business a digital presence that pulls its weight, and gives homeowners the confidence to pick up the phone.
