The brief

Bronze Conservation is a specialist family-run business that has worked with bronze since 1985, conserving war memorials, cenotaphs, statues, plaques, bells and architectural metalwork for councils, trusts, cathedrals, estates and private collectors across the UK. Its strongest case is its record of finished work, from Chatsworth House to Ripon Cathedral and the Liverpool Cenotaph, and it needed a site that presented that record with the care the work itself demands. It also needed to explain a wide range of services clearly and give commissioning bodies a simple way to ask for a quote.

Our approach

We opened the site on a full-screen image of the Titanic Engineers Memorial in Southampton, then set out eight services, from patination to plaque re-lettering, and a drag-to-reveal before and after of a Chatsworth House bell from 1826. The portfolio holds more than 90 restorations that filter by category, from war memorials to fountains, each with its own page showing the work performed, location and a photo gallery. A quote form that asks for the site and type of work opens from every page.

What we built

  • Full-screen hero on the Titanic Engineers Memorial, Southampton
  • Eight services, from patination to plaque re-lettering
  • Drag-to-reveal before and after of the 1826 Chatsworth House bell
  • Portfolio of more than 90 restorations, filterable by category
  • Project pages with work performed, location and photo gallery
  • CHAS Standard accreditation in the header
  • Pop-up quote form with spam protection on every page
  • Secure hosting, SSL and ongoing care
Built-in detail

Bronze Conservation is a trading name, so the privacy page states that it is the trading name of Mark Livingstone, a sole trader, gives a business address and covers the spam-protected quote form. Every project page also carries its own title, description and structured data, so search engines can read each restoration in its own right.

The result

A site that does justice to four decades of craft, letting councils, cathedrals and trusts browse real restorations by type and send a detailed enquiry in one step.
