CASE STUDY

REBUILDING A HIGH-RANKING WEBSITE WITHOUT LOSING SEARCH VISIBILITY

Aerial Service Huddersfield

Aerial Service Huddersfield already had strong visibility in Google for its core local search term, but the website itself was dated, difficult to use, and underperforming badly. Bean Creative Marketing rebuilt the site from the ground up in Node.js, modernised the user experience, and retained strong search visibility after launch.

Search Visibility
Retained

Strong visibility maintained for the core local search query after launch.

Previous Site
Underperforming

The old WordPress site was dated, not mobile-friendly, and had broken navigation.

New Build
Custom Node.js

A cleaner, faster, modern rebuild designed to support growth.

Project Overview

The original website looked tired, was not mobile-friendly, had broken menu functionality, and returned a very poor PageSpeed Insights performance score of around 10/100. The goal was not just to make it look better — it was to rebuild it properly without damaging the visibility the site had already earned in search.

The Challenge

The old website looked outdated and no longer reflected the quality of the business.

Navigation issues were creating a poor user experience, including a broken menu.

The site was not mobile-friendly, which is a major issue for modern users.

Performance was extremely poor, with a PageSpeed Insights score of around 10/100.

The business already had strong Google visibility, so the rebuild had to be handled carefully.

The Solution

Rebuilt the site as a custom Node.js website rather than relying on a dated off-the-shelf WordPress theme.

Created a cleaner, more modern design that better matches the professionalism of the business.

Improved structure and usability so visitors can find services more easily.

Delivered a responsive experience for mobile, tablet, and desktop users.

Kept the rebuild focused on preserving existing search visibility for the core local query.
