As an established player in the competitive construction sector, Ruttle faced the need to transition from traditional operations to a digital-first approach. Their existing online presence did not fully capture the breadth of services, from plant hire to haulage and recycling, nor did it provide easy ways to showcase projects or handle account applications securely.
We delivered a tailored WordPress solution, starting with discovery and planning to align with Ruttle’s vision. The build incorporated static pages for core information and CMS-driven modules for dynamic content, all optimised for performance and security.
The responsive, mobile-first design ensures the site adapts seamlessly to any device, aligning perfectly with Ruttle’s brand identity through custom typography, colour schemes, and imagery that reflect their heritage in construction. At the heart of the platform is a customised WordPress CMS with role-based access controls, allowing administrators to assign permissions based on user roles.
