The challenge

Harbour & Hull won most of its work by word of mouth and from the vans parked outside jobs. The website was a 2014 template that did not work on a phone, and every booking still came through one office line that rang out after 4pm.

The brand on the vans, the site and the quote forms were three different shades of blue and two different logos. The owners wanted a site that took bookings at any hour and looked like the vans people already trusted.

The strategic approach

Design redrew the mark from the van livery so that nothing customers recognised was lost. Growth mapped how people search for an emergency plumber by suburb, which set the page structure before a single layout was drawn.

Operations wired the booking form into the job system the office already used, so an online booking lands as a job, not as an email someone has to retype.

Technical and creative execution

  • Identity refresh: one blue, one orange, the mark redrawn for vans, uniforms, quotes and the site
  • A hand-coded site with one page per service and per suburb served, under 600 KB a page
  • An online booking form with job type, address and a preferred time, sent straight into the job system
  • Click-to-call on every page and a tracked number, so calls from the site can be counted
  • Google Business Profile rebuilt with real photos of the vans and team

How impact is measured

Tracking goes in during week one, before anything changes, so every result is compared with a real baseline. These are the numbers this project reports on each month:

NumberWhere it comes from
