Ladders UK Direct is one of the UK's top online ladder stores. They offer great prices on a wide range of ladders, work platforms and other height access solutions for tradespeople and DIYers alike. And unlike many of the ladders you'll find online, all products sold by Ladders UK Direct come from respected manufacturers whose ladders are tested and certified safe to use.
We first worked with Ladders UK Direct some years ago, building them an ecommerce website that launched in late 2019. Since then, the online landscape has changed significantly – and while we continued to tweak and optimise the site over the years, everything was still built on top of that same ageing foundation.
By the end of 2025, the site had become something of a Frankenstein's monster: still functional, still performing well, but weighed down by years of bolted-on extras. It was time for a more comprehensive update.
So we rebuilt the whole website from the ground up to create a faster, smoother and more modern ecommerce site that's easier for customers to navigate and easier for the Ladders UK Direct team to manage.

We recently launched a brand new website for Print Metal Fabrication! The previous version of this site was launched nearly a decade ago, and very little had changed in the intervening time. The design felt dated, the content no longer reflected the business as it is today, and most importantly, it didn't do justice to the incredible range of work Print Metal Fabrication (formerly Printmet) are capable of producing.
Those who follow Print Metal Fabrication on Facebook or Instagram know they're constantly sharing photos of impressive creations and large-scale projects. But their old website just had a handful of generic service pages with very little detail or visual proof of what they can actually do.
Our goal for this project, then, was to create a modern, image-led website that would properly showcase the PMF team's capabilities and help to bring in more enquiries.

- Make it easy to browse a large sales and hire range on any device
- Provide customers with robust online accounts for managing orders and hired items

Supplements Direct has been a familiar name in the UK fitness world for years – the place you'd go for your protein, creatine and so on. But as their customers' needs evolved beyond the gym, so did their brand. They wanted to move from being 'just' a sports supplement retailer to a trusted destination for everyday vitamins, health and wellbeing.
That's where we came in. Designer Websites were asked to create a new ecommerce website that would...
- Look clean and credible to a broader audience (without alienating the fitness-focused customer base)
- Provide a smooth shopping experience for mobile and desktop users
- Encourage repeat orders for daily vitamins and health supplements
- Perform brilliantly in search engines
And that's exactly what we built! Visit www.supplementsdirect.com now to see the results for yourself, or read on to learn more about this project.
