Crafting a Bespoke Website for First Garden Design – A Case Study
At Swanky Pixels, we specialise in crafting bespoke website design for creative businesses, and our recent study project with First Garden Design was a perfect blend of design aesthetics and functionality. First Garden Design, an expert in garden design and consultancy across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and the Cotswolds, needed a website showcasing its expertise, portfolio, and services while optimising SEO and local search visibility.
In this article, we’ll explain how we designed and optimised their new website to enhance user experience, drive organic traffic, and increase engagement.
Understanding First Garden Design’s Needs
First Garden Design wanted a professional, visually engaging, and easy-to-navigate website that would:

- Appeal to homeowners across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and the Cotswolds
- Improve search engine rankings (SEO) for local searches
- Generate more enquiries and conversions

With these goals in mind, we crafted a fully responsive website with SEO-rich content, stunning visuals, and a user-friendly layout.
