Case study
A local practice website people can recognise.
Ashburton Eyecare needed a website that felt local, familiar and easy to trust. Service structure, local visibility and photography planned with the site shaped the work.

The situation
What needed to change
The practice needed an online front door that matched the care and familiarity patients already associated with the clinic. A template-led site would have left services, people and place looking interchangeable with any other practice.
What was delivered
- A clear practice website with service pathways and a confident local introduction.
- Information architecture shaped around how people search for and choose a local optometrist.
- Custom photography directed with the website plan, so key pages could show the real practice.
- Local search foundations as part of the same delivery, without unsupported outcome promises.
Important website decisions
Choices that shaped the site
Plan photography with the website
Images were directed for the pages that needed them — team, rooms, equipment and the feel of the practice — instead of being added after a generic layout was finished.
Make the first impression specific
The site leads with who the practice is and what local patients need to understand, rather than a broad agency-style capabilities story.
Keep the next step obvious
Booking and enquiry pathways stay visible in the header and page structure so service discovery can turn into contact without friction.
Verified outcome / current state
What can be stated from the evidence
The delivered site presents Ashburton Eyecare as a specific local practice, with custom photography and a clearer service structure than a stock template provides. Local search foundations were included in the project scope. Detailed ranking or click-through figures are not republished here without a separate Optisite evidence approval.
