Atelier 109 is a small collective of highly qualified stonemasons which creates and builds medium size projects in natural stone. Their projects range from beautifully hand crafted fireplaces to stone staircases in French Limestone and Portland stone to renovation projects and new builds where their traditional stonemason's skills are used to create superb, long-lasting stone window mullions, doorways, chimneys and walls and floors in a variety of stone.
The client had a clear idea of the style he wanted for his website design, preferring a pale limestone grey pallet and a clean, uncluttered appearance. He had a requirement for a large number of photographs to be displayed, linked to separate pages of the website. At Chads Web Design Studio, we therefore made use of the Lightbox style gallery which allows links to multiple images, either from thumbnails or from text links, and the images pop up to display over the underlying page. This meant that from 4 visible thumbnails on the traditional stonework page, we are able to display 4 separate galleries totaling 60 photos.
Displaying images in this way also means that each page of the site can be compact and contained within a screen resolution of 1024 x768 and nothing is lost "below the fold".
Special attention was given to search engine optimisation for this website for stonemasons. After just two weeks the whole site has been indexed by Google and Atelier109.co.uk is coming up number one for the search string "Ketton Stone Fireplaces", "Ketton Stone staircases" and number 3 for "stone fireplace maker" and "stone staircase maker".
