Understanding the business

Cartenatex had built real trust with their customers over ten years of operation — but without a modern website, that reputation wasn't reaching new audiences online.

  • No way for customers to browse or purchase services and parts digitally
  • Website did not reflect the quality and experience of the business
  • Missing an SEO foundation to compete in local search
  • No mobile-optimised experience for on-the-go customers

What we built

We designed and developed a full website rebuild with a storefront at its core.

  • Brand-aligned design that communicates professionalism and trust
  • Online storefront allowing customers to browse services and products
  • Add-to-cart and order flow to streamline the purchase experience
  • Mobile-first build, optimised for customers searching from their phones
  • SEO foundations including structured pages, metadata, and performance optimisation

The result

Cartenatex now has a digital presence worthy of their reputation — and a storefront that works while they're in the workshop.

  • A professional platform that builds credibility with new and returning customers
  • Online sales channel operational from day one of launch
  • Strong mobile experience capturing the majority of local search traffic
Cartenatex went from a dated web presence to a fully functioning digital business — with a storefront that extends their reach beyond the workshop floor and a brand online that matches the trust they've earned in person.
