Mutton della Scala

The old site didn't let you see them. It was a circa-2019 WordPress / Visual Composer template — the drag-and-drop era of stacked rows and generic sections — which is the worst possible frame for a maker whose whole case is visual. Real, remarkable projects were reduced to small, context-free images in a template grid.

The rebuild turns the site into a portfolio, the way a craftsperson's site should be. Photography-led, with named real projects, a heritage trust band that reflects the years behind the work, and a guided quote request — because for bespoke work, the enquiry is a conversation, not a checkout.

Both ways, every page.

Original on the left, rebuild on the right — the same page, the same viewport. A redesign is judged past the homepage, so every page we hold both sides of is here, desktop and mobile. Where the rebuild folded several pages into one, every original is shown against it rather than one being picked to flatter the comparison.

Area by area.

The working notes from the rebuild, unedited — what the original site did, and what replaced it. Written while the work was happening, in the language the site is in.
