E-Timber

Website design, e-commerce, Google Ads

An e-commerce store built to convert trade professionals and home builders alike

Visit website

E-Timber is a UK timber supplier with a broad range: timber, sheet materials, garden timbers, insulation, fixings and tools. The site had to work as both an e-commerce platform and a resource hub, serving tradespeople ordering by the pallet and self-builders buying a few lengths, without either getting in the other's way.

Design and development

A store that converts trade and home builders alike.

The redesign brings the product range, the trade services and the customer support into one place that works for a very mixed audience. A builder who knows exactly what they want and a homeowner who does not should both get there quickly.

That meant designing for task completion rather than browsing: find it, spec it, order it. Less confusion means fewer people leaving, and it positions E-Timber as a reliable source for timber and building materials rather than just another catalogue.

Enhanced features

One store, two very different buyers.

A tradesperson ordering bulk on account and a homeowner buying four lengths of planed timber want opposite things from the same shop. These six features let the site serve both without compromising for either.

01Trade-first e-commerce design

A clean, no-nonsense shopping experience that makes it straightforward to find, spec and order materials quickly, reflecting the no-fuss authority of a hands-on independent supplier.

02Structured mega menu navigation

A range spanning timber, sheet materials, garden timbers, fixings, insulation and tools, organised by material type and subcategory so there is a logical route to exactly what someone needs.

03Bulk packs and variable pricing

A pricing architecture supporting both single purchases and bulk pack ordering, with quantity options on the product page, so trade buyers order at volume without complicating a one-off purchase.

04A bespoke quote request system

For larger projects, a dedicated flow that captures full material requirements in one place. It gives the team the detail to price properly and means no large enquiry falls through the cracks.

05Trade account registration

A quick, frictionless sign-up that turns a visiting tradesperson into an account holder with discounted pricing and faster repeat ordering, which is how this business grows.

06Partner accreditation showcase

The trusted brands and suppliers E-Timber stock, surfaced at the points where a first-time visitor is deciding whether to trust them.

Paid strategy

Immediate sales, while the organic work compounds.

A newly launched store cannot wait out the lead times that organic search demands, so we ran a Google Ads strategy built around Performance Max with tight audience targeting, aimed at purchase-ready trade professionals and high-intent DIY buyers.

The build did half the work. Because the navigation and checkout were already frictionless, every click landed somewhere that converted, which is why the conversion rate moved as far as it did. Targeted reach and a good site together, rather than either on its own.

"These guys are the best. I tried an alternative company because I was quoted on something I believed at the time to be expensive, but as the saying goes, you pay peanuts and you get monkeys. They turned around a website in five weeks and it was appalling. I pleaded with Tom at designbox to save my skin, and this man worked miracles and still continues to. They took the abysmal attempt by another firm at creating an e-commerce website, identified the issues, worked out why it was so slow, rejigged it, and are continuing to exceed my expectations. The whole team have been outstanding and I feel almost part of their business, working so closely with them. If I could give them six out of five stars I would."
